Despite the original being considered one of the best techno-horror games of all time, up there with the likes of SOMA and BioShock, it's possible that it slipped through the cracks after the hugely celebrated sequel came out a few years later. Nevertheless, many gamers are eager to check out what Nightdive Studios has to offer with this reimagining of a cult classic, and recently a new trailer was exhibited at Gamescom's Future Games Show.

Naturally, there's an immense difference in terms of visuals between this upcoming iteration and the retro source material.
