Video games which have been adapted from films are notorious for being rush-jobs or ill-conceived spin-offs. All too often, the game sticks so closely to the plot of the film that there are no surprises for the gamer and the story is squeezed into a game engine that can’t possibly handle it. Either that, or the title relates to the film so little that it is barely recognisable as being part of the franchise.
With this in mind, few would have thought that one of the best film adaptations in recent memory would be a branching adventure game developed by Westwood Studios, a studio famous for producing real-time strategy titles such as Dune II and Command & Conquer.
Playing on a PC with a 3070 RTX Skewed and Reviewed noted that the trailer seems to show better graphics than the reality of the actual game.
Looking forward to this one. Nightdive Studios and Alcon Entertainment Digitally Re-Release Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition on PC and Consoles Alongside Limited Run Games Physical Editions Classic Adventure Game Based on Ridley Scott’s Science Fiction Epic Available Now on PC and Consoles.
Running the PS4 build on PS5. It looked better running on SummVM. Since Nightdive and Alcon never had access to the source assets, they had to retreat and up-res from a final build. It does run smoothly and the interface is nice (simple), but everything is a blurry anti aliasing mess. A lot of the game literally looks like screen-shots of a bad jpegs that have been blurred to remove any jaggies, and not in a good way. I can appreciate revisiting this title as it is one of my all time favorites, but this "Enhanced edition" Is more like a Grim Fandango's half-baked remaster.
Shame, thought they could’ve at least done something to sharpen up the character models. Also one of my all time favourites but will likely only play for nostalgia sake.
Ran it just now on my PC and I am not seeing any enhanced visuals or gameplay. Runs and looks like the original.
It looks horrible on PC. Even with a 3070 RTX and the latest drivers it looks like the original game. The settings seem right so now idea why it is not showing any enhancements.
Already downloaded it and I love it!
Was a huge fan of point-and-click adventures back in the day and somehow missed out on this.
A new partnership could provide us with tons of Blade Runner content in the next few years.
