KEN LEVINE IS NOT, I repeat, IS NOT part of the dev team.
Fucking assholes. Shit like Undermeme and Marie is CUTE CUTE and le fucking LOL get a shitload of replies but wait when there is actually discussion about a promising game, then you fucks are silent. Fuck you.
>>320069370
Did you expect more of neo-/v/?
A decade later, and I'm still confused as to how Shodan possessed Rebecca like what was shown, and more how they're gonna work that into SS3. Rebecca comes back to Earth as a Von Braun survivor to take Tri-Op over from within?
>>320068451
I wonder why they still bother with this so called tease when everyone knew from the start it was about system shock 3

Don't worry fellow hacker, I'll be hyped with you.
>>320069863
Yeah. But maybe we get a gameplay trailer or something.
>>320069675
>something bit me t rebecca
Maybe she had some implants inside her and Shodan transmitted her copy inside the implants while in the reality warped by the ftl engines or something.
>>320069370

Like is the a remake of the original system shock or system shock 3? Because I want to know what the fuck happened with shodan in the human body.
>>320068964
Good, Levine is a talentless shitter.
>>320069370
This isn't promising though, take a look at Underworld Ascendant, a game that should be great by all rights. Looks fucking terrible, and it's made by the same devs that are making SS3. It's going to be shit.
>>320070313
There is a remake of SS1 in the works. This is SS3.
Hopefully this is a sequel right? Super interested to see what they have in mind for that.
SS2 still holds up well as a game.
>>320070220
No way. It's gonna be

Alien Isolation was great. If they would have the same graphical quality, but larger environments, rpg stats and all that good stuff from ss1 and 2, it would definitely be goty.
Let me hope please.

>>320071473
>that girls voice
>>320071867
Pls inform the devs about this. Its not too late yet.
>>320071867
Being in a human body has given Shodan a new insight on what words and memes humans are into, the Shodan form is dead - Shodfam is the new based ruler
Is it actually a sequel or is it a reboot called SYSTEM SHOCK?
>>320071473
if she just shut up it would have been fine, I'm hoping it was just because it's an demo she talked so much. People tend to get bored at videos that are silent.
Oh god i hope that's the reason.
>>320072320
Sequel most likely. It has a 3 on it.
>>320070548
By the same guys?
I really, really want to play System Shock 1 and 2 but they're both pretty ugly.
I think I could at least get into 2 easier if I started with the remake of 1. Tried to play 1 years ago and it was just too old for me.
>>320068451
>we want the AAA audience
fuck off and leave SS alone
>>320072601
If you can't get past the graphics maybe you shouldn't play the game at all. You're letting autistic nitpicks get in the way of you playing two amazing games.
>>320072706
Pretty much.
Hoping we get a Deus Ex:HR type deal where it's still good and the casualization/accessibility doesn't fuck it up too much. Don't have much hope for that though.
>>320072706
What made you think they're aiming at AAA crowd? They other project is a game for 40 y/o rpg fans
>>320068451
>inb4 it's made in Unity
>>320072892
I'd be pretty hyped for a proper Deus Ex remake.
Revision doesn't count.
>>320072706
>>320072964
Plus it's more likely to be a low budget game /kickstarter title. We have to wait 2 more hours to see if i'm right
>>320073057
>actually wanting remakes
please kill yourself
>>320073057
Deus Ex doesn't need a remake, it's blocky goofiness adds to it's appeal. Hong Kong looks and feels great despite the game's age.
All a remake offers is new graphics probably done poorly without any soul.
>>320071101
>Are you ready to revel in my magnificence, hacker?
Shodan would never say this.
>>320074129
That's what i'm talking about, they're already ruining my waifu
>>320071473
>a game for dungeon crawler fan crowd
>shows hevily scripted "we want the amnesia audience" footage
>>320074129
Have you ever seen the intro to SS2?
Shodan has already used the word hacker to refer to the protagonist.
>>320075705
I know, but that one sentence is really weird and isn't how she talks normally.
>>320075705
i think it's the part before the comma
>>320068451
>terri brosius will probably be replaced as Shodan
please no
>>320068451
it's gonna be a kickstarter, night dive have said previously they can't fund a full game themselves and otherside (the ones doing it) have done kickstarter before for underworld ascendant which isn't even close to being finished
>>320076248
Shodan's voice is heavily edited to begin with, i think with modern technology you can do alright Shodan with any actress and you wouldn't even tell the difference.
>>320076248
They will surely use her as kickstarter stretch goal, you just wait and see
>>320068964
That makes me happy.

