Nightdive specializes in remastering retro polygonal games that are difficult to play on modern hardware, releasing HD versions for PC and consoles. Their recent projects include The Thing, the Turok trilogy, System Shock, Forsaken, Doom 64, Quake, Quake 2, Shadow Man, Blade Runner, PO’ed, Rise of the Triad, and Star Wars: Dark Forces.
Typically, the studio focuses on games with original PC versions, modernizing them using their proprietary KEX Engine. However, in a recent interview with VGC, Nightdive’s studio head Stephen Kick and business development director Larry Kuperman expressed interest in expanding to remasters of titles exclusive to Xbox 360 or PS3.
“We stand ready,” Kuperman said. When asked about handling games from defunct studios of that era, he noted there are multiple factors to consider.
