    I generally despise remakes but I'm actually hyped for this one, even if it butchers the atmosphere with the changes in lighting and music.
    Honestly, I think the new one is a good fit.

      Cool that they make you equip the hardware, also now finding hardware will probably feel more impactful, you could find a huge upgrade in the original and maybe not even realize because 90% of the time you were looking out for enemies

        Nightdive steals code from a dev who has worked on making Blade Runner work on modern systems, makes it dogshit, applies AI to make graphics dogshit as well, insults the dev. It's over.

        Anonymous

        As the director of the original game explained they used a lighting buffer as a deferred renderer to allow light to land on the voxels which represented the characters. This allows them to blend in with the environment at least somewhat convincingly. In Blade Runner remaster that wasn't working so the result was the image on the right. Couple of other changes like a mobile tier game UI and captions which also damaged the aesthetic, AI upscaled cutscenes which looked quite weird in motion and general blurriness and in some cases making signs hard to read.

          I hate Nightdive purely because their laziness gets more and more apparent as they take on more projects that they don't have the man power for, yet no one in the Boom Shoot Industry ever backtalks them.

            The main game isn't unplayable, Only cyberspace feels like a complete headache. What that webm isn't showing is how interacting with the world is a headache, interacting with your menus is a headache, switching weapons is a headache, knowing what your shit even does is a headache.

            Also one other big problem SHOWN in that webm is how enemies mostly do nothing because they have to account for you going to the headache to switch from explore mode to combat mode.

            Enhanced edition does alleviate the problems, but at its core the game is a headache, one that I doubt it's worth taking.

                Better yet, why does no other game has this problem? Before or after? Like, at it's core System Shock isn't doing anything that System Shock 2 didn't do, easier and better. It doesn't do anything special, at its heart the problem is that the core gameplay itself is poorly optimized.

                IDK, I loved the combat. Once you get to use leaning properly, it feels really modern and the gunplay is good. The Mark III rifle being so powerful it pins you to the ground while you're shooting it is great.

              Not this shit "Why does it have to have animations?" argument again.
              I could understand that for a game in which you constantly go in and out of the menu, but the remake has pretty alleviated that.

              Complaining about animations in a modern game, over artificial and soulless menu opening, is like the biggest nostalgiagoggle shit ever.

                where did I mention anything about animations? this is about menus being unresponsive because they are done following modern conventions where each menu has to load in more 3d assets than useful information, you were complaining the menus are a headache in a game where all the information to you is available at a glance and with no pause due to loading in 3d glitter shit, having a menu be unresponsive is a "headache"

      Ultima Underworld is the better game series, despite both having shit combat and controls.

    Well at least Kick can't try to exploit the IP any further anymore after this. With Atari, they'll just sit on the IP for years or decades.

      Just go with EE anyway. It takes a bit to adjust but you’ll get the swing of things sooner than you think.
      Despite the obtuseness, it’s still a remarkable game that has a ton of cool shit to appreciate. If the remake can at least recapture that enormous freedom with 2’s controls and UI, then mission accomplished. Demo is good gameplay wise but the visuals dont convince me

    If it is at least half as good as Prey 2017, then for me it will already be the main game of the year without options.

      system shock doesnt really have that much mechanically in common with s22, and as a result has even less in common with prey. ss1 has no rpg elements, no "magic" and always one way to play the game

    Sooo, about SS1, should I play the EE or the original. I don't care for how "dated" the game is or convoluted menus or whatever, I'm open to everything.

      EE is literally just the original but with better controls and supports more resolutions and shit. There is zero point to playing Classic aside from contrarianism, you miss absolutely nothing by playing EE.

        So it's like choosing the original release over the unity version when playing Daggerfall. Pure contrarianism.

          As someone who has played Classic DOS SS1, SS1EE, Classic DOS Daggerfall and Daggerfall Unity all from start to finish over the years: yes, that is an accurate comparison.

      You can play original if you care about "developer intended" but eh, even in EE the control scheme takes some getting used to so no need to make it harder for yourself your first time. Leave that for the 2nd run if you're really curious. Or maybe if you are used to Ultima Underworld and want to play like that again its similar, kinda.
      Bad thing about EE is the port has some shaky performance though it still beats Dosbox. And I dislike the Mac portraits so I enable dos faces in the settings

      That's the problem with so many remakes. Why pay so much for them if you can just play the original. I don't get why so many people want them. If it released in an old console that not so many people have, or the game is difficult to obtain, sure. But that's normally not the case.

    So many delays and scrappings of the project I hope it turns out okay. The demo was cool though I only played the original version of it.
    Also it's a shame System Shock 3 got stuck in development hell too.

      I never experienced it when I played and that was at launch of EE years ago. Unless they fricked it up since 1.0 then idk. Anecdotal of course, YMMV.

    Why was she wearing a kimono at the end of SS2?

    • 10 months ago

      Unironically because she's a weeb thanks to one of her (in-universe) creators being Japanese. The final level of SS2 was meant to be a cyberdojo like Morpheus had in the matrix but it got cut.
