The remake was cancelled, they decided they'd rather make a new game than a remake after Pathologic Classic HD was released.
Their reasoning is that there is no point in remaking a game that's already perfectly fine thanks to the HD re-release so they'd rather make something new.

>>388851363
>Drilling through a persons skull to find a key

Yeah there's the Pathologic I know and love. This looks really promising.

Is the HD version any good? Mostly asking about translation because the original was nigh impossible to follow.

>>388856104
The HD version has a revised and corrected script. its way easier to understand whats going on now.

>>388856373
Nice, I should look into buying/downloading it then.

Hm, if I actually bought the original Pathologic legit should I feel entitled to the HD remake? Nah, I should probably just give Ice-Pick my money anyways.

>>388852245
it *is* the remake, they've long said it wasn't just gonna be a straight remake

>>388855228
? From reading the blog post it seems like they just renamed it to 2 to avoid confusion since there's already like 3 versions of regular Pathologic out there. The remake was always going to be a from-the-ground-up sort of deal.

Anon, you haven't been keeping up with news.
See >>388855228

>>388856524
I think you can upgrade for free/really cheap depending on where you bought the original, like GOG. Or it might have been a limited time thing.

>>388856710
>depending on where you bought the original

I legit bought it in a normal box out of a game store, and I think that was before GOG or Steam were even a thing. Short of taking a photo and sending it to Ice-Pick I don't think I'm gonna get that one free.

Again, I should just give them my money they deserve it. I should mention I also got The Void legit and weirdly enough it had it's special edition (and title) in my country.

What's the difference between original and hd re-release on steam besides
>The HD version has a revised and corrected script
Is revised script English only? Is russian version still the same?

Russian version always had good script.
English was revised since the original was literally Google Translate tier.
They retranslated it properly this time and gave it a full editorial second pass.

B-But can i still play as best boy Daniil?

>>388856924
Shit, I am all kinds of jealous. I have a physical copy of The Void but it's just a regular dvdrom box. You're right though, if anyone deserves a few bucks for video games it's these guys.

>>388856943
Some visual and engine tweaks but nothing particularly showstopping. Revised script is english only as far as I know, the re-release was almost exclusively to fix the english translation.

>>388857271
Since you play as him in the Marble's Nest and all the trailers so far, I would assume so.

"What we referred to as Pathologic is now Pathologic 2 to avoid confusion between the original game, Pathologic Classic HD, The Marble Nest, Mor. Utopia, and so on. It was very confusing when trying to explain to new potential fans. Pathologic 2 is a reimagining of the original game."
Dumb fuckheads

>>388857592
Reimagining, as in completely new shit. It's not a REmake style remake, it's a brand new fucking game that vague resembles the original.
Think like all the modern Hollywood remakes of old movies where the new ones are basically nothing like the original.

>The Void was noted in Russia for its developers' reaction to piracy. When the game appeared on the largest Russian torrents.ru tracker, the developers talked to the downloaders in the thread, answered game related questions and encouraged them to buy the game, if they liked it. Also, the developers made an official torrent containing all bonus material from the gift edition

That's what we're telling you, the remake was always that, right from the moment it was kickstarted.

Here's the box and the contents. As you can see it's called "Tension" which was really weird because it's an English title despite this being a Polish release. I suppose it was just translated before they had plans to release the game worldwide. It's also a more literal translation of the original Russian title. Also sorry for the shitty quality my phone's lens is fucked.

The box contains the game DVD, Soundtrack and the additional booklets are instructions, a small guidebook with general tips and - the weirdest thing - a poem booklet of in-game poems and some unrelated stuff.

It was also published by a book company rather an a game publisher. I just guess someone looked at it, got enamored with it and decided to soup up the edition in hopes of making it more attractive. Not that I mind.

Though I still need to actually BEAT the game.

>>388858670
I'm still actually wondering why they changed the title. I suppose it's a little more understandable than Tension (even if that word is important to the plot) but The Void just sounds so...generic?

