>Night Dive Studios turns to crowdfunding for anticipated remake. >A much requested remaster of System Shock is currently in development, and based on some early gameplay footage the Unity-powered revamp is coming along very nicely. It's likely we'll have to wait a while to play it though, because Night Dive Studios has announced that it intends to launch a Kickstarter campaign next month. >In addition to looking much more fancy, the remake will stay very true to the original – though the user-interface will receive some much needed spit and polish.
Funny, I thought NDS has a shitton of money, that's why they do all this
Leo Flores
Shotton of money from where, selling slightly updated versions of old games that barely anyone buy
Jaxon Torres
He could've had money before that
Jonathan Morgan
this
where the fuck would they even get money from?
Adam Robinson
>Shotton of money from where, selling slightly updated versions of old games that barely anyone buy You're right, it was only a cult classic where just the disc sold for $60+ because the IP was in limbo. Nobody would buy that old game.
Anthony Parker
Collector's items are always more desired
James Allen
They weren't collectors items, they were bare discs.
Samuel Thomas
Zombies looks like literal shit
Nathan Nguyen
> mild improvement No
Zachary Gonzalez
didn't this already come out on steam last year?
Angel Price
Which is basically a collector's item now since they are rare unlike a digital game
Noah Martinez
It was a port of original for new systems with slight fixes. This one is full remake
Colton Bailey
>that graphics engine Please don't.
Samuel Campbell
This was before the digital release. People paid that much for a game that old because it was the only legal way to play it. The demand really was that high.
Aiden Wilson
Looks fine
Jack Stewart
>remaster don't give a shit >remake that actually allows you to do whatever build you like without getting fucked over, a less ridiculous weapon degrading system and redoing the entire Rickenbacker mite b cool
Jaxson Hall
This is a remake of SS1. It never had weapon degradation in the first place.
Nicholas King
>Unity-powered DROPPED
Landon Gomez
Oh shit I'm retarded. This could be decent then.
Mason Nguyen
>it's "Unity is bad" meme again
Adam Fisher
>When you "accidentally" destroy Earth with laser
Colton Lee
Did you do this with Ori, too?
Henry Wilson
>it's a "requires modern high-end requirements for decade old visuals" engine
Brayden Harris

Casualized? Casualized.
Dylan Cox
Dev's fault, not engine's.
Leo Collins
YES
Mason James
Nope just better
Nathaniel Cook
>>Nope just better
That's what Ken Lecuck thought when he made Bioshit
Logan Reed
I hope we get timer on hardest difficulty like in orginal.
Hunter Davis
Of course not
Joshua Nelson
>Honestly unironically thinking a shit UI makes a game "More hardcorez!"
Not to mention most everything you do can be done with key commands and you can almost forget about the shitty UI
Kayden Rogers
Bioshock was good tho until Infinite destroyed everything
Jackson Ramirez
I don't give a fuck about the remake. I'm more interested in the Warren Spector directed SS3
Anthony Lee
I gotta say they've done a pretty good job with the interiors. The visuals were pretty out there so I always wondered how they would transition it into full 3d but it looks pretty nice
Hunter Anderson
>>Honestly unironically thinking a shit UI makes a game "More hardcorez!"
A Bioshit fan would think the System Shock 2 UI is bad, when it's the least cumbersome and best made UI's I've ever used in an FPS RPG.
Spare me your excuses.
Lincoln Rodriguez
I hope SHODAN maintains the SS1 look, it was way creepier and fitting.
Elijah Gray
What does SS2 have to do with this SS1 remake
Evan Morgan
>I like the taste of shit! Don't tell me you're so casual you don't like the taste of shit too
Dominic Ramirez
why is ken levine a cuck
Zachary Sullivan
>Bioshock was good
No. I played Bioshit before I played SS2 and Bioshit was always bad
Robert Flores
SS2 is also bad
Luis Long
>Le shit eating comparison
Next you're gonna compare games to food
Andrew Moore
Lots of crappy looking games are made on Unity because Unity is free.
Unity is not incapable of making good looking games, however.
Blake Harris
>System Shock 2 HAHA! YOU WERE MERELY PRETENDING TO BE RETARDED!
Juan Price
They have updated the textures but not the geometry of the rooms, it looks stupid Every room is a 4 polygon box with super highress textures and little thingys on the walls
Daniel Barnes
SS2 is better than Bioshock but it isn't a bad game at all.
Angel Watson
I don't think a game that has been ripped off as much as SS2 (Doom 3, Dead Space, Bioshock) could ever be called even remotely bad.
William Smith
...
Evan Thompson
Remove yourself from this thread this instant, fag master.
John Moore
Can you even call Bioshock a rip-off since it was designed by the same dude?
Julian Moore
What should the rooms look like? I mean walls are usually straight. It looks good enough to me
Jason Kelly
I agree with you, it does look stupid. But their intentions are to create a faithful remake of the game. Nothing changed except the graphical fidelity.
Charles Lee
fuck this. crowdfund for otherside and give it to them to make ss3 better.
Anthony Turner
Did anyone explain the actual storyline of System Shock to them yet?
