Is it worth buying this version now with Reloaded around the corner?

[Tatsuya Hiroki]

Or would it make more sense to wait for that to be released?

SiN Gold and SiN Reloaded are definitely worth buying.

It will probably be "the same game".. but it won't be "the same experience" cause of the new engine, modern high def resolutions, textures, new models etc..

There's a possibility that they'll throw this version in for free with Reloaded but I expect Reloaded will cost a lot more.

PS, I'm happy that I bought this version, it plays well enough. I've wishlisted Reloaded, being a cheapskate I'll wait for that to be on deep discount.

There's no info on SIN Reloaded at all, it's certainly not around the corner so you might as well.

You also get to appreciate the differences between the versions if you play the originals first.

necroing the thread just to say... Sin reloaded still has no release date.

Development has been slowed due to some technical issue but its still on track.

Reloaded is off the release schedule until they finish the conversion of the original maps. The customized id-tech engine and game maps environments have caused problems with converting the game assets due to the lighting dynamics, which can't simply be converted to work with the new engine.

Vaporware, nothing more. Move along.

Its Nightdive which means while it will be good - around the corner isn't a statement anyone should be using. Just play this.

Having beat gold and wages there's more I'm hoping is done with sin reloaded besides just the usual stuff (achs, resolutions etc). The game was a lot of fun, but its also wonky as hell and full of bugs and gameplay they really didn't think out. Some of the levels are pretty terrible while others are a whole lot of fun. And gold expects some impossible stuff from the player. I had to use console cheats to beat it cause the sniper damage in the first one, and the ridiculous stealth segments in wages. Also didn't particularly like hunting for computer passcodes. Also lot of great weapons that should have more customization options so we don't get just one cool weapon in one odd cool level.

I had a lot of fun with sin, buy sin gold if you just wanna beat it and wages, but don't expect many bells and whistles. Its the original buggy game. Sin is a shooter that I thought was a cops and robbers quake engine game and didn't think much of it. But when I actually started playing it and trying to beat it the game grew on me. But the first 2 levels do not do this game much justice. The banks ok, but then the horrible 2nd level with a bunch of fire escape platforming... Yea its bad., but the farther along the game gets, it actually gets a lot better.

Wages was a better game tho, not as many levels, but the levels were a bit more fun and more well thought out to me. Especially ones like the casino, or the art exhibit. Better weapons in wages also. But this is why I hope we get a different kind of structure for reloaded. One with customization options, fixed bugs, level select, with possible optional missions and difficulty a lot like goldeneye.. And a lot more. The game needs a lot of work but its an awesome shooter full of potential.

Also the only ND remaster I'm looking forward to atm. Dark forces well I have that on steam and it really is a boring old shooter not sure why they wanted that one.

My friend Dark Forces is everything but boring... it's the birth of Kyle Katarn saga and a whole legacy with it. Having said that... I didn't know this game (Sin) existed at all it flew under my radar at that time. Just bought Sin Gold and to my surprise there's a remaster in the works!

I'm super excited for Dark Forces and with that I hope the whole saga gets a proper remaster!