I really gotta try this game again. Maybe with that officially-endorsed patch that makes it more manageable.

It looks good, but I'm still stuck at the start of the first one.

Open exploration and time limits don't mix well with me.

It's the same thing they've been working on just rebranded a bit. I don't know if I like the marketing direction Tinybuild is putting forward, feels like Nikolay tried to explain the game to them, they didn't get it, and are now billing it as an "open world survival horror where you find out who killed you father."

I get that it's still gonna be IPL's vision and game in the end, I just hope they aren't pressured by Tinybuild into adding some unnecessary shit to appeal to normies or whatever.

>>388858190

Who knows what goes on in the heads of localization teams. Though "Pathologic" is a great and memorable title so 1 out of 2 isn't too bad.

But yeah, go for it. Save every cycle and every time you go fight a Brother or do something big, hell, just savescum a lot. It might ease some of the Tension but a least you won't get irreparably fucked.

>>388859301
>full VO

God, I nearly forgot. How is the English voiceacting though? The Polish one was surprisingly on-point which happens rarely. And yeah they picked good actors to recite the poems.

>>388859320
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. The two times I've tried to finish it I just ended up fucking myself over with Color management and simply wasting away.

>>388859294
Who is TinyBuild, anyway? They seem like literally whos to me. I'm not sure I'm a huge fan of the alpha build + demos + hands on stuff to the point where by the time it comes out you've already played most of the game, but I'm sure Nikolay won't let them harm his baby.

>tfw got to experience original Pathlogic when it was just released

>>388859185
They give you a loooot of free time on most of the 12 days, even if you wander and explore a bit. I ended up sleeping for half of the day sometimes because I'd already finished everything, especially for the Changeling's route, so don't feel too anxious or pressured about the time limit.

The voice acting itself is great, but I noticed some inconsistencies; in particular, the brothers will have different voices when talking and praying, and sometimes they will default to the same voice for lines that are shared between them.

Yeah, it's not perfect. But then there's scenes like the one in the Adit that make me forget all about the little things.

Got the same impression. Hopefully it'll get a better title and more relevant marketing - otherwise it's likely to catch a crowd that don't click with it and miss out on the ones that would.

Holy shit you're alive.

People who don't want it confused with Game, Game: HD Classic, or Game: Subtitle.

>>388860835
It's completely baffling and confusing decision, so let's make this very clear:
NOTHING WAS CANCELED.

THE REMAKE HAS BEEN RENAMED TO PATHOLOGIC 2, EVEN THOUGH IT ISN'T A REAL SEQUEL.

It's the same bloody thing they had kickstarted and have been working on pretty much since they finished Knock-Knock. New publisher just rebranded the remake for some inexplicable reason.

>>388851363
I want to give Ice Pick Lodge my money and buy Pathologic, as I always wanted to play the game, but never got to it.
Sadly they only offer a Steam version and after the HL3 news of last week I'm done giving that lardass kiekpig judenschwein Gaben my money. May that lard dripping, flatulent maggot Advisor swine choke to death on a subway sandwich.

My question is, will there be a GOG version? If yes, they get all my money. If no, pirating it is then.

>>388861068
That's what I find frustrating, it's not like Dankovsky and Burakh are revisiting the town after saving it/blowing it up, this is the same game just updated and improved. The story's gonna be different they say, but the basic plot points will be the same: Artemy's father is still murdered, and inquisitor still arrives after a week, etc. etc. The 2 seems misleading.

That's my fear as well. The blog post says something like "adapting to new gamedev standards in the industry", but this is IPL we're talking about. They never gave a damn about the "proper" way to make games.

>>388861068
>Pathologic 2
Yeah, that seems really off to me. Not just because it's not supposed to be a sequel, but because that's really not the kind of behaviour I've come to expect from IPL. I guess we have this new publisher to thank for that.

>>388860960
Are you the real Vlad ?

>>388860206
>But if they're providing the funding for the game
Don't you mean the manpower ? The funding comes from kickstarter/their backer page. But I never heard of Tinybuild either.

