Modern Horror Classics

[BioMechanic]

I actually had this idea for a sequel...

....which is bad-ass, man.

Another nice touch would be if the Things could not only copy animals, but ANY lifeform. We could have infected monster trees and grass and shit.

That's a pretty awesome image. Humanity would be wiped out so fast. How long was Blair's estimate for the Thing to completely assimilate the world's population - 75,000 hours, wasn't it? That's just over eight years, so the sequel could take place during the last couple, maybe.

Anyways, you guys should check out this horror film Isolation. I made a thread about it a couple months back. Nothing spectacular, just nice old-school creature horror.

Joe, that sounds familiar, but I can't place it.

That actually sounds really cool Dole. I think the game had a pretty cool take on how a sequel should be handled too. For some reason I never beat that game. I'm not sure why and now I have to dig it out of my pile of shame and get cracking.

The last boss fight is very cool, and the ending has a nice little suprise.

It really is the best movie-based game I've ever played. The atmosphere was perfect and the Trust System really added a lot to the game as well. The blood testing was a little wonky in the sense that a person could test negative for being a Thing but then a scripted event would occur 5 minutes later that requires the guy you just tested to be revealed as a Thing, but whatever. It was still cool.

That's a pretty awesome image.

That aspect was actually inspired by a weird dream I had one night. A couple was walking along, underneath one of the aforementioned monster trees. A twisted tentacle suddenly dropped down. At the end of the tentacle was a fleshy pod with a tooth-filled maw surrounded by smaller tentacles. It enveloped the man's head and bit it clean off, while the chick freaked. Woah.
