So naturally I would remap that configuration onto the Xbox 360 controller. However, the game automatically forces you to use the thumbsticks (LST for movement RST for aim), which is completely reversed for me. Now I understand it will not bother 99% of the players here and that's fine, I, too, use this configuration myself in other games, but for a remastered version, this is pathetic.Better off getting Overload. At least that game allows Full Controller Support.Oh, and the Steam overlay (Shift+Tab) does not work for me for some reason.. This game is a ♥♥♥♥ing classic, this 6DOF plays like decent if the enemies had unreal tournement AI's would highly recomend for people who like hardass games or just like retro FPS games.. Every bit as awesome as you remember.. This game is a ♥♥♥♥ing classic, this 6DOF plays like decent if the enemies had unreal tournement AI's would highly recomend for people who like hardass games or just like retro FPS games.. These are first impressions. Upon completing the game this will be updated accordingly.)Yeeeesssss! If there is one genre I'd love to have seen a comeback for it's the 6DOF FPS pioneered and perfected by Descent. It seems with the release of Overload it is doing 6DOF justice but Forsaken Remastered was a complete surprise. A very, very welcome surprise.In case you are not familiar, Forsaken is a Descent clone. It does not really do a lot new with the formula, it's just straight up Descent. And it's goooood. Not only is it well-made and fun, but also became known around its release (1998) for sporting some of the best graphics in an FPS to date, and the 3DFX support is legendarily well-optimized, able to kick out respectable framerates on a CPU that is closer to a 486 than a Pentium. Take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yGAttirh1c Twenty years after it's initial release, Remastered rebuilds the game from the ground up using the Kex engine that was also used for Night Dive's ports of Turok 1 and 2.The results are fantastic. This is the same Forsaken, but with better controls and you can turn up the FOV. My sweet spot is 110-120. I can turn it to 120 (the maximum). That is sweet as hell. There is also new content weaved into the original campaign in the form of ports of levels from the N64 version, which had different levels than the ones in the PC version.As for the actual game itself, if you liked Descent you'll like this as I said before. But it does have one thing making it unique: the ship physics. Piloting feels less like you are just moving around a level and more like you are gliding around obstacles, similar to the feel of piloting in Wipeout. And it feels pretty fantastic with Keyboard and Mouse controls, just be sure to turn the mouse sensitivity up. The level design is also more creative, featuring more varied places like banks and power stations rather than the tired mining facilities of Descent 1 and 2. The combat is fast paced and brutal with a variety of satisfying weapons. It is all backed up to a breakbeat soundtrack that can vary from generic to badass.Highly recommended.. It's Foresaken just polished, what more do you want?. OMG, this is an amazing game. Flashback from my college days when me and my friends spent HOURS playing this. NOW IT IS BETTER. Plays at 144HZ super smooth. Controls are spot on. I mean the graphics are dated but you will not notice it to much. Super fun to play. Very easy to play but a challenge to master this puppy. I played with a controller, originally; BUT with the mouse and keyboard this game really shines! Posses a definite challenge. If you played this back in the 90's, you will LOVE this remastered edition. Super amazing experience before, so much better now. The memories i was flooded with were worth the money alone. Thank you for making this experience better and allowing me to relive some of my childhood!! KUDOSNostalgic lvl 1000. Thank you NIghtdive. It's a fantastic remaster. An old game with more action in a few hundred megabytes than most AAA games pushing 40+ gigs. Controls are excellent and the graphics are more than acceptable for its age. I was very surprised and pleased at how crisp the controls were. Mouse is a bit like cheating...time to pull out the hotas setup and get the real feel this game can offer.. Pretty good stuff! In lieu of a proper source port for Descent 3, this is a fair stand-in from the same era. Some of the puzzles in single-player are pretty obtuse, but the action is constant and challenging. Multiplayer appears to be listenservers only, which implies a *ton* of host advantage unless you're down the block or in the same room. I've never played Forsaken before now, but I come from a *lot* of playtime in other games from the genre -- namely Descent and its spiritual successor Overload. Solid port, no untoward issues in at least the front 1/3 of the campaign, multiplayer is sparse but simple. Support your local 6DoFs!. Good game! Now that they are finnished this one maybe they can get back to turok 3 :D
