Nightdive Studios announced they're doing Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster, reviving the 1997 classic from LucasArts. People were speculating this was coming, since the original on Steam got named to "Classic" before the official announcement claim.

More about it: "Saddle up and ride back into the Wild West with the gunslinging ex-Marshal, James Anderson, and face off against the good, the bad, and the even worse this side of the Mississippi as you work to uncover a twisted plot of greed and corruption. With your trusty six-shooting .45 Revolver, Scoped .44 Rifle, 10-Gauge Shotgun, and good ol' Sawed-Off 12-Gauge Shotgun, you'll be packin' plenty of firepower to take out all manner of outlaw varmints."

From the press release: “Following our release of Star Wars™: Dark Forces Remaster last year, we are overjoyed to continue our relationship and work closely with the amazing team at Lucasfilm Games,” said Stephen Kick, Nightdive’s Studio Head. “The influence of the original Outlaws + Handful of Missions on the FPS genre cannot be overstated, in terms of gameplay and narrative prowess. We’re honored to help bring this iconic Western adventure to modern audiences.”

I hoped for some new levels, but Disney clearly wants these done on the cheap(er than id/Bethesda/Microsoft).

The pattern of showing pre-alpha footage where the game is clearly still in the direct port to KEX phase without any remastering done for the trailers in this and Dark Forces makes me think Disney is rushing them hard with this. I wonder what the turnaround was with DF and how long they have to finish the remaster work here, they didn't even get time to extend some sprites to 16:9 for this trailer.

Nightdive seems to be hard at work trying to empty my wallet. First Heretic + Hexen and now this. . Though to be honest, Heretic + Hexen is more tempting as I played lot more those, with Outlaws I remember playing just the demo.

Where are you, Marshall? You are outnumbered!

Fun game, but original works relatively well anyway?

Soundtrack for the game is an all time classic:

I'm still waiting for that PC port of The Darkness that Stephen Kick once said was "ON THE LIST".

One of the few original LucasArts games I never played; this one never appealed to me.

I hoped for a remake but a remaster is fine i guess.
I loved this game. Hope the remaster will be good. The trailer is not impressive

Yeah, you'd think they could have managed "A Few Missions More".

It feels like a half-hearted port.
But i never liked this game too much anyway. I am team "Redneck Rampage" emoji

Awesome, I used to make multiplayer levels and a single player campaign back when it came out.

I don't think Disney pushes nor rushes anything on this. These types of deals are peanuts and Disney don't care about anything classic no more anyways but rather purposefully ruin all that.

I'm cool with graphics upgrade and such game keeping the same original.
