PO’ed: Definitive Edition Announced by Nightdive Studios – A Retro Marvel Revamped for Modern Gamers
One of the best ways that studios have capitalised on April Fool’s Day in recent years is by announcing a seemingly absurd project that couldn’t possibly have been greenlit for real, only for it to wind up being a wonderful reality.
Retro specialist Nightdive Studios has embraced this delightful tradition, choosing to revive and modernise one of the most absurd and polarising FPS games from the ’90s – PO’ed.
A Blast from the Past, Revamped for a Modern Audience
Arriving later this year, PO’ed: Definitive Edition breathes new life into the classic 1995 title, enhancing visuals, modernising gameplay, and introducing an extra difficulty setting to satisfy veteran players.
The game’s premise is as unusual as ever: players assume the role of a chef stranded on a hostile alien planet, armed with frying pans, knives, and alien weaponry, in a bid to escape and survive. It’s an experience that still captivates fans, making Nightdive’s choice of announcement on April Fool’s Day nothing short of genius.
Exciting Features and Improvements
PO’ed: Definitive Edition comes packed with a plate full of quality-of-life features and bug fixes, improving upon the original game and making it an even smoother and more enjoyable experience. These features can be toggled off if players prefer a more authentic nostalgia trip.
Additional key features of the Definitive Edition include:
– A satisfying widescreen support for immersive gameplay and HUD graphics
– A tantalising new difficulty mode specifically designed for hardcore players
– Unlock 15 delectable achievements as you progress
– Indulge yourself with localization support for English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish
– Experience true freedom as you navigate 25 vivid 3D environments, cruising on foot or soaring with your jetpack
Building on Past Success: Nightdive’s Remastered Offerings
For Nightdive Studios, this latest project follows hot on the heels of their recently released and acclaimed Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster for Nintendo Switch. Our review considers it an ‘absolute must-play for fans of far-away galactic conflict,’ earning a stellar 9/10 rating.