Anyway, if work at IPL continues as usual, with Dibowsky having the last word in everything, George Lucas style, then everything is well. But if these Tinybuild people are trying to do their own thing...

Play the original, better yet - the HD version, it fixed the English translation that was AWFUL back when it first came out.

The "remake" is generally the same 'setup' for the game but they're pretty much redoing it from the ground-up and that includes plot, game mechanics etc.

>>388861521
I would play the original, but that may as well just be a general video game recommendation since the two games are going to be fairly different. The game is 60-80 hours to fully complete since you have to play through it 3 times from a different characters perspective each time to get the full story.

Who's the Vlad and why do you lick this tripfag ass so much?

>>388859789
I disagree. Compared to both the original Russian and the German localization, the English one is weak. They completely removed the poetic and rhyming aspect of the speech, the voices sound pretty disconnected and like the echo the other two versions have.
It's still an amazing game, but relatively speaking, the English translation loses a lot that both the original and the absolutely god-damn-fucking-mindblowing German version had.

>>388857984
>Was this game ever even relevant in a cultural or market sense?
Not nearly as much as it deserved to be. But it was mostly hurt by the absolutely attrocious original translation.
It was also an MASSIVE hit in Russia alone, and influenced quite a few eastern developers, though most of them did not make it.

>>388857738
Want to hear something even funnier?
You are 100% free not to believe me on this, by the way, because I was dumb enough to lose the proof, but in 2009, I actually wrote them an email asking if I can somehow purchase Pathologic from them, as it actually had no available distribution in my country (or on online distribution sites).

IPL answered me saying that they they are aware of the fuck-up causing the game to be unavailable, which was a publishers fault, and sadly can't really sell me a copy themselves, but that they "fully encourage me to obtain the game through any available means regardless of their conventional or legal status", and that if I enjoy it, I could perhaps consider buying The Void, which had proper distribution already.

So I had an email from the studio openly telling me "just pirate our damn game".
And like a complete moron, I did not screenshot or save it, so when my email provider crashed, I lost it.

>>388861962
I noticed that too, I was real hyped cuz I thought it was coming out soon. It's not like it's unusual for (pseudo) indie games to be pushed back or delayed, though.

>>388861521
People ask this every bloody time, and the answer is always the same:
WE DON'T KNOW. Nobody knows. There is no good answer. We don't know how good the remake is going to be. We don't know how different it's going to be. It's actually entirely possible - I would not put this past IPL - that they'll even pull a fucking Hideki Ano on us and the remake turns out to be a sequel ala Evangelion: Rebuild.
It's also impossible to judge how much will you get sick of the game. If you will be able to stand playing it twice.
It's just impossible to say, right now, if you should play the original, or wait for the remake.
Though the devs DID promise that the remake should be different from the original so much, that it should not feel too familiar even if you had played the original. So there is that. Provided that you trust the developer, of course.

A dude who once set up a project to translate Pathologic back when the original translation was completely busted. He used to appear here every now and then, let us know how the translation is coming, and his threads used to be pretty much the closest to regular IPL discussions we had here. He was generally cool, his intent to translate Pathologic was genuinely admirable, and he never used the trip outside of IPL threads (and I think some old /tg/ threads he used to regularly visit).

The story of his translation project was pretty interesting (and quite a bit tragic in the end), and since the IPL fan community here was small and tightly knit, we kinda learned to like him.

As for your question: my toolkit is on the other PC (not at home now, rarely am), so I will provide you with the answer next time we meet. It has to do with opening up some specific files in folders I can't remember now. Or you can just use notepad and open script. file and try your luck there.

And it is very easy to find me. Just summon me, like you always have done in IPL threads.

Thanks for the heads up, guys. Let's hope they really do release it on GOG. It does make sense, as they already have The Void, Knock-Knock and Classic HD on it.

I'm honestly more hyped for this game than I am for anything else announced at the moment.

