I've heard it irl. Next to a large water pumping station. It is the occasional grind of a stone against the propeller I think.

I hope the Nude Raider mod gets updated too.

If it goes well, can we expect a remaster of Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver series? They're also owned by Crystal Dynamics and I recall them sending me a questionnaire asking about a possible revival

Don’t…. don’t give me hope

Very much looking forward to this. Pissed I have to buy it for a third time. Bought original for PC many moons ago. Then the same version on steam. Then the remastered version on steam. And will again be buying the re re re mastered version on steam.

I'm glad they were looking at Anniversary and Legends instead of the reboot by square enix for the modern version of controls, loved those games on PS2.

Feels kind of weird to have a remaster coming long after a total remake. Granted, I don't think they remade 2-3, just the first one - and it was for the sake of their small trilogy referencing events from the first game. (I think it went, Legend, then Anniversary (Remake), then Underworld, right?)

The original games are so old that it is quite messy to get them to run on PC these days and the remake changed the gameplay quite substantially. So this remaster is quite welcome and probably a lot cheaper to produce than a full 2 and 3 remake.

As for Anniversary, the story there is a bit weird, as Anniversary and Legend are basically completely independent games that have nothing much to do with each other other than the engine. Legend is a reboot and Anniversary is a remake. It's only with Underworld that the the story of those two get wrangled together into a trilogy. Only the first game is taken into account there, all the other sequels of the original game are ignored.

Seems nice, as long as they don't try to sell it for 80$ or more.

Not horrible. I'll wait some sale.

Nice to see some more info on the changes. I’m looking forward to getting my hands on this.
