Pretty cool, but it wasn't really a game that needed a sequel, I think i'd prefer to see the minds who worked on the original do something with a new concept instead of building on a work that I personally feel worked well as its own self-contained piece but that's just my opinion. Also the models don't seem as creepy now that the whole think is High def.
I thought this was supposed to be a reimagining of the original rather than a sequel? At least that's what I've got from Mandalore's video
it's a remake, yeah. not a sequel. they just named it pathologic 2 for some inexplicable reason
Originally it was called Pathologic Redux, but they didn't want people to confuse it for the HD Classic version of the original game that came our a while back. Though why they decided to label it as a sequel is confusing.
It took them more than three years and I STILL haven't finished the original, dangnabbit.
I knew about Redux, why the hell would they change the name of the game to Pathalogic 2? It seems like its intentionally confusing
The original game had the weirdest dialogues ever. It was goddamn hilarious to play it while high. Good times
Fitting for the game itself I guess.
Wouldn't surprise me if it turns out to be both a remake and a sneaky sequel at the same time or something weird like that.
That would go well with the 'behind the scenes' stuff going on in Pathologic. Getting the 'true/secret end' in that game requires really understanding and accepting as fact some of the weirder parts of the game lore and, through that, effectively 'coaxing' the real story of the game/tragedy out from behind the curtain. Maybe the 'true end' of the first game was just the tragedians giving the player the closure and meaning they desperately sought and, annoyed at having been found out, have restructured the whole thing to be more difficult to call out with a larger cast and a more intricate, twisting, tale? It'd fit the vibe at the very least of that ending where the player finally wakes up and stops fighting to save the world around them as they finally understand the real nature of the plague and starts fighting the structure of the play itself with the puppets they've been given. No reason that the structure of the play couldn't fight back by 'putting the player back to sleep' with a comforting tale and then a retelling of the story but with differences it feels will make it even harder to sabotage.
Wasn't it explained at some point that it's being called Pathologic 2 because they felt they were making too many changes that it could no longer really be called a remake?