>>388864187
I saw someone on Kickstarter suggesting Pathologic: New Strain, or something like that. I would say a sub-title would be better than "2" and there's a lot of medical terms you could work with.

godspeed, vlad

last time i checked i'm 99% sure that i could kind of read main.dat fine in notepad++, it's easy to replace textures and sound files and i'm pretty sure it'd be possible to fuck around with how the game works by editing some code stored in a bunch of .xml files

another guy who worked on another completely different pathologic translation project popped up too so i'll try to get in contact with him as well, i'll try to keep in touch
>>388864735

>>388864423
>Did you forget all those World of Darkness MMO hype threads? I
OK, I did remember something about WoD (I though it was on /tg/ though), but I never visited those threads. I just remember discussing particular terminology and possible translations, and talking through parts of the game that at the time us non-Ruskies could not get because fucking bothered translation.
I still insist that Ospina should have remained being Ospina, and Laska should have remained Laska. I will never get used to these two names getting changed. I do understand why, but FUCK IT, I'm a slav myself and those names sound better to me in the original.

While we have you here... how far were you with the translation project back then? By a rough estimate?

>>388863776
The Void is almost as good as Pathologic.
Knock-Knock is REALLY interesting, and very underrated, but it's a small experiment rather than a full-fledged game. Plus it can be genuinely unpleasant, because to some people, it causes actual fucking anxiety attacks and nightmares.

CARGO! Quest for Gravity is the only game I'd argue isn't worth playing. It's a neat little joke in theory, but awful actual game.
Nearly killed the studio too.

Just installed it, what route to pick?

They promptly posted their own short update on Facebook, saying there is a lot to talk about, and that they'll gradually explain it all through an upcoming series of updates.

I think it's not hard to guess what happened though. The game was posed to be release in the next too or three months. I think it became clear as day that they need about another year, and simply don't have that cash to support it. So TinyBuild stepped in, provided financial support and production, while changing the marketing and public direction. We'll only see how the actual development direction will or won't be affected.

Not possible to count all the characters I've done since I wasn't working in .docx but just in notepad-like makeshift program that was made for me to crack the script wide open.

And some lines would go on for miles and miles of text, which was scrambled all over the place, i.e. I wasn't translating one dialogue at a time, there was just a phrase from one character and the next phrase belonged to another character altogether.

If I had to guess? 30-40%. But it got progressively harder to do it, since I had to recall each dialogue so that I could stay within the boundaries of context.

And yes, most of the names ingame should remain the same. Although I like my "Immortan Mike" I came up with.

Never thought a pathologic update would fill me with such terror.

>we will gather feedback from fans, and adjust the direction of development based on this feedback.
Now, I know that the backers myself included are people that are atleast somewhat invested and interested in pathologic. And good things certainly can come from such feedback. BUT STILL !

TinyBuild are, as far as I can tell, an American Indie game developer and publisher that made the rather funny "No Time To Explain". Since then, they started offering publishing and production support to other Indie studios, publishing like 30 small titles, most of which are relatively unknown, but some of them might sound familiar:
SpeedRunners
Party Hard
ClusterTruck
and Guts and Glory.

They are also - I SHIT YOU NOT - publishing Yandere Simulator.
It seems to be bit of a game development upstarter company, providing financial back-up to all kinds of weird experimental games, with varying degrees of success.

I'm just hoping it's a case of needing to be updated. The original site encouraged the sense of mystery.

There'll need to be a backer portal so the site would need updating anyway.

From the video and screens it looks like they've gone back to the darker ambient lighting of the first Marble Nest release.

I take that guess. So, it was quite a fuckton of work done, already.
I remember we actually discussed Mike's possible renaming once - maybe what, five years ago? and I came up with a bunch fairly sophisticated ideas that you all shot down and told me that the translation needs to be consistent and functional, otherwise it's going to a nightmare to manage. Retroactively, as I since worked on fiction translations a few time, I only then started to fully understood what exactly did you mean.

