Oh, cool. I'll play it.

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

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

Gameplay (trigger warning: Polygon reviewer playing an FPS):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_uJ47oKHY0
Steam page is now up:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/482400/
>>343089930
It's just a demo. Presumably the same one Polygon showed off yesterday.
>>343089930
They are, which is why we will have an actual demo in about 35 minutes.
>>343089964
um lol? System Shock fanbase is largely on the PC.
>>343089930
a lot of games start development and only go into KS later when there's actual footage to show off
>>343089843
It's an accomplished dev studio with experience rebooting old franchises, this isn't a shot in the dark like other Kickstarters
>>343089930
They were, they're going to have a demo when the Kickstarter launches, probably just can't afford developing the full thing.
>>343090031
Man that Polygon video makes the game look way worse than the video on the Steam page.

Sorry, but 2 is still the king.
OH COME ON!
They need fucking CROWDFUNDING???
>>343089385
Is levine allowed near this game? I dont want to see another shock game ruined.
>>343090313
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%.
>>343090372
No, a completely different studio is behind the remake.
>>343090372
No, but Paul Neurath and Warren Spector are consulting.
>>343090031
>voice logs
Anyone else tired of this storytelling mechanic?
>>343090598

>Holiday 2017

>>343090598
System Shock at least has an excuse considering the original was one of the first to do that
>>343090598
>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
>>343090598
As opposed to what, dialogue? Yeah, fuck off back to your Bethesda games.
>>343090598
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 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.
>>343091109
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.
>>343091109
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.
>>343089385

One of these days I'll go full on American on one of these reboots.
>>343091541
It looks fine to me. I'm failing to see the problem.
>>343091662
List reasons why a game using Unity would be bad.
>way more game is in RAM than on your hard drive
http://www.strawpoll.me/10612929yeah I know it's a bit wonky on the formatting but it gets the point across
>kikestarter
When will you faggots learn?
>>343092014
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?
>>343092102
well original shock is only 145 MB, new textures and shite can't be more than a few gigs
>>343091827
>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.
>>343092368
This is a ground up remake on a completely different engine, not a high res texture pack, dummy.
>>343091245

>>343092014
>2gb VRAM minimum
How fucking un-optimized is this piece of shit?
>>343092485
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.
>>343091435
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
>>343092485
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.
>>343092641
gotta go uncompressed for dat speed, yo
>>343092485
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.
>>343092695
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.

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.

>>343097539
There's a power station up the ramp. As for the battery I'm not sure but I assume you right click it.

whats gay is that the only physical levels start at 150 fucking dollars. Ive seen tiny projects start at way less and still deliver
>>343097762
It's there for people who back early, not a permanent tier. They just ran out of slots earlier than expected.

I'm glad because it got barely funded and I don't think we've ever before seen the community get so invested in actually GETTING a KS project funded when it was down to the wire. And then you have faggots like RPS who didn't want to report on the game until it was funded in the last two days or so going "we didn't know it was being made".

Isn't this the kind of thing you guys always ask about? That the devs actually show that they are able to make the game instead of just throwing ideas and concepts at you? Why are people shitting on the demo?

>>343099438
My biggest gripe is that the amazing HUD from the first game telling you what you can interact with is really gimped in this version. Hopefully it's just a demo thing, but considering how many people don't know how to use the heal/power stations or hack the circuits you can tell it's really necessary.
I bet a bunch of people missed the upgrades right at the start too.

>>343090598
You couldn't even name 10 games that use that. It's not really that common of a mechanic.
>>343100413
Yeah Doom 4 really cemented it.
I don't mind it for cool weapons, it makes sense for a Super Shotgun or BFG9000, but there should be no hype for grabbing a fucking pipe.
If they want to add that character to the guns then they should just do idle animations.
>>343100837
You're not crazy, but I'm assuming they don't have the voice actors yet so they just put it on the wall instead
>>343092014
Can anyone explain this? How can a 2 GB game demand 8GB ram? Is it decompressing in real time or some shit?
looks ok.
I find hand animations retarded in fps games.
Despite this setting a good precedent with the playable demo I will not back this game or any other kickstarters. The game has likely been financed.

