Watch Observer's development team walk you through a gameplay demo highlighting new content and changes made for the updated version of this next-gen horror game remake.

This Observer System Redux gameplay demo highlights a lot of the next-gen tech, like 4k textures, ray-tracing, and HDR, and that has gone into the Observer System remake. If you’re a fan of the Observer System game, then this remastered version could be the horror remake you’ve been looking for.

3 year old games need remakes now?

Next-gen console rerelease. It's more like all those Kickstarted RPGs that get console Director's Cuts a year later.

I played this thing recently and it's one of the biggest piles of shit I've ever come across. Figures that the one-trick-pony hacks at Bloober Team only feel the need to update the visuals. The visuals were fine in the first place, it's the actual gameplay that is in serious need of some upgrading. It plays exactly like Layers of Fear (or any of their other games, really): Walk aimlessly along the spooky corridor until weird thing happens and the exit mysteriously appears, all the while adhering to a everything-at-the-kitchen-sink approach to horror, where no jump scare is cheap enough and no horror cliché is trite enough to not get thrown at the player. This game has pigeon-based jumpscares, for crying out loud! Read that again: It has PIGEON - BASED - JUMPSCARES! And if that was't dumb enough, they repeat that exact same jumpscare numerous times throughout the game. Not even Rutger Hauer can save this. In fact, he sounds like he was trying to have a nice nap in the recording booth until some asshole woke him up, handed a sheet of paper to him and asked him to read the words on the paper.

It's mind-numbingly, soul-crushingly, heart-achingly bad. And a new coat of paint won't change that.

I liked the Observer. It was beautiful and disturbing and really psychedelic by times.

Maybe the fact that it was Rutger Hauer's final work also contributed to the impression.

Bloober Team makes some pretty good art. Maybe someday they will join a studio that makes games.

Well, they are making the-closest-thing-to-silent-hill-we-can-hope-for at this moment.

Blech. I'm already wrapping up my breakables to prepare for the sonic boom of them missing the point.

okay, now we are remaking 3-year old games.

the cycle is going faster and faster, I hope this civilization will eat itself and collapse.

The game already looked amazing. Upgrading the art was the last thing they needed to do. It's still a dull slog. Another layer of makeup and a tighter push-up bra doesn't make someone worth dating.

I tried playing it but the FX were so heavy I couldn't stand it. I've never had a migraine but I imagine that's what it would be like.

Yeah, this game is the first one which "epilepsy seizure warning" should be considered as serious.

Soon there will be a second dev team starting work on a remake when the first one is finishing the main game.

Psychonauts are way better in mind-exploring and also have an actual gameplay.

A remake of Quest for Glory (a.k.a. Hero's Quest) was released in 1992 with improved VGA graphics only three years after the original 1989 release with EGA graphics.

 

[hello friend]

They got in early on the EE craze

Sure thing, but come on, you can't compare the technological gap between EGA and VGA & between 2020 and the old prehistoric stupid 2017.
