So why aren't people talking about this?

Has this board truly forgot?
>>319639832
Hype is down considerably considering how fucking terrible Otherside's only other project looks

If you have any faith in these people after seeing this video you are retarded

>So why aren't people talking about this?
Because there's nothing to talk about. They didn't show shit, just a website with a countdown.
>>319639832
Things have changed
It could be another thi4f
Devs could have turned into assholes who want to cash grab on nostalgia
They are a small studio doing fuck knows what these last few years so the game might not be berry good
A game anywhere near System Shock 2 level of quality cannot be produced in 2015. This can only be a disappointment, so who cares?
>>319640150
WOW... This looks ... just awful.
>>319640150
holy shit
>>319640150
Alright, I just lost all of my hope for SS3.
>>319639832
This art is really powerful in my opinion. Got chills from looking at it.
>>319640150
>100% scripted
>voiced NPC telling you what to do every step of the way
oh dear, I thought LGS were all about player agency and immersion? this is the opposite of that
>>319639984
>tfw just wanted to talk about System Shock
>>319639832
>System Shock Infinite
Why can't they let good franchises rest in peace ?
>>319640936
Its five fucking people vaguely affiliated with looking glass using the name to get themselves recognition, just like every other fucking kikestarter dev
NOT looking glass studios
That being said, Nightdive's System Shock 1 1:1 remake looks pretty sweet given the screenies we've been shown. I have a lot more faith in them than the chucklefucks at otherside
>>319641079
Than lets talk about the remake. What are your hopes for it?
I don't personally think they could fuck up much if they keep this level of graphical fidelity throughout, unless the voice acting is god awful or the combat is janky as fuck (its a fucking FPS not that hard)
Hopefully they have all the weapons and ammo types despite the redundancies. Made the original feel more authentic.
>>319641278
now this actually looks decent
>>319641278
holy fuck I thought these guys were nobodies
How'd they create such slick assets?
>>319641463
These are filters, mostly.
>>319641463
they've got a lot of money from buying the rights to old franchises and distributing them, something like 80 games
>>319641603
filters have nothing to do with 3d modeling, smoke, or lighting.
>>319641603
>filters mostly
I was talking about the cryopods in the back and the consoles on the wall you dumbfuck not the DOF