>>388865842
It's weird when people level the "walk sim" complaint at this game in particular. I mean - know where it comes from, you DO walk a lot.

But you also do a lot other things. Like selling razors to little children to get them to give you the drugs they collected.
Or just killing them.
Or daying, A lot and lots of daying. This game has some pretty siniser way to get you into the dust, really.

It just dawned on me that the Russian letter "P" is the western "R" and rats play a significant part in Pathologic. That is all. The wordplay is exquisite. It's like eating a fancy blue cheese with an excellent port wine.

>>388867197
They were too coy when updating on progress with Knock-knock. I guess they're just getting back into those habits. It's a shame as the updates are enjoyable to read.

>>388866609
Actually mechanically speaking Yandere Sim and Pathologic are weirldy similar game, and if Yandere-dev was not such fucking autist, he could have learned SO MUCH from Pathologic.

A Pathologic-style high-school dating game with mildly supernatural bent turning into a murder simulator would be AMAZING.

It'll be interesting to see what feedback from Marble Nest was implemented.

>>388866258
>We all know the story of Valve playtesters.
And we all know what IPL replied about that, too.

I need to know if they are going to offer ways to buy into the alpha/beta builds later down the line though. Right now, they are shutting all pledges down, which is interesting, and in many ways the OPPOSITE of what a standard EA approach does.

FIXING THE DOORS, FIXING THE UI for inventory, OVERHAULING TRADE SCREEN.

Those were the three most readily evident. Some of them were already implemented. Though I can't say I was 100% happy with the change. Now items automatically pop from one container to another.
In the Marble Nest one, you always had to manually drag them.
Which was annoying. BUT it made moments of looting under stress much more tense. It made looting people feel like a non-trivial, risky business. I'd actually like to see the reconsider it once more.

The NPCs seem to react to the player better than they ever did, so that's a big plus for me. You know, they look at you as you approach, soldiers raise their guns, you can see them doing their own routines in the background and burning the maidens, etc. Cool.

Going along with this it also seems like they're moving away from the "shit happens instantly after the conversation ends and characters literally reappear in different spots" gameplay design.

The thing that I'm not sure about is talking to the plague, though. It worked okayish in the Marble Nest but if it's just going to be more of "booooo, I kill people and you can't fukin' stop me" then maybe the plague should've remained vague. It's scary as fuck in the original because you barely understand anything about it, at least for the majority of the game.

Alright guys, I work at PAX and I just met with a guy from tinybuild/IPL who was here to prepare the booth.
He's been able to confirm some new features and directions the game is taking. I've taken some notes for you :

>we've had lots of complaints about the walking speed, so there will be a sprint button.
>The Town size has been vastly increased since the original pathologic. To help you not getting lost, objective markers can be activated for each quest.
>by popular demand, you can now fast travel to any location on the map.
>this is not fully implemented yet, but there will be a crafting system. Weapons can also be enhanced with powerups you find in the steppe.
>shmowders are hard to come by. And what if you've used them on yourself, only to discover your followers are infected ? To give you the opportunity to gain more shmwoders, you can purchase ingame PLAGUEBOXES™.
>PLAGUEBOXES™ may also contain alternative skins for any playable characters and encountered NPCs.
>PLAGUEBOXES™ must be purchased with the ingame currency STEPPEBUX™, which is realidy available from the storefront.
>we believe that anyone should be able to enjoy our game, regardless of their skill. For this reason, we removed the "game over" situations. You will now be informed when you fail your objectives, but you'll still be able to finish the game.
>he wasn't able to give any details on future DLC, but he confirmed that the game will launch with a season pass.

So what do you think ?

>>388868173
It'll be interesting to see how they handle the lucid dreaming as well. Maybe condensed versions of Marble Nest.

>>388867335
Yeah. I do remember that for reasons that already elude me, I discovered there was a connection between Mark and the color Aramantine, which itself has certain symbolic implications that seemed fully fitting the character.

I can't for the love of god put together what made me think it was really a good idea.