So, they need to fucking answer this already.
Is this a fucking remake or a god damn reboot?
I played the demo, and from my admittedly bad memory of System Shock 1, it was a 1 for 1 remake of it.
If it's just a 1 to 1 remake, then I'm not interested. I want unique events and levels.
oh my god

I am already yearing for commentary how this is totally ripping off bioshock, and will never EVER be a MASTERPIECE like bloody, fucking Infinite.
I do hope we evolve sufficiently so that nobody will want a remaster of infinite in 10-20 years.
>>343101803
its like they know that launching a kickstarter with a well known game name is free money or somethings
>>343101670
The demo was really nothing like the original. It feels like a similar transition from Doom to Doom 4 gameplay wise. The atmosphere feels completely different.
>>343101973
They already turned the gameplay into bioshock so it'd be accurate.
>>343101519
p. good fampai, more than I realized actually
I do make a distinction between Shock-like games where the audio logs are important to the gameplay and also present a large chunk of the story, and between Tomb Raider-like stuff where the logs are basically glorified collectibles.
>>343101670
>A modern take on System Shock, a faithful reboot; it’s not Citadel Station as it was, but as you remember it.

>It feels like a similar transition from Doom to Doom 4 gameplay wise.
I hope you understand what you are saying, because that's would mean they are taking the system shock formula and splicing it between modern horror games. Now I don't want to be a negative nancy but the horror games of today would have worse an influence IMO than the shooters.
I feel like the only saving grace is that it's being worked on by the old Devs who are fucking magicians when it comes to constraints.
But a lack of experience and practice makes me wonder, and has there really been a good example of "dev comes to remake a game they haven't worked on in over a decade"?
>>343103217

Just beat the demo
Graphically, the game looks pretty good, and is pretty much just the station from SS1.
However, the combat is pretty mediocre. Your movement speed is WAY too low, the pipe does about not damage, and the enemies have a longer reach than you. Definitely wished they had leaned more towards the original in that regard.
This is only a "pre-alpha", so I'm hoping they will improve on it in the future.

>>343103460
is it stuttering for you? It was anything but smooth, hanging around 50-55 fps. .

>No resource weapon is weak
>enemies are better in close quarters
did you not get a gun or something? that sounds really reasonable.
>>343103604
Way to make an analogy to a game even less played than System Shock, anon

i wanna fuck that frog
>Have a R9 390
>Game looks okay
>Barely reach 80 fps
Unity is a joke.
>>343103604
was it floaty?
>>343090065
So like MN9. Nice.

The only "gun" you get is a sidearm that uses energy. It's strong but it takes a while to recharge.

In regards to the original, the enemies on the first floor were pretty much nothing, you could easily kill them in 1-2 hits with the pipe. In the demo I literally sat and hit a zombie in the face 5 times before it died, it shouldn't take that long to kill the weakest enemy in the game.
can you read the crumpled up pieces of paper, or are they just trash?

Games cost a lot of money, believe it or not
And since they're going for no publisher, most people don't have enough on-hand to fund something this big to keep a team hired for well over a year and a half
Why is critical thinking lost on most of /v/?
>>343103848
Yeah that last zombie took a lot of hits to kills.

Go suck a Ramadong, you shit skin.
>>343103217
Are you sure that isn't the original?
just played it. all these animations are pretty unnecessary, like changing sparqbeam modes, i mean i understand that one faggot wants to show off his ebin first person animation skills, but it's pretty fucking unnecessary and looks cartoonish
>>343103547
It was more slidey than floaty, you moved around like you would in doom.
>>343102406
I want both of these to marry and make cute little grandchildren system shocks for grandpa warren.
>>343103965
>going for no publisher
didn't know that, also sounds retarded.
>Needing 600k for 2h worth of work.
>>343103435
Play the original, the code is in a log and the HUD points out anything that you can interact with.
>All those backer ingame shit
Welp
>>343103376
source?
>>343104184
That's the whole fucking point of games that get kickstarted. Have you been living in a cave for the past 3 years?
>>343089385
>kickstarter
Wait until they produce a product worth your money.
