Was just about to make a thread.

TERROR SOON, FELLOW HACKERS

sony exclusive

Oh, cool. I'll play it.

I thought it was an Xbox one exclusive. If it got funded.

why would I support some consolized dead space in first person bullshit? fuck off, they just want the SS2 audience

PC demo, FAMicom.

PC/Xbone actually, but they'll probably have a stretch goal for PS4 and VR.

>kickstarter

>they just want the SS2 audience

Well, SS2 is better than SS1, so...

>they just want the SS2 audience

What's wrong with that?

>Launching on KS
What? I thought they were working on it.

I'll gib monies if there is some sign of ps4 version.

I hope this guy doesn't think PCfags will give them money past 500k

Gameplay (trigger warning: Polygon reviewer playing an FPS):
youtube.com/watch?v=v_uJ47oKHY0

Steam page is now up:
store.steampowered.com/app/482400/

It's just a demo. Presumably the same one Polygon showed off yesterday.

They are, which is why we will have an actual demo in about 35 minutes.

um lol? System Shock fanbase is largely on the PC.

a lot of games start development and only go into KS later when there's actual footage to show off

It's an accomplished dev studio with experience rebooting old franchises, this isn't a shot in the dark like other Kickstarters

They were, they're going to have a demo when the Kickstarter launches, probably just can't afford developing the full thing.
Man that Polygon video makes the game look way worse than the video on the Steam page.

> I haven't played SS1

>Kickstarter
>reimagining

>kickstarter
wew, the ks meme has passed, everyone got tired of getting jewed.

I've played and enjoyed SS1.

Sorry, but 2 is still the king.

OH COME ON!

They need fucking CROWDFUNDING???

Is levine allowed near this game? I dont want to see another shock game ruined.

Games cost money to make.

Kickstarter is primarily used for marketing now, plus free money so of course they are going to use it. It's like investing except the ROI is 0%.

No, a completely different studio is behind the remake.

No, but Paul Neurath and Warren Spector are consulting.

>voice logs

Anyone else tired of this storytelling mechanic?

wasn't it in the original, too?

The original invented audiologs.

>Holiday 2017
jesus christ, how horrifying

System Shock at least has an excuse considering the original was one of the first to do that

>Anyone else tired of this storytelling mechanic?
No because it was an iconic part of System Shock

>kickstarter
Damn I was actually excited when I heard about this too

As opposed to what, dialogue? Yeah, fuck off back to your Bethesda games.

My favorite game to use it was that fatal frame game where you could play people's final thoughts. it was spoopier and was a good way of hand waving the entire "he took the time to speak into a recorder or write something down before he died" problem

It'll be delayed for sure

>Unity Engine

Is there a way to give negative money?

>le unity is bad meme
its only bad when a bad developer uses it, which happens much more often because its more accessible.

Source that it runs on Unity?

What the fuck does "Holiday 2017" mean? Which holiday?

madewith.unity.com/games/system-shock-remastered

November/december time slot basically.

The holidays man.

you are retarded

It is pretty shifty launching on KS when NDS has the money from all the old games they've bought up and can obviously fund SS3.

this is some Shenmue 3 shit

What the fuck are with the graphics, it looks like a shitty Unreal Engine 4 fan game.

I know right? Yes it's true a lot of shitty indie games are made on Unity, but that doesn't mean Unity itself is bad.

No Unity is pretty awful. It's as bad as the unreal engine from the past gen.

Generic and shitty and I'm not going to pay literal money for any game using it.

>reboot
One of these days I'll go full on American on one of these reboots.

It looks fine to me. I'm failing to see the problem.

List reasons why a game using Unity would be bad.

>way more game is in RAM than on your hard drive

strawpoll.me/10612929
yeah I know it's a bit wonky on the formatting but it gets the point across

>kikestarter

When will you faggots learn?

Must be for the demo. How could they have a minimum storage requirement when the game won't be finished for another year and a half?

well original shock is only 145 MB, new textures and shite can't be more than a few gigs

>Pic related

The unity engine is just the gold stamp of generic, lazily made games. Everybody knows that.

I love system shock, but not enough to play a Unity remake.

This is a ground up remake on a completely different engine, not a high res texture pack, dummy.

Saint Patrick's Day

>2gb VRAM minimum
How fucking un-optimized is this piece of shit?

so basically its an emotionally charged decision on your part, to hate it? do you also have a vagina by any chance?

Can't say I'm enthused about what we've seen so far.

I still don't know what i should think about them keeping the overall artstyle - not that i don't like ss1 artstyle but this really looks like they just ported the map into unity so there are limitations visable they had back in the day but shouldn't be in a modern game.

most of the times its just a chance to preorder the game early, with a few added benefits. most people don't go for the 100+ dollar packages

That's mostly because the engine is so accessible that a lot of lazy people got their hands on it.
UE4 has the same issue now, I've seen a lot of really shitty kickstarters with that engine.

The engine is just a tool, talent and hard work is what defines the quality of the game resulting from it.

gotta go uncompressed for dat speed, yo

Unity itself isn't that bad of an engine, but since it's available to anyone you see much more shitty games made with it.
Isn't the engines fault that a lot of talentless people use it.

Nope. All games I've played that use the unity engine have been all really, really bad. So bad that the Unity logo before a game has become a red herring.
I'm never paying for another Unity game ever again.

Deal with it.

Well where is it?

Well looks like the devs are officially late with their Kickstarter.
Can't trust them to get the game out on time now either.

Demo out
steam://install/487390

Where's my full GoG dot com website SHILL-over for this shit?

ITS HERE kickstarter.com/projects/1598858095/system-shock

Demo was fun.

Why would GOG customers be interested in the remake of an old game? Let's be serious.

Pillars of Eternity was allright.

Have you seen gog lately? kek

>he didn't remove his ring first
and I guess even more
>he has a ring on his left ring finger
>he's married

Indeed and I4m worried. Still the core existing market hasn't changed yet.

For all we know it's the wife taking the picture.

>featureless white text logo with dirt and scratches on it meme

WHY DOES EVERY FUCKING GAME DO THIS

JESUS CHRIST

140/300 robots left, that was quick

If that's all true why can't they just fund it themselves?

Okay, I'm off to complete the original just so I can shitpost about the reboot.

Get 'em while they're hot

was gonna back it if i could get early bird but it's gone so now i won't

>300 early bird copies only
fucking gay

>can't switch to melee weapon
>get stuck on ladder

>Citadel not as it was but as you remember it
>research and perks like SS2

Not a fan of this really, I hope they don't fuck up the VR parts

I'm streaming it out of boredom if anyone is waiting for it to download or can't or doesn't what to download it or whatever.

Christmas, the only holiday that matters.

Guys I'm stuck at the part where you need to power an elevator...

What the fuck?

>kickstarter
when will you learn Sup Forums?

Good man.

Also, the demo crashed on me but it's p fun.

Chris Avellone is working on both Prey and System Shock?
Maybe leaving Obsidian was good news after all...

>a team of industry veterans
Who?

The demo is a slower, clunkier version of SS1 with prettier graphics.
The combat was one of the things that the original did extremely well, much better than SS2, and it's nowhere to be seen here.

that 5 bucks is really important to you, huh?

is this like bioschock?
