>The Thing will never get a good video game that captures the terror and paranoia of suspecting everyone around you is a loathsome space horror waiting to devour you

Why is this industry so cruel?

are resident evils transformed monsters inspired by carpenters the thing?
i always thought the dogs and especially the later dogs that split open their heads and shit look like they came straight out of the movie.
also a "The Thing" videogame should just be The Ship.

The prequel was shit but fuck that scene

The prequel was just mediocre. It was fine with that they were given to work with.

I thought it was OK. There are a lot worse reboots out there.

Except it already happened...

TTT sorta does this, no cosmic horror though.

Morbus is also pretty good, and so was Parasite in WC3 when people don't meta too much.

What are some games where you're terrorized by an asshole who constantly pushes your shit in? First thing that comes to mind is the regenerating necromorph from Dead Space.

It was ok.

But that game was horrible, and all the AI turn into monsters at designated points in the game, making the whole system pointless.

I didn't hate it. You could tell they tried their best to make a proper Thing movie, unlike the average cash grab

The OG dude who did this was Nemesis but on replay he isn't really tough. You can down him every time so long as you're conservative with ammo.

That scene is the worst. Christ it freaks me the fuck out.

Trouble in terror town for gmod is kinda like the thing. Everyone looks the same and everyone are innocent except a select few traitors.
Played a shitton of it back in the day before it got infested with OCD children.

Space Station 13 has a Thing gametype. It's called Changeling.

Just go play Space Station 13 if you want that shit.

I think Half Life got the idea for head crabs from that movie, also the hands of the head crab zombies are almost identical to thing-Benning.

Why does that practical effect look worse than ones in the 1980s film

Somebody please shop laughing Chris Evans onto this

Theme and arena was hype as shit. Too bad the boss was a pushover.

Different camera. Very, very different lighting.

Because that's a photo still from production, not the actual movie.

Also, it didn't have a genius like Bottin working on it. It's still good considering what they got.

I second this.

just play dayz or some survival game
the paranoia is there

uh no? I think you're thinking of The Thing the video game. the "head things" act like headcrabs in it.

Have you even seen the movie?

It's fun to piss little kids off in the game mode nowadays. Any time I see a squeaker I'll find him, yell in the mic that I "saw the knife in his pocket" or that hes "acting suspicious" and I'll kill him on site.

That was my favorite scene in the thing. It makes me wonder what would happen if they tried to talk to it. I mean it would've been the prime time to.

>Movie adaptations of video games

Yeah no, I don't watch those.

Low quality bait my friend.

...

>Kurt Russel knew the black guy was the Thing at the end of the movie, could've asked him about the cosmos or other planets
>Instead chose to just freeze to death in silence

Kind of a wasted opportunity

Childs wasn't infected though.

The real heartbreaker was all the physical puppetry and makeup they had made and filmed, only to be binned by execs because "CGI is hip".

Prove it

But it did

Not him but the most common 'evidence' for this is "you can't see his breath in the cold at the end". Except you can, right before the final cut to black.

Alien: Isolation?

just like all the characters in the movie turned into monsters at designated points, making watching the movie pointless.

That's how stupid you sound.

I never even watched the movie and I'm still pissed off.

It doesn't make sense for a person who was human to seconds, tested and proven. To become the thing because you walk into a room, because of plot.

>drinks gasoline from a molotov without complaint
>not infected

Its that coupled with the bit earlier, "Not to share fluids", and he offers him liquor, and he takes it without caring about that rule

Doesn't The Suffering sort of have a Thing-ish type vibe? Not the same concept at all, but similar feelings of dread, unease and hopelessness.

Because they're both gonna die anyway, no point in trying to uphold that rule. No way either of them survived in the cold with no provisions, infected or no.

>gasoline
You know what molotovs are made of right? Weak b8.

prototope

This guy never pushed my shit in though. Sure, he wouldn't let up. But a couple shots from the plasmacutter got him to stop for a bit. I have never gotten hit by any of these regen fags, you just constantly have a normal easy to deal with enemy in the room, that's all.

Metroid Fusion

I didn't write this but it sounds pretty legit actually:

In the end....it doesn't really matter....Childs is The Thing.
Regardless of the dialogue in that scene.
MacReady's scene with the Chess computer was a clear metaphor for the story.
He can't beat the chess computer, because it's impossible. The only way he can beat it, is by destroying it, which he does by giving it a drink of scotch...or pouring scotch on internal wiring to be precise.

And for the rest of the story, MacReady (metaphorically) is in a game of chess with the Thing. It takes out his team like pawns on a table, and constantly engaging in a constant Psychological battle with the creature. And like the Chess Computer, MacReady ends up winning with a drink of scotch. 'Why?'...well, everyone agreed at the time Bennings is ammiliated, not to share food/drinks in fear of contamination. Yet MacReady hands the Bottle of Scotch he's been drinking out of to Childs and he Childs doesn't hesitate to drink it, despite the fact neither one trusts the other. MacReady laughs at this point knowing Childs is the Thing, and yet IT doesn't realise that it's effectively just told Kurt Russell's character it's identity. But he knows he probably wouldn't be able to anything about it, which is why he rests his head, supposedly will try to kill it, after everything he's done, he wouldn't give up and let it kill him.

What is ambiguous about the ending, is what happens next. Does MacReady win, or does The Thing

It's alcohol, retard

The music made this part really made my stomach turn.

