About this product

The 2002 third-person survival horror shooter that serves as a sequel to the genre-defining 1982 film is back, remastered by Nightdive Studios to bring this innovative blend of fast paced squad action meets survival horror to the modern era. Where the movie ended, the true terror begins. You are Cpt J.F. Blake, leader of a U.S. Special Forces rescue team sent to investigate the blood-curdling events and enigmatic deaths of the American scientific team that transpired at the Outpost 31 research facility located in the frozen wastelands of Antarctica. Within these inhospitable surroundings your team encounters a strange shape-shifting alien life-form that assumes the appearance of people that it kills. Trapped by the elements and infected by this horrific entity, using all your team members is critical if you hope to accomplish your objectives, let alone survive. If you only knew which ones were still human…

    Remastered memory = good times ahead.

    I still have the original S2 version. I loved it but got stuck and never went back. I figure the remaster will have better graphics, mechanics & sound. I’ve only read good things and am excited by what I’ve seen. I only gave it 4 stars as I’ve yet to play it but my love for the original plus updated everything assures me it will be a 4 if not 5 star game. I’m so glad they remade it.