But yeah. Been around, all this time, rarely missed you when you were up. I think I used to have your steam contact to summon you when there was a discussion at some point too. And was offering to as possible proof-reader/second opinion for free, if you were looking for something like that.

Damn, your translation project was a ray of light in that era, I was hopping maybe be useful in some way. What a hilariously naive idea.

>>388868058
It was actually several different statemetns made at different occassoins, in which they said with almost morbid glee that they are simplying some systems, becauase they make the players more comfortable before releasing some far more frustrating shit on them later on.

They said several times that they actually aim to make the game equally, or considerably more hard and frustrating.
They just look for ways to make the frustration less boring.

I am confuse. You put ALMOST enough work into this to make it sound like a geuine satire, designed specifically to only trigger those who don't really know the game. That said, the plague-boxes, they are way too unsubtle and break the illusion.

Otherwise, good stuff. I don't know if were doing this intentionally or not, but:
>so there will be a sprint button.
This is 100% true, and has been confirmed by the devs from start as part of those things that "you'll think they make you life easier, but really they migh make things a lot worse in the end"

>The Town size has been vastly increased since
Also confirmed. Objective markers also were a thing, they appeared on the map routinely and you could even make your own.
>by popular demand, you can now fast travel to any location on the map.
ALSO something that Dibosky actually proposed as an option the player can use. However, it comes with some serious disadvantages to it.
>a crafting system. Weapons can also be enhanced
Both were also promised, though the power-ups were not presented as such.
So down to here, it's funny because it's only causing people who did not follow the porositions up till here to rage

The rest though, the PLAGUEBOXES are so hilariously off-tone and obviously made up that its here where you post becomes less of an inside joke, and more of an annoying shipost.

>>388859620
Noted. Just takes me a while to familiar myself with a map.

Any of you Russian faggots got more info about the project that you're not sharing with us, or is everyone pretty much fucked when it comes to the details until this comes out?

>>388869491
See I can see the ability to sprint being both useful and balanced given that the game has both exhaustion and sickness meters. Running makes you tired a lot faster and can possibly exacerbate the health drain from being infected, but if you NEED that extra speed boost to either run away from death or make it to a house on time it could be worth the penalty.

on the other hand that was clearly a bait post, anon.

>>388868828
>Holy shit, I always knew it was the most casual game ever
It wasn't that casual. You had to A) finish the first quest of the day (otherwise you'd get a Day 1 mindnight game over wet dream. And B), you still had to stay alive for the entirety of the 12 days, whih was not exactly an easy task on it own. In fact, keeping low and avoiding quests meant you would be sorely lacking on supplies they occassionally provide you with.

They are releasing it no consoles, so they needed to find a way to reach a wider audience.

And that was the motivation behind that decision. Right after they announced the console release the amount of news related to the project steadily decreased. I wrote "no" instead of "on" because my keyboard isn't too good. I saw it coming right after that announcement was made.

Should I play The Void in English or Polish assuming I'm fluent in both?

>>388870228
Don't think I've read a Poe story similar to pathologic, though It's similar thematically to the Strugatsky brothers' Definitely Maybe

>>388870473
From what I saw, Polish is more faithful to the original Russian script. English is still good, your choice.

>>388869828
Yeah, the stamina seems to be tied into more deiled resource management. Might increase hunger and exhaustion trates to go up, but also create conditions more favorable for the illness to spread in your body, and affect your combat option.

>on the other hand that was clearly a bait post, anon.
It was more than that. Outside of the plague loots which were totally over the top, the rest was really all collected from things the developers DID propose at some point of the development. We might even see some of them in the game.

I've been meaning to play Pathologic for a while, but I'm kind of a bitch with horror even if I can't stop being interested in it. I can deal with creepines, but jumpscares are just a pain to deal with.

How would you describe Pathologic in terms of jumpscare/atmosphere ratio?

