Why hasn't the System Shock remake been funded yet? Do you guys not want it or what?
>>343416852
It will get more than enough so I'll just wait until release to potentially give themyoucash.
And the entire thing just smells like scam to me.
>remake
It's a reboot.
Fuck that.
>>343417296
The fucking company is known for remasters, not remakes.
What is this that smells like a scam to you, you fucking idiot? They have a goddamn demo for you to try out.
Christ.
I fucking hate /v/'s incompetency to pick up on shit. If you wanna not pay in, then just fucking say that and not make a stupid excuse.
No not really. I'll probably replay the original some time again soon.
>>343416852
I'll be getting the $150 big box or whatever it is. I just don't feel comfortable dropping that much money right now. I have twenty days to come up with more cash and then I'll buy in.
I'd be a lot more excited for it if it was coming out on PS4. As it is I guess I'll just grab it for PC.
>shitty "ambient" new soundtrack
>unfiltered textures "part of our art direction"

>maxOfS2D
You're not seriously giving them money at this state, are you ?
I care more about SS3 than a game i've already fucking played
>>343418467
good ambiend soundtrack
good art direction
that's a shame
some literally who drama does not concern me
I don't like the direction that they're taking it in. Shock 2 was a good game, but there's no need to make the original like it.
I gave them $20, but very grumpily.

SS1 is fine
Don't need no remake
>>343416852

Maybe I would have donated then, but it';s a reboot so they can fuck off, especially after that demo

Once you get past the weird UI, it's actually very playable with the Enhanced modifications.

you like a headless rooster
>>343417759
>It's a reboot.
meaning what exactly by the way, btw?
That they plan to continue the series from their remake of SS1?
Or that they intend to make SS1 about a young woman that has to discover how to be strong for the first 15 minutes and then kills everyone she encounters without a care or comment?
>>343419281
they're changing the style of the game instead of properly remake it.
It's looking more like SS2 than 1, with RPG shit and a focus on horror
>>343418467

>>343419204
True, but, personally, I would not mind something like what the demo promised in the least.
>>343419378
yes
withdraw your fucking pledges while you can
SS2 > SS1
>>343419541

>>343419541
why would I?
I've never heard of the person before, and just because he's in a kickstarter trailer doesn't mean the game itself is going to suffer
>>343419541
I guess I'll wait for Warren Spector's SS3.
>>343419376
But would such changes not be entirely in the scope of a remake as well?
>>343418467
>>343419378
>maxOfS2D
who?
I think people are finally taking kickstarters with a grain of salt after mighty no 9
>>343419690
depends on the degree
I'm not the guy who said it was a reboot by the way, but it's obviously not going to be a 1 to 1 remake
>>343419541
Is he a game director or a producer or something?
He's just a guy with "dev" tag on steam.
>>343418467

