Sin Gets A Gold Steam Update And Upcoming Remaster

<p>Sin is one of those 90&&num;8217&semi;s FPS&&num;8217&semi;s that sadly got kind of overshadowed when it came out in 1998&period; It had the misfortune of coming out around the same time as an FPS called <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;bagogames&period;com&sol;black-mesa-1-0-review-reimagining-a-masterpiece&sol;">Half-Life<&sol;a>&period; And while Half-Life eventually became the more popular shooter&comma; Sin has amassed quite the cult following over the years&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The original game follows the exploits of Colonel John R&period; Blade of HardCorps&comma; a freelance police force in the city of Freeport&period; Taking place in a fictional 2037&comma; John is sent in to capture a crimelord who robbed Freeport City Bank&period; He soon finds out that more is going on in the city&&num;8217&semi;s seedy underbelly than he could ever imagine&period; A lot of it involving the brilliant and beautiful biotech scientist Elexis Sinclaire&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>A full sequel was planned for the game&comma; called <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;store&period;steampowered&period;com&sol;app&sol;1300&sol;SiN&lowbar;Episodes&lowbar;Emergence&sol;" target&equals;"&lowbar;blank" rel&equals;"noopener noreferrer">Sin&colon; Episodes<&sol;a>&period; Much like Half-Life 2&&num;8217&semi;s episodes&comma; it was planned as an episodic release&period; Though only a single episode&comma; &&num;8220&semi;Emergence&&num;8221&semi;&comma; was ever released before the series developer Ritual Entertainment was bought out&comma; putting a permanent end to the franchise&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><amp-youtube layout&equals;"responsive" width&equals;"500" height&equals;"281" data-videoid&equals;"-HypfGnauSg" title&equals;"SiN&colon;

as a bonus to those who bought Sin Episodes&comma; this Steam release has left a lot to be desired&period; And this is what Nightdive Studios has remedied with their release of Sin Gold&comma; which replaces the original Steam release of the game&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The Sin Gold update adds the Wages Of Sin expansion&comma; which was previously missing from the Steam release&period; Modernized Steam Master Server support has also been added&period; A game editor has also been restored&period; And most importantly&comma; the game now supports proper 16&colon;9 widescreen resolutions&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>And this is just the tip of the iceberg of fixes to the original Steam release&comma; which now runs better than it ever has&period; A ton of original assets have been restored or uncensored&period; And the game&&num;8217&semi;s maximum framerate has been limited to keep the game from running too fast on modern systems&comma; an issue that previously plagued the game on modern PC&&num;8217&semi;s&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;"alignnone size-large wp-image-155484" src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;cdn&period;bagogames&period;com&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2020&sol;03&sol;19114918&sol;sin-gold-screenshot-1-1024x576&period;jpg" alt&equals;"Sin Gold Screenshot 1" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3 style&equals;"text-align&colon;

Nightdive has already done a lot of great work with their remasters of Forsaken&comma; Blood and Turok 2&comma; so this is definitely something to look forward to&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>And this is not all&comma; Nightdive are also working on a remaster of the game Shadowman&period; This coupled with the upcoming Blade Runner remaster and System Shock remaster means we have a lot of good stuff coming from Nightdive in the near future&period; It&&num;8217&semi;s a good time to be an oldschool gamer for sure&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Sin Gold is currently available on <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;store&period;steampowered&period;com&sol;app&sol;1313&sol;SiN&lowbar;Gold&sol;" target&equals;"&lowbar;blank" rel&equals;"noopener noreferrer">Steam<&sol;a>&comma;