>>388870362
/v/ has a surprisingly short memory it seems. There's a great number of games that decreased in quality after they abandoned their original fanbase and went multiplat. The effect would be doubled for a cult classic that had only a small dedicated fanbase that could tolerate a game that was emotionally draining to play in the truest sense.

Albert Camus' The Plague is set in a city gripped by the Bubonic Plague, centered on a french doctor trying to do his best to save it.

The Bachelor experience is a bit like that, just with weirdness turned up to 11.

There are no jumpscares in this game, nothing even remotely approaching it. The game doesn't aim to scare you. It attempts to pursue a completely different goal.

100% atmosphere. All horror comes from the oppresive feeling this game gives off, especially in confined spaces. It's the type of horror where what scares you is either plain to see or the knowledge of it being there.

On that matter, I really hope I won't have to go to another diseased house, that music still creeps me the fuck out.

>>388870598
Nobody know. Seriously, we can't give you a satisfying answer yet. We can't compare the two. The devs promised that Pathologic 2 will be so different from the original, that even Veterans of the original will feel it like a new game.
But those are only very old words of crazy, drunken Russian.

>>388870473
I'd say Polish or German over English, but it depends on how familiar you are with either.

>>388870228
Very distantly. But yeah, very, very thin common ground could have be found.
Pathologic is a lot more similar to works of authors like Franz Kafka, Jorge Borges, Ray Bradbury, Mikhail Bulgakov, Platonov,, I think. Those are the biggest sources of vibes that I ever got from it. Also mixed a bit more with the generally more fucked-up tone of Planescape Torment lurking behind.

What? Albino's fucking goofy, and you can see him from far away. He certainly didn't invoke any negative feelings, aside from being annoying because sitting next to him depletes your health if I remember correctly.

House of the living though, definitely. Probably the closest the game got to being outright fucking creepy.

>>388870656
>How would you describe Pathologic in terms of jumpscare/atmosphere ratio?
Minimum Jumpscares. I'd say even "zero", though I might have missed something.
It's really creepy on much more indirect and non-obvious levels though.

There is no "walking in the dark then suddenly loud noise and scream" stuff.
But there will be moments when you just walk to something kinda weird at the end of the hallway and the closer to and the better can you see, the more you'll start to worry that the game has not been playing fairly, and that this might have implications that would really, REALLY rather not have to live with.
It's a unique style of horror. As far as I'm concerned, much more powerful. And much easier on the heart.

Albino was easily the most terrifying thing in the game. It was that thing that kinda made me realize that there might be rules and systems I wasn't even aware.

Like around the time you meet him, you are pretty comfortably mastering the game. You get used to the pacing, to the extreme emphasis on dialogues, and on how the game treats it's supernatual very indirectly, usually only as something that is mundane in reality, and people just gave it seemingly magical attributes. Like the Polyhedron - which actaually DOES NOT defy gravity.

And then the little steppe cunt just appears to remind you that all confidence in knowing what the game can and cannot do. That terrified me more than anything else.

No. Pathologic 2 is the remake. There is no actual sequel. Unless they are playing some really dark joke at us (Fuck you, Rebuild!), Pathologic 2 is new name for the remake that was in development since the kickstarter some five years ago.

>>388871648
I think the only "jumpscare" is when you zoom out the map after a certain amount of time has passed and you see the city as the corpse of a cow, given how sudden the transition is

>>388872156
No, it's just a reimagining of the original with an actual engine and budget.
They thought it'd be confusing to name it Pathologic since that'll confuse it with their older versions.
Also please read the thread if you have any further questions so that it won't clog up the thread.

>>388872224
Not him, but as far as I remember, when playing as bachelor, you get the blueprints for the polyhedron from the Stamatins, and it turns out that it's actually a giant spring driven deep into the earth, and the part you see above the ground is just the tip of it. And it also caused the plague to seep from underground, but that's another matter.

>>388872163
Leave my steppe-waifu alone.