Dumbass, don't blame your own faggotry slowpoking on us.
>>319641278
As long as I can bust a niggas head with a wrench I'll be having a good time. That screenshot looks slick as fuck though, mildly hyped but seeing what they did with that other game lowered my hype.
Wouldn't mind some new weapons though, as long as they're creative with them, I feel in SS2 they gave you the option for worm guns and the like way too late.
how the fuck is this a unity game?
>>319641907
The people doing System Shock Remake are different from the people doing System Shock 3 and Underworld Ascendant, pay attention
>>319641919
>the kind of guy who thinks an engine matters that much
Guess what, assets and shaders can make any engine look good
>>319641825
>Dumbass
lol back to Reddit mate
>>319641919
could the PS4 handle these graphics?
>>319641981
HOL UP
*smacks lips*
You tellin me there is a System Shock 3 in the workings AND a remake of the first game?
>>319642132
Yes, DeWandre, there is.
>>319642028
will probably run like shit
>>319642208
Depends on how well they optimize it. Right now even in that mockup it's not that complicated, not something that would necessarily be too terrible to run.
>>319639832
I'm afraid.
Afraid it will be a shitty cash grab.
The probability for this to be a cash grab is 99.999999999%.
>>319640150
So its another "cant fight back, le terrible monster" meme game walking simulator? No, fucking, thanks.
>>319639832
I can already see it.
>linear corridors
>objective markers
>little to no RPG mechanics
>probably reuse enemy designs instead of creating new ones
I guess we should be happy it's not a reboot just called SYSTEM SHOCK or something.
>>319642314
>Right now even in that mockup it's not that complicated
You wouldn't believe how hard unity dev's fuckup.
90% of the games don't cull objects and terrain that aren't in view.
So for example in the case of SS remake, it'd be processing every single object in the level despite the fact you're only in one room
Most devs do this because they can't write stable enough code that an object will do the same thing every time it spawns, so they load everything only once to minimize fuckups
Source: engine dev for a few incredibly shitty FPS
>>319642586
if they make linear corridors to system shock 3 i'm going to shit on their front porch
the whole point of system shock 3 was spooky scary lost in space feel
>>319642586
>>little to no RPG mechanics
you mean like 1?
leveling up in 2 was cancer.
>you need cybernetic upgrades to fire this gun!
yeah, no, fuck off shodan. Upgrades should have been limited to hacking PSI and Stat upgrades. Arbitrary weapon requirements are fucking cancer
>>319642616
I know what occlusion culling is. In my experience it's that and a fuckload of materials that are Unity's two framerate killers. Something tells me that the guys who made System Shock at least understand how to avoid that.
>>319642742
>Something tells me that the guys who made System Shock at least understand how to avoid that.
Like what? All we've seen are screenshots, no gameplay so far. Not that I think poor optimisation is for sure but these devs aren't vetted at all, literally all they've done is buy rights to old games and distribute them.
>>319642616
it'd do that because BSP is an outdated concept
>>319640150
It really is 20 fucking fov, holy shit.
>>319642742
>I know what occlusion culling is
sorry I mansplained you, most people on /v/ no fuckall about how games work
like
>more money equals better game!
no, better devs and more time equals better game
more money means you can pay better devs longer
>>319642954
I don't understand how it turned out like this
>>319642842
Wait, these aren't the original devs?
Nevermind then, it's a total gamble.
>>319639832
>inb4 Troy Baker voices the protag and Tara Strong voices Shodan
>>319639984
They literally said the protagonist is voiced only for the sake of explanation in that video and that fov is adjustable (it is higher in the playable prototype thing).
>>319640403
>A game anywhere near System Shock 2 level of quality
you mean a rushed game with a terrible ending and several poorly thought out mechanics, whose only saving grace is a few well designed areas and atmosphere?
>>319643025
artists wanting people to have a nice zoomed in look at their assets, same reason things like dear esther exists
>>319641278
>Co-founder of Looking Glass
>vaguely affiliated with looking glass
I'm not saying they'll necessarily produce anything good now but come on.
>>319643103
the explanation is the worst part, why can't you figure out what to do yourself? why aren't there multiple possible interactions instead of 1 scripted one?
>>319639832
Just a reminder that SS1 better than SS2.
There's really not much to talk about, snce it's just a one-webpage teaser with no screenshots or footage. All we can do is hope for the best.
>>319643140
Yes even that's a struggle these days
>>319643303
Cyborg Midwives want a chat with you.
>>319643196
I think you missed the point of what I said. The developer said that the protagonist is planned to be silent in the final game so you have to figure things out on your own. They added a voice to the video to give some degree of explanation to this situation that has no context. There's a different version of the video with developer commentary that explains this.
>>319643179
>billed as "creative advisor" on their kikestarter page
He's vaguely affiliated with the project, not leading it by any means
>>319643179
You need a team, not a person.
One guy doesn't make a game.
>>319639832
Because there's nothing to actually talk about
You would have to be beyond stupid to get hype
>>319643419
The opportunity to accidentally destroy earth with a mining laser is puts your pitiful cyborg midwives to shame
You also just reminded me how much better the enemies in SS1 were, and how many more of them there were.
>>319643140
>Implying that ending wasn't a gem
It wasn't what I was epxecting but I can only imagine what the reaction /v/ would've been like if it was around at the time.
>MEME ENDING
>>319643496
I'm talking about Paul Neurath, I think you're talking about Warren Spector.
>>319643140
That game was damn near unplayable. oh look a gun
>cond. 2
>>319643303
That's literally a lie, at least SS2 has replayability and has aged pretty well
>>319641919
Satelite reign is the best looking game I've played this year and It's made with unity.
It also has memeory leaks and preformance issues like every other piece of shit unity game I've played.
>>319643789
There's a ton of guns just laying around with good or better condition and with decent maint you can fix anything easily.
>>319643507
That's why I said I don't have high expectations. But there are more people who employees at Looking Glass, which is more than "vaguely affiliated". Considering it's a small team it's something like half of them.
>>319640150
Oh.
Well, RIP SS3 then.
>>319643789
>not being able to get through system shock 2 with cond. 1 pistol and repair
it's literally not that difficult, I know this because I am retarded and I did it.
>>319644097
we got another rooster teeth faggot here
gross
>>319643923
>PUT POINTS INTO YOUR MAINTENANCE SKILL SO YOU CAN USE AN AUTOMATIC TOOL TO MAINTAIN YOUR GUNS
how come everything ken levine touches turns to shit?
when will people acknowledge that despite System Shock 2 being a great game, many of its systems were sub par?
>>319644251
you don't NEED to, there's only one skill you NEED to have to get through the entire game, maybe you should not be shit?
>>319639832
What's they're to be excited for, shill?
The company and developers who made the first two are well and truly dead
It'll be watered down trash that misses the point completely just like the Thief reboot
>>319644251
Repair system was annoying (just like every single repair system in every single game, seriously, weapon degradation is shit), but saying
>unplayable
Is going way overboard with it. Game was easy enough even with repair bullshit.
>>319644547
>>unplayable
your words not mine
never did I say the game was unplayable, I just stated many of its systems are sub par
>>319644526
As bad as their other game looks, it already has a spell that functions like a rope arrow. They couldn't miss the point as hard as Thi4f.
>>319644650
>your words not mine
The guy you are replying to is replying to a person who said it was
>unplayabe,
so your response to him comes as a natural continuation of that discussion.
>>319644781
>The guy you are replying to is replying to a person who said it was
then why didn't you reply to that person dumbfuck?
>>319644526
Why am I a shill? I'm just another System Shock lover?
>>319644881
Why did you jump into a discussion on weather or not the SS2 is unplayble? It's literally two posts in a row with no deviation and if you chim in with loud capslock whining right after it doesn't really look like you are deviating from it.
>>319645654
I jumped into a discussion on whether or not repair was a shit mechanic
you're embarrasing yourself now. You're doing nothing by arguing this. Was your internet ego hurt? If thats the case then let me assure you everyone feels sorry for your. Continuing to post will fix nothing. Just let go.