Why bring back SHODAN though? I like her and all but they already brought her back from the dead in 2, doing it again would be boring.
>>320078270
Just another reason why they shouldn't be making SS3.
>>320077243

>>320077612
i'd prefer this over a sequel i don't think it should be made honestly

That wouldn't be "doing it again" since Shodan didn't die in 2.
One hour before lol kickstarter
>>320068964
Thank fucking god. He ruined SS2, the first game was GOAT.
>>320079769
SS2 is objectively better than SS1 by any factor other than cyberspace. You cannot prove me wrong.
>another crowdfunded game by a developer who is not even anywhere near finished delivering their previous crowdfunded game
Yeah no
>Game takes place on Earth
>You're hired to go and break into a AAA corporate facility
>You encounter a Renraku Lockdown situation
>The containment fails

>The building you were breaking into was owned by a corporation run by another secret SHODAN core fragment
>The game takes a sudden and abrupt turn where it suddenly becomes Tenchi Muyo with multiple SHODANs where you need to hunt down the escaped specimens
>>320079956
it really isn't, ss2 has a lot of failings that fans don't want to admit it's still a great game though
>>320080689
I did not say SS2 was perfect, but if you compare the games side by side SS2 wins in every comparison (but cyberspace)
>>320080541
Way better than what we're gonna get.
is this worth buying?
http://store.steampowered.com/app/410710/
>>320081193
Yes, but you can wait for Christmas sale which is right around the corner.
>>320079956
The skills aren't balanced well, they're not very fleshed out and you can end up crippling your character. That's fine in a full-on RPG, but in a linear narrative it's just a nuisance. The FPS elements are mostly just Half-Life with inventory management, which is fine, but not very interesting. Both of these things were beaten (by Warren Spector, no less) when Deus Ex was released not long after. The sound work is excellent, but it doesn't make up for what's missing.
In contrast, System Shock's FPS elements and item management (in particular regarding the HUD) is still unique today and the navigation of the game world (for example, finding equipment and using it to advance, also allowing sequence breaking if you use it right), while not perfect, is a whole other experienced compared to contemporary competitors like DOOM. The RPG aspect is implicit, not shoehorned in with stat management, and it never clashes with the game's core mechanics because it's built right into them from the ground up.
In the sequel, especially if you've played the game, you know all the way through that SHODANS's going to turn on you. Levine thought that was clever, but it's not. It's obvious and you just end up following her orders because it's the only way to progress the game. Bravo.
In the first game, SHODAN's presence is genuinely unsettling, and when you combine that with the mechanics of the game creating the feeling of vulnerability at all times, having that voice come through on the radio is an experience that is not present at all in the second game.
Overall, System Shock just provides a more fleshed-out, coherent experience and I think it still hasn't been made outdated by newer games. System Shock 2 has.
I hope it doesn't turn out to be mediocre, I didn't really like what they have shown from Underworld Ascendant so far, which is a shame since I liked most Looking Glass Studios games.
>mfw they split the game into episodes
>>320080886
ive gotta disagree with you ss1 beat out ss2 in level design and progression i even think it looks nicer at a decent resolution
also you can't zoom down corridors on jet powered rollerskates slashing robots and mutants up with a lightsaber in ss2
>>320081193
yes but like >>320081353 said just a week or so and it should be on sale, gog have it to so you can probably find a copy to pirate if you really have to play it.
Fucking Night Dive, I'm glad they're doing things with these licenses, but this is going to be bad.

>>320082053
I think I remember the devs saying that they actually corrupted the graphics on purpose for those effects, it's kind of amazing.
They did the same when your get hit by EMP attacks, I think.
where is it
>>320082158
>>320082040
>>320080101
Can we not be pessimistic for once? Everytime we get pessimistic, the game will be literal shit. Let's try a different approach, Hackers.
This game will be fucking great.
>>320068451
I never did get around to finishing ss 2. Maybe I should go back, but then I remember the horrible shotgun. Fuck that
>>320082401
it corrupts randomly each time
20 mins left
>>320082560
I generally had a better time when I treated the shotgun the same way one would treat a pistol, a relatively resource-efficient means of killing shitty mobs.
You had to save pistol ammo for the AR anyway.
>>320068451
I hope the asethetic of the game borrows more from SSone than Two

>>320068451
>mfw ken levine confirmed to direct
>>320083546
Easy doesn't mean accurate though. When you've finished them both, come back and say that again.
I almost hope instead of being set in an abandoned area that's been overrun it also has areas that are populated with people, Like the hubs in Deus Ex
No psychic monkeys, no buy
>>320084005
Fuck those monkeys.
>>320083971
That would ruin the experience; the Shock games are about trying to survive a hostile environment alone.
>>320083860
I mean, it IS possible that it's true and that that's his/your legit opinion, but this is /v/ aka 'look at me I'm so special for having an unpopular opinion': the board, so I am going to feel safe in my assumption.
>>320083747
>ken levine
>>320083971
Hidden survivors located in the station would actually be interesting if it's done well (i.e if you can kill them all for mad loot, for example). No fucking karma system for interacting with them, though.
>>320084415
Precisely one of the reasons Infinite fucking sucked.
Took place in a lively world.
>>320084490
SS1 being a good game sure as fuck isn't an unpopular opinion though.It's ridiculously different than 2, not sure why you would ever compare the two. But it's easy to understand why someone would prefer 1 over 2.

Does it not occur to you that younger people often go back and play older games? And doing so sure as fuck doesn't make someone a hipster.
SS2 is pretty damn accessible, especially so since they released the Steam version. The success of Bioshock 1 back when it was released caused a fuck ton of people to go play SS2.

If this is the "Prey 2" project that Bethesda scrapped and hired another studio to make then into the trash it goes.
If this is made by the same people as Bioshock, into the trash it goes.

Mate, I'm pessimistic because the devs behind this are also building a spiritual successor to Ultima Underworld, the first game I ever played and one of my favourites to this day. That spiritual successor looks like fucking trash, so why would I trust them with System Shock?
