Siliconera has discovered that Night Dive Studios, a company that republishes PC classics like System Shock 2, has filed trademarks for No One Lives Forever, The Operative, Contract J.A.C.K. and A Spy in H.A.R.M.’s Way, all of which are game titles connected to the franchise.

It’s worth pointing out that these are trademarks. Copyrights are rights for the source work, whereas trademarks are for certain terms and phrases associated with the source work. However, it doesn’t make sense that Night Life would be able to file these trademarks without the rights themselves transferring to the company as well.

Night Dive are the people who helped bring games like System Shock 2 and I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream to digital distribution. The rights for the NOLF games have been in limbo for quite awhile, but this trademark application suggests that Night Dive just might be aiming to bring NOLF to Steam and GOG next.

I fucking love NOLF and NOLF2. I've been clamoring for another for many years. Hopefully if these are successful another one is done.. can't imagine this publisher could make that happen though if they're just a re-release specialist essentially.

 

[JB2448]

In Night Dive we trust. Seriously, this company keeps impressing me. I can't wait!

 

[JawesomeJaw]

When they announced System Shock 2 I had to dash all my hopes that this might be possible next. Need this.

Funny I replayed the first NOLF a few weeks ago, it didn't age well on the Art side but my god is the gameplay still a lot of fun and those dialogs are hilarious!

Would love to see a proper sequel.

 

[Silky]

YO AAAAAAAA

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

That's fucking awesome.

[Almighty]

I would be all over the No One Lives Forever and its sequel. I remember having a blast with those games.

 

[casnix]

Oh hell yes! NOLF <3

 

[Mesoian]

I'd rebuy NOLF2 on steam.

Let's make it happen.

 

[Dominic_Shade]

Will pay full price for a DRM-free NOLF1&2 without hesitation.

 

[SmithnCo]

The day has come

 

[Nabs]

Oh shhhh

 

[Grief.exe]

Give us achievements and trading cards while you are on the Steam version Night Dive

 

[Auto-Reply]

I've never played NOLF2, i need this!!

 

[fantomena]

I'll buy it for full price on both Steam and GOG easily.

 

[pelican]

I miss Monolith

I still dream of a NOLF3.

 

[PandaPedinte]

I can finally play these games and understand all the praise it receives.

 

[pje122]

Miss you, Cate. The only female protagonist the world ever needs...

 

[Tizoc]

Will pay full price for a DRM-free NOLF1&2 without hesitation.

They released games on gog.com too.

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

Great series!

However, I wonder if this will be as good as the old games.

Plus, the 60's nostalgia of the late 90's/early 2000's has kind of passed over.

 

[Madrugador]

Put them on Steam and I'll get them.

 

[Chance Hale]

Somehow managed to never touch the series, exciting!

 

[Corpekata]

Man Night Dive are goddamn miracle workers.

 

[mreddie]

Rerelease and a new game soon?

 

[213372bu]

I literally was wondering when I would be able to play NOLF yesterday.

Spoiler

THANK YOU BASEDGOD FOR LISTENING TO ME IN TIMES OF DOUBT.

 

[Sober]

Do it based Night Dive! I would pay full price for NOLF1&2. Might have to wait for a sale for Contract JACK though.

 

[Mr.Monitor]

Holy shit yesssss

 

[Aaron D.]

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Tecl0n]

[AkuMifune]

[Corpekata]

These are the old games.

 

[rashbeep]

OMG I hope something comes of this. Lost my copy of NOLF a while ago. The MP in that was the shit.

 

[Jb]

Holy fucking shit yes.

 

[sn00zer]

Never played these....are they similar to Timesplitters?

 

[Mannequin]

Have both of these on disc, but it'd be awesome if they got a Steam release, every FPS fan deserves to play them.

 

[firehawk12]

HOLY SHIIIIIT

 

[Alcoholikaust]

oh my god yes and no the games are absolutely nothing like TimeSplitters

 

[TheExhaustedWalrus]

there is a god

 

[BennyBlanco]

Always wanted to try these.

 

[Deleted member 102362]

Now I can play these games instead of reading about them!

 

[PairOfFilthySocks]

Windows 8 shits the bed pretty hard when trying to run this one, so a functioning updated version would be awesome.

 

[V_Ben]

Wow. Those crazy sons of bitches actually found out who the hell owns it.
