[ENDED] Hard Reset Redux Giveaway & Quick Review!

I suppose I should have put "Played the original, and already played the redux" in the poll. OH WELL! You can post here to vote on that. ;)

Thanks, and I like the brevity of your reviews :) The original never attracted me since it seems to lack character (enemies are “meh” visually), yet after spending some time with Shadow Warrior I kinda want to see what else these guys did, so Redux seems to be a good reason to check it out… if it doesn't cost too much :)

Thanks for the GA!

Thank you for the chance. All depends of the game for example Super Frog HD, Seven Kingdoms HD ware ok, Heroes 3 HD isn't. The redux/hd versions of the game that hasn't been altered greatly, but game is good is a good move, even better if there are some extras attached. With Homm3 without SoD is just a bad move, also optimization counts as well (buggy product is worse then none), for example introduce of Realms of Arkania 1 HD

Played the original. got stuck at some points because the game is not easy. Got through it eventually, persevering and rethinking your strategy is important here. Good, enjoyable game IMO. Story is ok, nice atmosphere.

I've recently been playing Mickey Mouse Castle of Illusions Remaster. It's better than the original, It's also better than a full-on remake.

A lot of older games, even the good ones, suffer from problems related to being older games. From drab graphics to bad control schemes, from pacing problems to inane puzzles. A good remaster will improve the UI, control scheme, and graphics, while maintaining that quintessential gameplay that made it a classic. or at least makes the game compatible with modern hardware

Unfortunately, there are plenty of remakes/sequels out there that completely miss the boat on what made the original special. In that case, it's better to let people retain their fond memories

Mind if I send a Steam friend request? Would like to see your reviews on my feed :)

I neither have a youtube account nor will I get one, but I like your reviews. May I add you on Steam, so I can get your reviews on my feed?

I wasn't interested in redux version untill I found out that you can use sword in redux xD That might be nice xD

I've played the original and liked it but never finished it. Maybe this will change my mind. Thx!

I want to buy it, but when I do it say's I already own it and I won't get another copy and I don't want to spend $3 just to find out I won't get anything in return.

i dont even know the game but when this version release I think its a good chance to play it.
Redux version worth playing when they add more future to the game but if they only upgrade the graphic then its not worth to play them again.

Not really interested in the game, but here is a bump :D

Never played the original although always wanted to. I joined your giveaway, however, i don't like all these new trend abotu remaster pseudo-old games with only three of four graphical useless stuff. If Ubisoft or EA did this we all we calling them names, Deep silver or some indie does it and everything is cool, fine and its positive :/

Also lacking the option: I have the original sitting in my 500-games-long backlog, waiting to be played...
Would I be wrong assuming it's similar to the Bioshock games, gameplay-wise?

Bump ^^

Played the original, loved it but I have no intention of purchasing any redux/remastered/definitive versions of games. I view these versions as a huge waste of developer's time, assets and funding. Use your gained experience and resources on a new title. Make it better than your previous work. That's what I expect and that's what I'm willing to pay for.

played the original, never finished it. too repetitive.

Have you played the original Hard Reset?

Yeah, i have played it and liked it.

Do you plan on playing the Redux version?

No.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK OF REDUX/REMASTERED GAMES?

The Redux means " brought back, restored '.

The only title among these Redux'ed games that i've played is " Metro : Last Light '

I still don't know why 4A Games spent its time and money to make a " Redux " version for Metro series. It was really unnecessary. Both games and especially the second one ( Last Light ) have up to date graphics and by looking to their advertisement for the Redux version you can't find any important different in graphic compared to original one.

Redux should be happen for good old games from previous generations like 6th generation of game consoles.

I read the Steam reviews of the original game since someone mentioned it. The difficulty seemed too hard and the story was pretty confusing from what I understood. I've also heard this Redux version has downgraded graphics compared to the original. Since the original was received so poorly, this seems like it's a new attempt to make money from the same game. From what I understand they added very little new content.

I kind of like remasters of old, classic games, but this seems just an attempt at rebooting a failed game. Can't say I approve of that idea really. They should have just fixed the original game IMO.

I hope I'm not being to forward to ask this, but were you sick or something when you recorded this review? There seems to be a much more nasal sound coming from this video I hadn't heard on your previous videos. No offense intended.

I guess the story is nearly always an important factor for me. Your review made the game seem less bad than I initially thought though, but I don't think I'll ever play it. It's probably an OK game if you enjoy casual, fast paced shooting. At least they fixed the difficulty.

I've never played Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. I tried to play System Shock 2 a year back or so, since I'm a big Bioshock fan, but the fight/shoot system kind of threw me off and really I didn't have the time.

Well that explains it, sorry for being nosy (no pun intended :p). Not being able to smell isn't always a bad thing, but I hate when I can't breath out of my nose. When I get a cold, it drives me crazy. I have no idea what an ENT is but good luck with it ;) It's just something I noticed, you can't really do anything about it so don't worry about it. I hope they can find a solution for you, not being able to breath through your nose is the worst.

Edit: huh, I didn't post in reply to you I guess, oh well :D

I don't have problem with remastered games - if they are old. F.E. I love how they prepared Grim Fandango, and there are a lot of old (really old) great games that are unplayable at this point because of outdated graphics.
Hard Reset: Remastered - it's too soon - when I watch gameplays I don't see a difference.
As I said above - I would like to see how this catana works, but after spending A LOT of hours with original (getting all achievos, completing it in heroic mode). I think that I should finish this game using sword only to not be bored :)
Also.. why the hel not Hard Reset 2?
Story was far from being over and this could be beginning of nice series (I would definetelly buy HR2).
BUMP

This one seems to improve everything that made me not want to play the Extended Edition for more than an hour so I'd definitely give it a try and would probably enjoy it this time around.

I think Redux/Remastered/Whatever versions should be given for free to owners of the originals (if you need to make a redux then you probably didn't do it right the first time so people who bought the original shouldn't have to buy improved version), unless a lot of content has been added in which case it doesn't need to be free but should have a huge discount.

Now of course, reworks of really old games would be alright with full price.

I really loved hard reset. I didnt get that far into it before I got busy, but it was really fun and pretty nostalgic.

I don't plan on getting it. I absolutely loved Hard Reset, even more than Shadow Warrior as a matter of fact. Even the flaws made it all the more enjoyable to me. It was a rough game, and a hard one. Now the remake... I've seen some comparison shots and from what I gathered, the Redux version actually looks worse than the original. The dash is also pretty much unbalanced as you can spam it over and over with no stamina depletion.

I think the difficulty also got lowered... so yeah, since I didn't have any performance issues with the original I'll stick to it. I just wish I could have tried the Katana, but oh well.

Oh, a new game with low configurations, even I could run it on my old laptop. This is realy nice.

Redux/Remastered is ok if game is 10+ years old.
Bump ;)
