IT'S FUCKING HAPPENING.

and a remake for system shock 1. We´ve been waiting too long for this
Can someone pls explain all the hype around this? Like, were the first 2 good or something?
(I've never played system shock before)
Cautiously optimistic about it..
>>320233327
The effects look excessive but it's cool if they're copying the level design exactly.
>>320233527
fuck off!
>>320233527
Nah mate just prequels for the Bioshock series, which in Infinite I think we can agree reached the pinnacle of intelligent game design for smart gamers such as you or I. I wouldn't bother with them if I were you.

meme shock 3
sir geh
>>320232878
they shouldn't have just handed it over to otherside, they still haven't delivered on ascendant yet and the stuff they have shown off so far hasn't been that great...
>inb4 ss2 shitters who are all experts on the series despite never having played the original
>>320233723
Thanks dude, literally the only nice reply Ive got all day
>>320233527
Yes, the first 2 were good. Bioshock was a spiritual successor to SS2, and SS1 was pretty advanced for the time it came out. I think it was the first game where the story is told to you through audio recordings after a disaster happened.
>>320233723
Bioshock Infinite is a great game.
>>320232878
Dated game that was only good because of the time it released it. Remakefags will never understand that this is the case for every pre 2000 era game being remade.
>>320233527
hard to explain, anon. F.e. second part was kind of a milestone in video games and had a huge impact on modern games of today (f.e. Bioshock).
To completely understand it, go and play system shock 2, or at least watch the first 10 mins of gameplay on yt
>>320233801
It wasn't exactly handed to them
>The path to bring the System Shock franchise forward was long and winding. Several years back, OtherSide secured the exclusive IP rights to all future versions of the franchise. Only recently, through partnership with Night Dive Studios, who owns the System Shock trademark, did OtherSide get the rights to use the System Shock name for the sequel.
But otherside didn't exist years ago. Apparently in 2013 it sort of existed under a different name, but its founder (who founded Blue Sky/Looking Glass in the first place) was trying to get the rights long before that.

I want this, but it's going to be casualised shit anyways.
>>320233327
>Bloom and chromatic aberration
Love it
>>320233848
ss1 was way ahead of it's time in pretty much every way it was also the first game to feature leaning (no other game has done leaning as well as ss1)
>>320233914
infinite is cod in skyland, if you like that fine but it isn't a "shock" game.
>>320234238
i know ther eare some old lgs people and others as consultants or whatever but they haven't produced anything as otherside yet
anyway whatever happens with ss3 it's still years away
>>320233327
System Shock badly needs a remake/remastering. Who the hell thought controlling everything with the mouse in a first person game would be a good idea?
>>320234696
They aren't consultants senpai (aside from Warren Spector), they're the ones making it.
But either way, I thought it was interesting because I assumed Night Dive just owned System Shock in its entirety but its still split up, just between people who care enough to do something about it instead of some Insurance company.
>>320234872
it's not your typical fps you would play today it's more like a dungeon crawler the controls and interface are just fine, in fact it's quite impressive that you can play the entire game with just a two button mouse however you can use the mouselook mod on dos or enhanced edition which has it enabled by default if you are a filthy casual.
>>320234996
warren spector didn't make all those game by himself and don't kid yourself night dive are a business and are in it for the money even if the owner has a huge hard on for ss2
>>320233327
That looks like it's supposed to come out on Android/iPad. I mean, look at the textures.
Well I hope that this means proper optimizaztion at least.
>>320233327
>remake looks worse
I don't think System Shock needs a graphics overhaul. I like the way it looks. It just needs stuff like controls and menus overhauled.
>>320235395
>and don't kid yourself night dive are a business and are in it for the money
Ah yes, the good ol' "creativity and dedication to the experience are dead" idiocy.
>>320235395
You misread my post, I didn't imply Warren Spector made those games on his own. It's him who's only a consultant, most of the rest of otherside (who are actually making the new games) were developers on those games as well though.
And I wasn't talking about the owner of Night Dive, I was talking about the owner of otherside, who was also the founder of Looking Glass and director for their games. And I assume he genuinely cares for those games because why wouldn't he? LG only stopped because there wasn't enough money to go on.
I'd rather have a new Thief.
Last time playing in SS2 almost 10 years ago and want to replay now with a psi-heavy build.
What is a good backup weapon for this type of character?
>>320236234
Not while its still in the hands of Eidos.
>>320236445
Those stream threads were the best thing about t4ffer in its entirety.
>>320236523
Eh, not so sure about that.
>>320238183
>Tfw no pal to co-op SS2 with
Well, I've heard it's really buggy and crashes constantly anyways!
>>320238128FORGET ABOUT THE GLOOM
>Unity
>>320239496
nice meme
>>320239506
it's a shame this is probably dead now
>>320233327
Remake looks a bit worse. Like the original with a bad enb/boom shit and fog
>>320239751
>>320235643
>i'm fucking blind: the post
http://www.polygon.com/2015/11/25/9801434/system-shock-remake-first-look-art
It looks great and is identical to the original design wise.
>>320240076
A bit better
>>320233527
Then go play one of them?

>>320240201
I never did care much for her appearance in SS2.
>>320240076
I like that it's faithful down to minor details like the arrangement of glowing buttons on panels on the walls but the lights look too harsh and it's weird how the hud bulges out.
>>320240378
Eh, I like both desu. I hope ss3 will have the portraits pop up on screen when you get an email like ss1.
it's gonna be an announcement for a kickstarter
you all fucking know it
It's gonna be shit and you know it. Why the fuck are you still believing in modern gaming /v/
>>320233750
Oh fuck off with that "it's a meme!" bullshit.
>>320243721
Alien Isolation was good. SS3 devs have the same heart as the devs of AI had in regards of source material.
>>320239665
What is it?
>>320244180
Go away Todd.
>>320244264
System Shock 1 on quake engine
http://www.moddb.com/games/citadel
Though now it is on Unity.
>tfw it was supposed to be released year ago
Time flies.
>>320244264
ss1 remake that one guys has been working on for more than a year now i think was originally on darkplaces but moved to unity
he was gonna add co-op and mother multiplayer stuff
>>320244449
Wouldn't be the first time an SS remake died off. I remember there was one for UE3 that didn't get far, I think EA gave them the C&D
>>320234696
>"shock" game
Well I sure hope you dont imply that the overrated garbage called Bioshock 1 is even remotely as good as SS2.
I'm going to marry SHODAN
>>320244778
bioshock 1 is better than ss2 in some ways aand still subscribes to the general formula, infinite is just a linear action game in comparison
>>320239496
>Not liking Unity.
sick
>>320245086
Sure, it subscribes into the general formula if in your opinion the general formula is a mediocre linear first person shooter
But in that case there are a lot of "shock" games and Bioshock Infinite is just as good as Bioshock 1
>>320245291
are you stupid?
>>320245435
Are you?
Bioshock 1 is the epitome of an extremely overrated mediocre tunnel shooter
Comparing it to SS2 is fucking retarded. SS2 has depth that a generic FPS could never even try to grasp.
>>320240551
I wish it doesn't stick 100% to the original level design though. It got too mazey in a lot of places. It's one of the things that ought to be improved in a remake.
I hope they revamp cyberspace too, they should make it more like Descent or something so it's fun to play
>>320240378
SS1 Shodan is best
>>320233327
We've seen one room. ONE. That doesn't mean shit. And all of these fucking SS3 threads with literary 0 real information about the game makes me believe that the myth is real and that marketeers actually visit this pos of a website.
So, please. Come back when you've got some actual content to show.
>>320248864
People talking about a series because a new game got announced is marketing