>>388872224
The Architects and the builders and even one of the Kains confirmed that the whole structure is kept up through a spiral that has it's bigger portion burried deep into the soil, and that just carries the weight of the scturure. You can't see it, because she runs through the stairays. Rest of the structure is just really very low.
So the trick was just using a strong enough material, and digging foundations to be deep enough.

Digging very, very deep into the soil under the city MIGHT not have been the brightest idea ever, in retrospect.

Isn't that just the sciencey-types' way of explaining what can't really be properly explained? If I recall, all three characters have their own ways of explaining how the Polyhedron exists and why the plague began, and none of them are particularly more right than the others.

Plus then you gotta explain all those stairways to heaven in town.

The walkway itself is an integral part of the structure and is attached to the underground spear.

I worry a little about the marketing approach but I'm not even remotely concerned about the game itself. These are the people who made a game in which FUN is a commodity that only retarded midget babies use.

I always find it hard to use the gun in this game, not shooting wise, economic wise I mean.

>Isn't that just the sciencey-types' way of explaining what can't really be properly explained?
Well, that is a very valid interpretation, but it's one that exists along-side the more mysterious interpretation. The player generally chosing which one of them sounds more appropriate to him is part of the deal.
That said, it is important, because the plague was unearted when they were burrying the lower half of spiral

All of these things actually exist to invoke both magical, and rational explanations at the same time, and give the player the tension of being trapped between them.

The staircases are actually exactly the same ting :they are literally just scaled-down models of this structure. Their main purpose is to give the player a certain degree of material that should make him conclude that the polyhedron is mechanically sound.

Back then they were kinda decent.
I miss that retard Vitalik and his anal mods.
I miss insane shitposting in old 0ch vg.
Here the peak of shitposting is Wojak/Pepe spam or falseflaging as sjw/pol, this is fucking garbage.
I miss my SOSNOOLEY, Chapiku, utyatnica-pekach, etc.

1:53 am here and i'm having severe nostalgia vibes, sitting here, reading Lurka, remembering old times. Man, it's been almost TEN FUCKING YEARS. Everything is changed. Old /b/, the raids, doxing, so much fun.
Most of the people moved on, but i still stuck in this digital hell, now instead ruboards i spend all my free time here. And even this site is shit now, thanks to GG and 2016 election.

Now even runet became way too big and thanks to that shitskin abu 2ch became mainstream now.
You can't have comfy threads anymore. Insane amount of edgy underage uneducated dipshits, they shitpost everywhere. They don't respect old board culture.
You know that user base of the image board is shit when most of the people don't speak english. It's a basic shit, every one who goes to school knows basic english unless you are complete bydlo.
I miss old times.

The point is to resolve as many of the individual mysteries the game provides you through that "think map" as you can before the daylight is gone. During the evening, the district will turn to shit, and (as many characters will have been repeatedly telling you by that point), you are supposed to meet with the Plague where it all started: that is, in your house. That is where you'll get a conclusion. That said, it can still result in one of I think four different endings from there on, based on what you did, or did not, and also on what you said.

I love all of the fan art that the bachelor has, it shows how much of an asshole loner genius he is and it's great.

>Definitely Maybe
Other than the theme of people being controlled by a mysterious authority that may or may not exist, they're not that similar.
Still a good book, though.

Have you played Pathologic.
I seriously believe that more recognition and younger player base could benefit the game to a degree. But it's not going to become some crazy shell of a franchise. It's a gruesome game. Nobody and nothing can take that away from it.

The e-celeb garbage sounds possible because "oh it's a budget horror game oooo!"
But all that other stuff isn't since we're talking about a russian studio who seem to be more about art instead of fame and money.

Neat. Speaking of Ice Pick I should probably give The Void another shot.

I always want to play Pathologic but the game give me very strange vibe that just creep me out.

Yeah, twitch potential definitely is there, it's something that IPL even acknowledged back before the kickstarter. I don't think it has a particularly BIG lasting appeal though, given the pace and the story and dialogue-heavy focus.

Prepare for confusion. It'll be a memorable haze though.
