It's a remaster from PS3 era, they simply needed to make it run on modern systems. If they were smart they made the PC version modder friendly.

Remasters of such fairly current games seems silly to me. lighting is like the only thing that has really made leaps and bounds imho.

heck, path of exile, starsector were from this period.

There is speculation in that reddit on why there is no dialogue in the trailer. although, they say, they studio guy does say the original va cast is back and intact. so dunno. maybe the rights/contracts weren't solidified for the trailer yet.

The music licenses expiring caused it to be delisted from digital stores. Xbox BC never happened for the same reason. So only people who can realistically play it today are those who either have a PS3 or 360 still hooked up (and will also need a fairly expensive used copy if they didn't buy it digitally before it was taken down), or have the PC hardware to run it in RPCS3.

Also, I bought it for PS3 back when it first released and I remember the framerate being pretty terrible. The remaster is 60 fps on all the current gen platforms, except Switch of course.

That said, it wasn't a very good game either. Super short, yet still very repetitive. If the remaster is more than $20, I'd stay far away until it goes on sale.

Fascinating. Expert manipulation of the concept of FOMO, such as Fortnite uses. But instead makes a dumbass banana game and sells it for nothing. Even more dumbass the artificial scarcity of dumbass bananas allows them to get huge profits off of the secondary banana market.

God I hate people.

This sounds like nfts but somehow dumber and more restrictive.

DId you ever see the movie? The ending kinda ruins the whole premise. I won't spoil it entirely, but the creatures are attracted to sound, but vulnerable to a certain kind of sound.

Knowing this, all the government or anybody else would need to do is build large speakers, gather up the monsters, then emit the high pitched sound and kill them all. Rinse and repeat until they are all dead.

Made perfect sense to me. Overwhelming senses has been a method of stunning things for centuries. SWAT teams use flashbang grenades to stun their targets.

Their resilience was due to being 95% heavily armored and moving incredibly quickly such that nobody had been able to locate and exploit a weak point. The high volume high pitch sound stunned them enough that they were able to inject lead into weak points. How does this sort of thing ruin the premise?

Are you purposefully being obtuse because I'm posting or are you really that naive?

Doesn't matter how incredibly sneaky or quick they are. They are attracted to sound. You just create a giant sound source, all the creatures will gravitate there. Then, as you stated, release the equivalent of flash bang grenades, in this case something that emits high frequency, they are stunned, then fucking annihilate them. Doesn't matter how armored they are because once they are vulnerable, they can be killed, and if Emily Blunt and some deaf girl can do it, you think the military can't do it on a larger scale? You honestly think that somehow Emily Blunt and her daughter were the first to ever magically discover this? Because her daughter is deaf? You don't see it as some sort of contrived plot element to keep the story going? Like no one could have figured this out? Like you said, mankind has been using overwhelming sense for centuries, yet no one had bothered to test whether the creature's senses could be overwhelmed? Creatures who are HYPERSENSITIVE TO SOUND? Man, glad you weren't in charge.

I can't believe 1) I had to spell it out for you, twice, and 2) you couldn't figure this out for yourself and still can't even after I mentioned the flaw in the original post.
