I never played Alien Isolation, but it seems like that might have a similar mood going for it.
The closest any game has come to that feeling was the first Bio Shock game, at least for me. Both games had a sense of discovery, exploration, and tension as you slowly made your way through the environment with Shodan mocking you. SS2, from Looking Glass in 1999, ran on Windows 95 or 98, and required a 4 MB (4 MB!) video card, like the 3DFX Voodoo card. Anyone remember boot discs? But back then, it really wasn't a big deal, as many games required a boot disc to run. And you could go and play this remastered edition right now and. The original SS, from Origin back in 1994 was still an MS-Dos game that you had to make a boot disc to be able to run it. The 2023 remake of Looking Glass’ 1994 PC touchstone emphasizes just how important System Shock is to modern video games. I haven't yet had time to play the free demo available on Steam, but I hope to get to it soon. That costs money, and not many studios would do it.
I give them credit for stopping their first attempt before it was done, and completely restarted production, so that they could remain true to the original. The System Shock remake weve all been patiently waiting for will arrive in 2022 by way of a partnership between Nightdive Studios and Prime Matter, a division of Koch Media that formed last. Both SS & SS2 were just so immersive all those years ago (1994 for SS, 1999 for SS2), and from the game play video, it looks like Nightdive Studios really kept the feel of the original. I'm really looking forward to see System Shock Remastered finally, after so many years, released this summer. For the latest information, keep an eye on the System Shock Kickstarter page, where Nightdive Studios blogs frequently about work on the game.The original System Shock 1 and System Shock 2 Later, it was delayed all the way into 2023, before being given its first firm release date.Īt this stage, it looks highly likely System Shock will release in May 2023 as now planned – although we’ll have to stay tuned for updates as development progresses. The System Shock remake slipped from its original launch window of 2018, then into 2020. Shortly after this showcase announcement, ‘scope creep’ reportedly set in, as ideas for the project ran wild. ‘This is a full-fledged reboot of a classic game into something new.’ ‘We felt that the amount of passion and resources that we are putting into this game elevated it beyond the expectations that someone would have for a remaster,’ Nightdive Studios CEO, Stephen Kick said of the game in 2016.