Colton Jackson
Earthbound has like 50 rip offs and Earthbound was bad
Anthony Wilson
They basically took the engine from that space cleaning sim, made everything much more shiny and added copious amounts of bloom before finishing it by smearing Vaseline across the screen
Jaxon Torres
epic
Wyatt Campbell
That wasn't in the original game was it? Weren't the zombies just the normal crew but mutated. That's some pretty liberal retconning
Owen Sullivan
>A Bioshit fan would think the System Shock 2 UI is bad >the System Shock 2 UI >System Shock 2
James Parker
I think this is actual original concept art.
Cameron Roberts
I'm not seeing it.
Robert Morris
>Earthbound was bad Don't you fucking start
Brody Phillips
>System shock 1-2 are my fav games of all time >Replay both at least once every year >Still think no other title who attempted to copy them nailed their game design.
And despite all the nostalgia i have for the game this looks kinda... wrong... I can't put my finger on it but all my nostalgia remembering those corridors can't bring me to like this.
Adrian Butler
The crew arent zombies, they're people with worms on them who grew into worm people. Their bodies are barely even recognizable as human.
Lincoln Ross
Seriously the pacing of the game is awful, combat is basic turn based combat with zero depth, No party organization to give certain characters priority over others, no unique equipment builds that reward smarter thinking, not harder thinking
Only reason people like it is cause Smash Bros made Ness popular
Liam Myers
If you don't think this looks amazing you are a bad person. They could have made it edgy dark blue grey but instead they kept the cartoony, surrealistic aesthetic of the interiors and enemies. If you don't think this looks incredible based on the trailer you are an edgelord contrarian--sorry!
Charles Robinson
People like it for everything that isn't the gameplay, and in terms of gameplay most RPGs are shit anyway.
Logan Lee
>Weren't the zombies just the normal crew but mutated. Yes. I think whoever drew that only looked at the sprites and tried to come up with an explanation for the bulbous eyes.
Isaac Gomez
>sorry! no problem mate
Mason Edwards
>When you first meet it
Angel Watson
Out there >the background looks super realistic and there is nothing that is modern that does that
Eli Bailey
more like only reason people like it is because >muh nostalgia >muh randumb XDDD >muh 2deep4u story >muh cult hit you gotta play it
I'm to replay it today and wouldn't have enough motivation in me to even play from start to finish
Carter Torres
That's System Shock 2 you're talking about.
Ian Evans
In SS1?
Kevin Price
SS2 is like deus ex with less RPG and more shooty
Eli Nelson
EarthBound is only recognised because of the final boss. Thats it.
Adam Gray
I thought this was supposed to be SS2 remastered because of the ss2 shodan image posted
John Bennett
Corporate shill the post
Josiah Morales
That's weird. I'm also a big fan of SS and this game looks kind of ok to me.
Gabriel Ward
I'm sorry I'm not really understanding what you're saying
Jordan Morgan
>You backing this right?
Fuck off retard
Luke Davis
>crowdfunding lol
Luke Anderson
Nah.
Ethan Green
agreed 100% linear as fuck shallow gameplay choices made no difference it was made for children who couldnt handle the complexity of the finalfantasy games at the time and some how has come to be hailed as "great" i blame tumblr kiddies and their bullshit safespace nonsense
John Rivera
Ok every fucking game now a days has a super big world where ss1 feels like it was more of a corridor thing.
The rooms feel to big and not enough detail for me
Ryder Rodriguez
>lets buy the bridge of brookryln No thanks my good man
Andrew Evans
You dumb cunt people liked earthbound before the god damn internet existed
Gavin Miller
Why does everything look like plastic?
>... the Unity-powered revamp
ahaHAhaHAHAhahaHAHAHahah
Ryan Brown
>Unity >Kickstarter
Why the fuck they turned SS into an indie game? Also the level design in 2d looked allright but it looks fucking retarded on 3d. They better not do this kind of shit on SS3.
Caleb Morris
>System Shock 2 UI >System Shock 2 >2
why bother getting up your own ass so much if you don't even know what the thread is about?
Ian Stewart
Before the internet existed?
Elijah Roberts
>SS2 is like deus ex Yeah no... also a great game, also in big boy on my shelf but your statement is just wrong.
Well i think im just frustrated because i'm waiting for over 16 years for a game that could succeed SS1 + 2 (with the ocasional disappointments of other games with "shock" in the name) and this just looks like someone ported the SS1 maps into a unity engine
Grayson Nelson
This might as well be copypasta--the same reasons that everyone gives, all of which are shitty or out-right wrong.
>No party organization to give certain characters priority over others Why do you need party organization to give priority to characters when they all have equal priority?
Ness is the Knight/Tank class Paula is Mage/Healer Jeff is Rogue Poo is the Battle Mage The perfect composition
They are all used equally because they all have abilities that the other party members do not have.
James Davis
>heading to kickstarter I thought it was already kickstarted, no thanks
Jose Fisher
Nah they're in the original.
Levi Anderson
yea literal children who couldnt take the compexity of games like blue dragon or eye of thr beholder
Bentley Cox
It looks like a 1-1 recreation with better graphics and controls. As long as it preserves the features and gameplay of the original, it should be great. Looks nice.
