    Yeah, I don't have much on my wishlist... but it's sitting in the number one spot. :)

    No surprises there :)

    (off-topic question for Damien):
    Completely off-topic and sorry for that, but just noticed you seem to have a Thermaltake PSU too.

    Does your PSU keep making a coil-whiney type sound especially under load?
    Mine does and has been doing so since it was new, wasn't too bothered about it as voltages are stable and whatnot but it's annoying in an otherwise silentish system.

    Hell yeah! My kind of game. I absolutely love original Shadow Warrior, i love Flying Wild Hog's remake. After watching PAX East demo gameplay i'm pretty sure that i will love the sequel too.

    And i still have hope that Hard Reset sequel will happen someday...

    ^ yea that would be great. Will likely get Hard Reset Redux once it's out.
    Have the original already.

    That's just silly. Why would they make a Hard Reset redux when game isnt that old? We want sequel.

    IIRC it contains the DLC, improved graphics and gameplay tweaks etc.
    It evens out some of the difficulty spikes of the original for a more balanced game.

    But yes, would prefer a sequel as well given the choice.

    Not that I've noticed. It's mostly completely silent.

    It's also going to be the first project of their new studio.
    They most likely thought it would be a good way to get the studio up to speed on the updated Road Hog Engine.

    But, they've said there's a definite future for Hard Reset.

    Flying Wild Hog is working on two projects: Shadow Warrior 2 and yet unannounced FPS title (could this be an Hard Reset sequel???). And Hard Reset Redux will be released this year too:

    Yeah, at the end of 2015 they opened "Flying Wild Hog Cracow"
    This opened up the main Poland studio to be able to put more focus directly on Shadow Warrior 2.

    The Cracow studio is said to be the guys working on Redux, and from there will be working on another project.
    I hope it's a sequel. I loved Hard Reset, while it did have a few little issues... it's a great twitch shooter.

    (Ok, thanks, just wondered if it's nominal to Thermaltake.)

    Interesting to see HR:R once it's out.

    Any ETA on SW 2? Steam page says 2016 so pretty vague still.

    At Pax all they would say is that it's coming 2016. But, they were talking up E3 pretty heavy, saying they would have some big announcements at E3.

    So, I could see a release date reveal then.

    Looks like a great game and shares many similarities of the original one!

    Unfortunately, they said in an interview that the new Flying Wild Hog (Cracow) project will be something completely different...

    Btw: Hard Reset Extended Edition is on Steam for €2.02 untill 9th of May!

    So they made a Painkiller, Hard Reset and Shadow Warrior. Redux for HS is coming as well as SW2 now we need a new Painkiller game. :p

    Yes, People Can Fly made Painkiller.

    But, the bulk of the staff of Flying Wild Hog came from People Can Fly. It's why Hard Rest is so similar to Painkiller.

    People Can Fly birthed multiple studios, The Farm51 (NecroVisioN), Flying Wild Hog (Hard Reset, Shadow Warrior) and The Astronauts (Vanishing of Ethan Carter).

    Interesting to know, thanks.
     
  20. I loved Painkiller, Hard Reset, and Shadow Warrior. Shadow Warrior 2 looks like a lot of fun and is even more beautiful thanks to the upgraded Road Hog Engine and the creative minds at Flying Wild Hog. I look forward to playing this one for sure later this year.
