So any thoughts on a Pathways Into Darkness remake? I have some fond, fading memories of that game. Seemed way ahead of its time and overshadowed by Marathon. Some great concepts, mechanics and hey-- wouldn't 2012 be a great year for descending to the alien heart of a Mayan pyramid!?

Upgrading a PC is so hard. You have all these updates, and disks, and what not. When it comes to upgrading a Mac, it's easy. You just take your old Mac, throw it away, and go buy a new one!

I'm still waiting for my damn Marathon remake. Bungie, Areospace better be it. Am I gonna have to choke a company?

Personally I'm not into any remakes Pathways, Marathon, or otherwise. In hindsight Pathways may seem overshadowed by Marathon, but I think that in its day Pathways was the game for Mac gamers.

I will agree that Pathways had some great concepts and mechanics. It definitely had a great story. It is certainly original and a bit macabre that the only way to progress though the story is by talking to corpses.

Pathways' primary problem is (and has always been) that is is not really accessible for the masses. Marathon, which is considered difficult to get into by many younger gamers, is a simpler, easier game by comparison.

Not to worry, I'm slowly working on a remake for Windows...

I've actually never played PIT, I've played every other Bungie game, but never got my hands on a copy of PIT. Hope they do remake it so I can play it finally.

Again, as my memories of it are fading, I can't speak in detail but I feel like core gamers would welcome the FPS/item collection a remake might bring-- maybe with a leveling system? I don't remember what kind of leveling there was-- hp/experience maybe? None? Anyway, some successful games today are both macabre and traditionally inaccessible.

If you have a copy of DOOM 3 for PC. Some guy made a remake of the first few levels in the DOOM 3 engine. If you feel like it, shoot him an email concerning adding more levels. If you don't have DOOM 3 you can get it pretty cheap off of Ebay, but if you don't, just Google it, I'm not allowed to post "illegal stuff".
It's called Pathways Redux. Link for DL: http://doom3.filefront.com/file/Pathways_Redux_final;33442
