Hard Reset from Flying Wild Hog, that received an honorable mention for IGR’s Best Indie Games of 2011, has received a substantial updated and will be released, appropriately enough as Hard Reset: Extended Edition.
The game drops players into a rich cyberpunk world where cybernetic hordes of enemies must be destroyed with a variety of high-tech weaponry.
Features of Hard Reset: Extended Edition include –
- A fast-paced, “old school” styled FPS
- Experience-based weapons upgrade system
- Five new levels (adding approximate two hours of gameplay to the original game)
- Four new enemies, one new boss character
- Updated graphics engine
- Additional gameplay elements
- New back-story
- Two new levels for survival mode
In the only remaining human city of Bezoar, Major Fletcher, an Army Combat Veteran, is dragged into a conflict between two of mankind’s greatest enemies. He is to discover that nothing is what it seems to be. Hard Reset: Extended Edition is an action-packed, single-player shooter for Windows PC. With over-the-top destruction, loads of enemies, incredible weapon variety and a beautifully realized cyberpunk setting, Hard Reset: Extended Edition takes classic FPS gaming and cranks it up to all new levels.

Hmm, I wonder if this will be released as an update for existing owners of the game or will it be sold as an entirely new game? It sounds like the latter.
I’m nowhere near finishing the (supposedly short) original game (stuck on level 2, yes I suck) so the extra 2 hours gaming won’t matter to me.
I am so happy I did not end up buying this in one of the nice steam sales now.
Any news if the new levels are an extension of the story or just more filler in-between in the original Hard Reset?