They really wanted this part to make you feel uncomfortable, and they nailed it.

Prototype (I assume that's what you meant) is a really good example of a game where you play from the perspective as the Thing.
It's also a great stress reliever.

This can be easily done too. Look at the indie game Murder at Masquerade Manor or whatever it was. If they polished it up, added some random scripted sequences, made better AI, they'd have what you describe.

It doesn't even have to be an actual The Thing game.
Just make a fucking SINGLEPLAYER GAME (NO MULTIPLAYER MEMERY) where you're playing as someone in some sort of crew with a monster or an alien that can take over people.

HOW HARD CAN IT BE?

Nah user there was a DNA testing part in the game. Even if tested and cleared human some AI partners would change regardless at a certain point.

Also no said partners weren't away from you and returned no shady shit just straight up ignoring a game mechanic.

Having said that the game was mediocre but I still enjoyed it.

A movie isn't a video game, you stupid fuck.

Always thought it was funny how you had that friend or sister or whatever, meanwhile you were consuming civilians as if they were nothing.

Doesn't actually prove anything but it's a good interpretation, especially the computer metaphor.

In the comics Childs is revealed to be a thing. In the game which another user posted Childs is revealed to not be a thing. But both of these are secondary canon at best, unless a sequel movie gets made we'll never have an answer.

It was a great game. Played it through many times on the original xbox.

Yes at certain times people always turn, but you don't know that on your first play adding to the stress.

You don't even play as the real Alex Mercer, the virus just imitated his corpse and got amnesia because the brain started to decay after death and it couldn't access all of his memories.
Yet the virus cared more for the dead guy's sister and most of the city (to warrant taking a nuke to the face to save it) more than the real Mercer did. The real Mercer was a genuine sociopath.

Childs was a thing in the video game. Mac killed him.

One of the reasons I hated that game. I was supposed to be some misunderstood hero yet the game made it impossible to move from point A to point B without eviscerating a hundred people.

Weird, I remember finding Childs' body and they confirmed he was just a normal human.

Yea I also remember this.

This is easily debunked, if you think neither man gives a shit anymore because they are dead. It is a zero percent survival situation, and both men know it. One of them could be the thing, but by that point in the movie it hardly matters.

Yea I admit this could very well be true as well

>I enjoy horror movies

Meme's aside people who like horror movies are by default low tier human beings.

I can stomach gore in certain settings but shit like "The Thing" is absolutely disgusting and raises the question "what do people value in these movies?"

What do you gain by watching horrific and painful deaths? What itch does it scratch?

...

Thriller is thrilling, man. The sci-fi horror part is just icing on the cake

it wasn't gasoline, but hes still right. childs was infected, real childs during the movie refuses to drink from the bottle someone else drank out of.

Kill yourself my man

That's your preconceived notion of the game speaking. I personally enjoyed that aspect of the game, being a really strong creature who doesn't care or understand what's wrong some of what he's doing, but strangely still tries to do what he believes is good. I could explain it better.

There's also the fact that he needs to kill people if he wants to accomplish anything.

The acting and writing is the thing was terrible.
>a monster
>no emotion at all

The practical effects though.

You're not doing your fellow horror movies watchers any favors.

Just answer my question, if you even can.

I dunno about that. I think the true measure of any medium is how does it make you feel. If a comedy can make you laugh or if a drama can make you cry.
In your defence, horror is really easy in that regard. bu John Carpenter's The Thing is probably the top tier of horror movies

>dead space will never exist
Oh wait....now if only they hadn't fucked up 3

I don't know, why do you enjoy dick up your butt?

even with the image, you still caught (You)s
good job

TTT is kinda there with people trying to work out who's a traitor among the innocents. I think the addition of detectives has ruined it though.

I'd like to see a version of TTT where the traitors have Thing-like powers but risk exposure using them.

Infection would work the same way as zombie mods. Players who get consumed simply join the Thing team.

I get the thrilling part, i enjoyed Red Eye and What Lies Beneath. I can appreciate the thrilling parts of The Thing, but the gore is not entertaining to watch in the slightest

see They both know and The Thing knows that all of them are about to freeze. Wether Childs is The Thing, MacReady is The Thing or neither of them are; sharing a bottle at this point is of zero consequence.

I think its certainly interesting to look at, and it certainly needs to be there to establish how much of a threat the monster is. David Cronenberg also does that sort of thing really well

Thank you so much for reminding me of this.

I never understood The Thing

The alien killed people and assumed their forms, great, but why were many aliens? Everytime they were killed, where did the other one come from?

kek

Is that a legit comment from John Carpenter? Awesome

8/10, made me reply.

so the thing actually wins in the end, as freezing wont actually kill it since it was already frozen before and remained alive?

Does anyone have the story told from The Thing's perspective? Was an amazing read.

The same gain we get from different genres of movies, games, music, and TV

Every cell of The Thing was an independent creature that could infect other people

If there was just a tiny piece of flesh left over from it, and that piece of flesh crawled away and bit someone, then it could easily transform into that person

>tfw playing a game and the computer is keeps beating me
youtube.com/watch?v=Iv_XaPp-XIY

I don't remember, did the thing enter bodies or did it copy/absorb them?

>sharing a bottle at this point is of zero consequence.
>Childs starts to drink from the bottle
>Tense music starts
>Macready squints a bit
Childs is the thing, but MacReady knows hes a dead man.
