hell yeah the rumors is true. Well it LOOKS solid, but i don’t know how much actual info there was to glean out of that video. This is coming from a different studio than the people that brought you THPS 1+2, so it remains to be seen if Iron Galaxy can pull off the same kind of loving remake that Vicarious Visions gave us in 1+2. I think Iron Galaxy was responsible for the Killer Instinct reboot, so we know they have some cred on bringing old games back to life.
Iron Galaxy had some misses in the past, most notably probably the PC port for Arkham Knight. More recently, Last Of Us Part 1 on PC, which had some bad performance at launch, I think. They did the PC port for THPS1+2 though, and I don’t remember hearing some big complaints, but I also haven’t paid too much attention.
Ooooh I really hope we get the underground games at some point. I really liked those. I’ve never played the first 4 games. I should probably do that
THUG 2 will be a tough challenge to remaster. It has a very early-2000s vibe and heavily features Bam Margera.
Woot, that might be fun.

Though I still play THPS3 on Linux now via CDROM.
I know most people want this for 3 (don’t blame you at all), but I actually really enjoyed 4 when I played it on Gamecube as a kid. The missions were silly and fun, and the NPCs and voice acting were over-the-top in often hilarious ways. I wonder if they’ve nerfed the Snake Run Slalom at all, I remember it being crazy hard.
Time to ask the burning question though… When are we getting a remake of THUG 1 + 2?
