Hard Reset is one of those. While it may appear to be a classic shooter at face value, it does break a few rules of the genre. Unfortunately, this turns out to be a slight degradation on top of the old formula, rather than the refreshing quip of innovation that it so clearly wants to be."
First Flying Wild Hog's game, Hard Reset, is coming to PS4. Watch 9 minutes of exclusive console gameplay from Poznań Game Arena. With enhanced engine and new weapon - katana from Shadow Warrior! Release date is not yet known, but game looks superb!
WOW Hard Reset!!!? Remembering playing this game years ago on my PC never finish it thou, cause it was very buggy still lots of particle effects and pretty looking I hope that gets intact.
update: some particles effects are missing still game the looks freaking awesome, with correct price definitely will get this :D
Gameplay definitely looks dated but priced right as a PSN title it could provide a brief distraction.

Oh damn... I forgot this is coming to PS4. Awesome.
Played this on PC couple of years ago. Definitely lots of fun!

Flying Wild Hog shared with us some details about its future plans, next-gen consoles, the CPU issues that were present in Shadow Warrior PC, its opinion about Mantle and OpenGL, as well as the release of mod tools for Shadow Warrior, its intention to move it to 64bit and some tech info about the Road Hog Engine."
Shadow Warrior was an unexpected treat last year for PC gamers. I may go ahead and get it for PS4 anyway just to support these guys.
Flying wild hog are amazing devs with great consumer attitude... pretty much the exact opposite of EA then.
Shadow Warrior was hands down the best shooter last year. If you don't have a PC that can run it and have a ps4 or xbox one, buy this game. Support the devs and enjoy an amazing shooter with a surprisingly interesting story
This was such a good remake. I picked it up on a steam sale for less than $20. I didn't expect to like it nearly as much as I did. I would suggest you play this game. Its fun, funny, and full of Wang! I also suggest you check out Hard Reset. It was really good too.
Also bought it cheap because I appreciated the topical jabs at cod and bf in the trailer.
It's a fun game, but I doubt even the devs would say it was "one of the best looking games in 2013".
It looked good without a doubt. But no, not the best looking. Who said it was the best looking anyway?
SteamFirst: Hard Reset is a sci-fi FPS developed by indie studio Flying Wild Hog. Not only has this developer managed to pack this game full of beautiful textures and effects, but it is also a ton of fun. Hard Reset aims to bring you back to 1993 when the classic game Doom won the hearts of millions of gamers. The game is a wonderful mix of modern technology and classic FPS style gameplay found in other modern games such as Serious Sam. Hard Reset is an easy game to recommend and only faults in its poor story telling and long loading times.
I loved the demo but the game seems slightly overpriced, I heard it is quite short. I do want to support the developer, but I feel that a price 25% lower would probably have netted them a lot more profit overall (look at killing floor for example).
I will get it when it's on sale.
On another note, that engine is amazing. My puny laptop can max it out at 40-50fps with no noticable input lag, which baffles me because I get input lag at those kind of frame rates in most games :S
