6:54 That was my experience the first time playing this level as well. I had to memorize every turret spot, random pipe explosion, and constant thing crawlers spawning. It was frustrating, but I made it to the end of the level. Overall I enjoyed The Thing game. The atmosphere and disturbing transformations this game offered made me want to complete it. The gameplay is clunky and buggy, but once you understand how the controls and guns work it is worth a play through!

It was unfortunate, I'm not sure if there was something else I could have done, but I made it to the start of that level with like 15% health and I could make it to the last ramp with that pipe explosion and couldn't get around it. If they put even one med pack in the start of the level, it would have been fine. I think I forgot to mention in the review, but one of the control styles gives you pretty standard third person shooter movement and camera controls, and I really appreciated that. Anyway, definitely an enjoyable game. Thanks for checking out the video.

Actually John Carpenters THE THING wqs supposed to be a remake of the original THE THING FROM OUTER SPACE but John Carpenter loved that movie so much he didnt want to remake so he pitched a kind of reboot instead and thats what made THE THING happen

I read something like that, and I think he was really upset when the director of THE THING FROM OUTER SPACE hated The Thing. That guy said something like "if you want to see blood, go to a slaughterhouse." It's interesting to see how the two persisted culturally though, I don't believe I've ever heard of THE THING FROM OUTER SPACE outside of the context of it's history with The Thing, though I'm not much of a film head. Anyway, thanks for watching.

The Thing is likely my favorite mishandled franchise. Makes me wonder if a game along the lines of Telltales old games might have been a better option. Since, it's more psychological than action.

It really is a shame, they could have been printing money over all these years but they just... don't? I mentioned Gears of War because this version of it is so action focused, but a telltale or even some kind of social deduction roguelike would have been fantastic too. Monsters are always spooky, but it's the "it could be any one of us, even your best friend" that makes The Thing so special. I was trying to think of other poorly managed franchises, but I'm not much of a film head so I just bounced around Pokemon, Halo, and everything Konami has ever touched. I'm playing through a Castlevania right now thinking "This is great... what happened to this series?"

Tried playing through The Thing on the Og Xbox a year or so ago. Got soft locked after that crap boss fight you were able to cheese. Was liking the game until getting stuck. Hoping the upcoming remaster from Nightdive Studios turns out great. Damn shame we never got that sequel. Imagine if it came out on Xbox 360/PS3. You mentioned Syphon Filter, great franchise. Shame there's nothing like it today, especially the taser lol. If you're interested in another fun M rated 3rd person PS2/Xbox game? I'd recommend checking out The Punisher 2005.

That thing was miserable, I don't understand how it got through any kind of playtest. It's gotta be on top of the list of things to fix for the remaster though, right? I hope they can do it justice. I read that after this game was so popular, Computer Artworks took on like 5 contracts to make other games at the same time but didn't hire anymore staff, so when they couldn't get anything done, everyone stopped paying them and they collapsed. Poor management kill another golden goose. If they could have kept this going on later consoles, it could have been the next Resident Evil, but we'll never know. I spent so, so much time as a kid tazing dudes in the nuts until they caught on fire and just laughing... and laughing... I played through the first one again last year and it definitely holds up. I've never played it, but it looks pretty good. It's on the list to try one day in the future, thanks for the recommendation.

Have you tried D2? It is heavily inspired by The Thing but weird as hell since it's made by Kenji Eno.

Man, I want to have a witty comeback, but despite owning all of those games for years, I've only gotten a few hours in to the first one. I've let you down. Even considered grabbing the new console releases a bunch of times, but I didn't know if they would be lacking compared to the PC version.
