About The Thing: Remastered

✦ AI summary

The Thing: Remastered puts you in command of a U.S. Special Forces team fighting a shape-shifting alien threat in the frozen Antarctic wasteland, where you must manage your squad's trust and fear while deciding which teammates have been infected. Lead your soldiers through 20 levels of intense action against grotesque creatures, using dynamic squad tactics and heavy firepower, but beware—your own team members might already be compromised.

No One Survives Alone.

The 2002 third-person survival horror shooter that serves as a sequel to the genre-defining 1982 film is back, remastered by Nightdive Studios to bring this innovative blend of fast paced squad action meets survival horror to the modern era. Including Antialiasing, Per Pixel Lighting, 4K Resolution and up to 144 FPS.

Where the movie ended, the true terror begins.

You are Cpt J.F. Blake, leader of a U.S. Special Forces rescue team sent to investigate the blood-curdling events and enigmatic deaths of the American scientific team that transpired at the Outpost 31 research facility located in the frozen wastelands of Antarctica. Within these inhospitable surroundings your team encounters a strange shape-shifting alien life-form that assumes the appearance of people that it kills. Trapped by the elements and infected by this horrific entity, using all your team members is critical if you hope to accomplish your objectives, let alone survive. If you only knew which ones were still human…

The Thing: Remastered Key Features:
  • In 20 frightening levels, lead your team against terrifying monsters, from the scuttling head-spiders and human-like walkers to gigantic multi-tentacled beasts.
  • Advanced trust/fear interface adds a new level of interaction – How you influence your teams psychological state determines whether or not they will co-operate with you.
  • Experience brand new dynamic lighting, specular mapping, shadows, depth of field complemented by improved models, textures and environments to create a deep level of immersion.
  • Use awesome firepower like machine guns, explosives and flamethrowers to torch your enemies.
  • Brand new Achievements.
  • Quality of Life gameplay enhancements to improve your experience.
  • Choose multiple paths to solve problems that lie ahead and accomplish goals.

✦ AI summary

The Thing: Remastered is a short game that attempts an interesting squad trust and infection system that falls short of its full potential, but the remaster successfully fixes much of the jank from the original while remaining the best way to play the game in modern times. Players consistently praise the quality-of-life improvements, the engaging core experience, and their nostalgic connection to the title, making it a worthwhile experience for both newcomers and those returning to it.

Exactly the same as the original PS2 version just with slightly better facial expressions. It runs very smoothly. I didn't notice how cheesy the lines are in this game when I was a kid because I was mostly watching my dad play this game. I had fun playing this game again with my dad and marveling at how far gaming has come since then.

brings back all the nostalgia I had for this game when I owned it for PS2. I had bought a used copy and could never finish the game due to the disc being scratched up. So glad they remastered it. I finally got to complete it after all these years. Tons of fun with a lot of hours of gameplay. Really captured the essence of the movie. Ran this on my ROG AllyX and it worked great!

9/20/26 3:58 AM this is one of the most boring and confusing messes of a game i have ever played. and i honestly don't even know how to explain it. i think it's a well made mess that does it's best to be it's own thing but everything feels so dated and old. this game should have gotten a full remake with fully updated gameplay but instead we got this. it has some good ideas and mechanics but not much else. i feel like only die hard THING fans would enjoy this.

for being an older game, the gameplay was good, the story fun, and the characters were great, monsters were fun to burn, a straight forward game, no side objectives, straight to the point.

Great game not as intense as the movie but still gives a sense of fear as to who to trust and a lot of action in this game. Non stop. Would probably play it again.
