yesterday Blade Runner: Advanced EditionThis is the remastered version of the Westwood Studios adventure, but it literally ate up the other restored version of the game. ScummVMavailable for years GOG.
In what sense is it eaten? Before the Enhanced Edition, a version of Blade Runner edited by a group of enthusiasts was available on GOG, making the game available through ScummVM, a program that has been active since 1997 and is for the recovery and preservation of old graphic adventures. society. Now you must purchase the version to access this version. Night Diving Studiosat least on PC it’s even lower than many (on consoles the problem is almost non-existent since the game isn’t really there).
Madmoose, aka Thomas Fach-Pedersen, who was part of the ScummVM team, expressed all his disappointment. madmoose said that making the GOG version of Blade Runner required a lot of reverse engineering from the team, which gave them … zeros. GOG gave him practically nothing.
mad: “Now Nightdive Studios has released its ‘Advanced’ version which in retrospect is ugly and full of bugs and offers no tangible benefits compared to ScummVM apart from very poor console support. They even forgot to give me credit for the subtitles I let them use. Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to purchase and play a digital copy of Blade Runner on ScummVM without paying Nightdive Studios. It saddens me to see GOG refer our free work as just a supplement to someone else’s mediocre product.“
We actually got to try the Enhanced Edition, and to say it was disappointing would be an understatement. But we will talk again during the review phase.