>>343419579

>>343416852
>people have been burned by kickstarter
>they don't like the direction the remake is going based on the short demo
also the video shows nightdive people making it which is a little worrying because they don't actually make games
I just hope they have people from otherside who can step in and take the reigns
the stretch goals are fucking stupid too
>>343419624
>>343419779
A fucking degenerate who does 3D work.
He's to thank for the pixelated art direction and the 70FOV 3-second long attack animations in the demo.
>>343417771
That's just what /v/ is now. It went from a place where people talked about video games to a place where people talking about video games and bitched about all the bullshit that was going on and the direction the industry was headed, to a place where people bitch about literally everything because they feel like it.
>>343420000
So it's a /pol/ thing? I'll ignore this ""controversy"" then
>>343420000
>pixelated art direction
It looks awesome though. I hope it stays.
>>343419624
I just read the ED entry of him and if even half the shit there is accurate you it would be better if he had no deciding position in this.
But that does not immediately make me not want this game...
>>343420061
>dude is known for shitty work on his TF2/Dota stuff and generally being an ass
>the demo clearly has animation issues(barring the cybermodule installations, those are great)
>hurr durr he said degenerate must be /pol/ !!!!
end yourself senpai
>>343416852
It's been two days and its at like two thirds of its goal.
What the fuck you want from it, for it to beat Shenmues?
>>343419767
They themselves said that it is a "full fledged reboot" not just a remake, a distinction that makes me wonder what they actually mean, because the only things that come to my mind as reboots are things like the aforementioned TR2013, syndicate, ......and nothing else atm, but if we take these two for instance, the mention of a reboot sounds kind of like a threat.
>>343420138
>ED
>if even half the shit there is accurate
That people are taking a fucking PRE-ALPHA demo to be indicative of how the final product will be is absolutely retarded and goes to show you the age range of /v/.
Did system shock ever have that big of a hardcore fanbase?
I've heard plenty people say it's great but barely any that's OMG I FUUUUUCKING LOVE SYSTEM SHOCK AAAAAAAAAAHH like some people will gush over Metal Gear or Castlevania.
BioShock fans don't seem that big on it either.
>>343418467
>shitty "ambient" new soundtrack
Oh, no.
They fucking wouldn't.
>>343416852
they're going to aim for the lowest common denominator so they can fuck right off with their casual normie pandering trash.
Eat my ass, I was one of the first to donate.
>>343418467
>maxOfS2D
Everything I've seen of this guy indicates he is a massive egotistical asshole, how can he possibly work with other people?
>>343416852
>Do you guys not want it or what?
Of course not. They've already announced that this isn't going to be a true remake of the original. It's going to be a dumbed down reboot for casuals, with an unwanted injection of Night Dive's very own 'artistic vision'. It's going to be complete trash if it gets funded.
>>343420509
Distribution was a massive problem since the games sold like shit, their production scale was tiny and the IP was held by an insurance company until recently.
That coupled with their incredibly dated design meant there was never more than a cult following around the games. That's why no one picked up on Bioshock literally recycling System Shock 2's twist
>>343420441
Yeah, well, I don´t know much about it..., having read 2 entries I decided that I had better things to read, but maybe the general gist of informations there is accurate. As I said, I don´t know.

Look at the comments.
All I can hope for is that someone steps up and hacks a proper soundtrack in when the game releases.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17FAFpmNIWA
It's such a fucking shame. I blame Bioshock.
System Shock doesn't need to be remade.
>>343421008
blame ss2
nightdive was founded solely to bring back that game and the ceo has a huge hard on for the game
>>343420761
What the fuck? D-do you actually think Bioshock's twist was Atlas? Bwahahaha holy shit. It was a macguffin thrown in to make you focus on how smart you thought you were for seeing it coming.
I have honestly never seen someone think Atlas was the twist. Bravo, retard.
>>343420901
So, exactly what a remake/reboot should do?
>>343421008
>I'm not sure what some of these other comments refer to as being "more system shock". The original soundtrack was unbelievably grating.
GIVE ME MY ELECTRONIC SOUNDING SHIT BACK YOU FUCKS
>>343421395
>Games should be made for retards
>>343421132
Nah, shock 2's music was very much in the vein of shock 1's. If they really love ss2 that much, they should go all in instead of trying to pander to the "bioshock in space" folks.

Give me back Eric Brosius
>>343421395
A remake should recreate the game as faithfully as possible. SS1 was a perfect game, there's no reason to change anything but the graphics. And reboots simply shouldn't exist because they're always trash meant to pander to people who never played the original.
>>343421428
Updates do not necessarily equal casualization. By that logic, REmake is a casualized version of the original RE.

SS2's soundtrack was fucking nothing like this shit.

>>stupidly high stretch goals for meaningless shit, yet the original soundtrack is one of the highest
This is the jewish thing you can do with kikestarter. Stretch goals are intended for funding the features that the stretch goals unlock, not motivate people to drop 500 bucks for a promise of something they could easily just add with the press of a button. It's fucking harder and more costly for them to make new music than use the old music. Fuck them.

A lot of the devs' excuses can be found on the steam forum page, actually :

>We've discussed this and it's something we'd like to add, but it's complicated because it means we'd have to do two soundtrack implementations. So, no promises! (but we'd really like to do it)
>However, don't worry about the main soundtrack; what you've heard so far is not representative of the whole thing, as more electronic parts will blend into the mix instead of just orchestra, past the intro.
tl;dr "we can't do epic cinematic timed soundtracks for two different music sets dude"
