Is it basically a remaster?
How am I tired of devs (or maybe these are actions of the publishers) to release games with exactly the same names.

And I don't even understand why? how can it contribute to better sales if some people may figure that they already have it.

Can you tell me, is it a remaster of the original story, or a complete overhaul with a new story?

Believe me, there is a game in development that will completely captivate you. And no, I don't mean SH2

Can't wait to announce it ;)

From the technical side - the gameplay of both basic parts - has changed, e.g. by adding lantern mechanics plus additional minor changes, such as collectibles. In addition - especially after the upgrade to Unreal Engine 5 - It looks better than LoF 1

Did they change the protag?

Nope. The Writer is a brand new character for the story-chapter Lighthouse. Another new character also appears in LoF - the painter's wife (chapter titled "The Final Note"). Of course, the Painter and the Actor stay in the game

In my opinion no. I will say more, this version of story is "fuller", more intense and more emotional

I wish I never bought the previous 2 + DLC (have both+DLC on PS4, LoF 1 on here) if you were planning on remaking it at some point.

Tired of wasting money on games that just end up getting a remake or remaster and we, the owners of the previous versions, have to buy the same games all over again, just for the bit of differences, changes and such.

I wouldn't mind getting this for free or at a very reduced price. I think "Bioshock" gave owners of the previous versions, the "Bioshock Remastered 1 and 2" for free. Same with Mafia 2. But, I doubt you'll do that.

If you bring this to consoles, I am sure it won't be for the PS4 either.
Well you supported them with those purchases to help them make a better game. And if you are a fan of the franchise then it should be a good thing for you too.

I'll just add that we are preparing something for fans who have previous Layers of Fear games. Stay tuned for details.

i will buy it because i only played the first one, and it was long time ago. in my opinion this is the best horror game. and i will play the second one also then.

Oh really? That's actually pretty nice cause I haven't played the DLC nor the 2nd game

i should replay it, because it looks much different with that new engine, and maybe Bloober places a lot of new Jumpscares in the LoF 1 and 2? You never know :crtcool:

Also a new dlc in the Lof 1 story. i cant wait to buy it

Saw the new trailer and lost all interest, they just have to tick that box and pander like every western games nowadays, the pattern is so obvious. Pretty sure theyre gonna ruin SH Remake too *sigh.
