So when I saw that Nightdive Studios was crowdfunding a remake of System Shock, I didn’t have much choice in the matter. The sequel, System Shock 2, is often considered one of the greatest games of all time. It’s a game I loved so much I novelized it. It was the first of the immersive sim games, making it the progenitor of Thief, Deus Ex, BioShock, Prey, and (to a lesser extent) the Dishonored series. It was bound to happen sooner or later, but it really is a shame it happened to this project in particular.Īs I’ve said before, the 1994 classic System Shock was a really important game, both for the industry and on a personal level. I backed a Kickstarter project that spent the money and didn’t manage to create a product. The System Shock remake is described as a "faithful reboot of the genre defining classic from 1994 built by a team of industry veterans." The last we heard about the game was during the PC Gamer Show in June of last year where a new trailer was released featuring gameplay with improved visuals and narrated by the game's antagonist, SHODAN.This Dumb Industry: The Death of System Shock A demo is also currently available to try out.
"This has also given us time to go back and polish various aspects of the game that needed that extra shine."įollowing the Kickstarter post, the official Steam page has now been updated with preorder details, while new in-game screenshots provided. "The scope and scale of the project has evolved dramatically and with Prime Matter joining the project it’s enabled us to focus on quality-of-life improvements, bug fixing, and localization support – the last major steps towards releasing a game we’re all incredibly proud of. "As some of you have already pointed out this is not our first time announcing a tentative launch window, but over the past few years much has changed," Nightdive said. In a new Kickstarter post, via VGC, the developer shared the news and provided an update on the project.
