So is The Thing: Remastered canon? Basically, yes. John Carpenter has had positive things to say about the game (via Sci-Fy) and actually has a cameo in the game. Одна из проблем, которую я делаю с каноном, заключается в том, что он разрешает тайну того, кто пережил оригинальный фильм, но не позволяйте этому не дать вам наслаждаться игрой. The creature's behaviour seems off, but there's a potential in-game explanation for that.

Do You Need to Have Watched John Carpenter's The Thing to Play The Thing: Remastered?

I'm going to get into spoiler territory here, but if you're wondering if you need to have watched The Thing to play The Thing: Remastered , the answer is no. But you'll get much, much more out of it if you have watched the movie. I'd seriously recommend you watch the film since it's fantastic; the special effects are amazing, yes, but what really makes it a joy to watch is the growing paranoia between the station's occupants.

So if you're not planning on watching the original film first, and are ready for some spoilers, I'll bring you up to speed on what you need to know about The Thing .

The Thing is an organism that crashes to Earth in a flying saucer, and crawls out and freezes, where it's found by a Norwegian dig team. The Thing can absorb, imitate and infect other lifeforms, turning them into more Things. Even a single cell from the organism can turn a creature, humans included, into Things. It can also mutate into horrifying forms when discovered, but in the movies it tries to remain hidden.
