![]() For now, here's a trailer for the Redux and hey, the original Hard Reset is on sale for £1.99 on Steam right now. Hard Reset Redux is "coming soon", so presumably we'll find out more even sooner. That's fine! I couldn't tell you if there'll be a discount for folks who own the original (I wouldn't expect it to be free), as details are pretty thin for now. That sounds relatively minor for a re-release but hey, I think this is mostly to take Hard Reset to PlayStation 4 and Xbone then we're getting the changes on the side. The original Hard Reset was released on PC in September of 2011, which was a transitional period in the world of first person shooters.Simply put, there just wasnt a lot of room for something so inspired by the old-school in a year that saw games like F3AR, Homefront, and RAGE coming out. The Redux is "reenergized for modern audiences with an upgraded visual engine and rebalanced gameplay, along with new enemies and weaponry (cyber-katana!)", according to publishers Gambitious. But Flying Wild Hog's first Shadow Warrior was pretty fun and SW2 looks full-on fab, so I'd be curious to see what they'd change when revisiting HR. Our John was not one of them, and I must confess what I played in the demo didn't tickle my fancy either. They attack from all fronts and simultaneou sly with missiles, shrapnel, electric beams, blades and whatever it is that allows them to annihilate you. It does not matter in order to avoid the wild attacks of that horde of killer robots that will not give you a second of truce. It doesn't sound massively different, with fancied-up graphics and new enemies and a sword and things, but hey, I know Hard Reset found a fair few fans. You run, you shoot and now you also dodge Forward, sideways or even backwards. Hard Reset Redux is coming, a revamp of the throwback FPS they released in 2011. Now they're also returning to their own older work. Shadow Warrior 2 looks pretty dang swish, doesn't it? I've been pretty surprised by, and pleased with, how nicely Polish studio Flying Wild Hog's revive-o-rebooting of 3D Realms' vintage FPS has gone well.
