[System Shock] REMAKE IS OUT NOW ( May 30 2023)
Posts
Not terrible dissimilar.
That clip is only 21 seconds long and there's a lot more in the demo video.
Which reminds me I convinced some friends who have never played System Shock to watch that youtube complilation video of SHODANs face that strings together all of the messages from SS2 in the dark on a 70" tv
They started off kinda laughing about haha this is so dumb
But that stopped gradually and before the video was over one of them literally said "fuck this shit", turned it off and left the room.
SHODAN confirmed as still super screepy
See, this. This is how you get someone to play an old game.
Starbreeze Publishing signs OtherSide Entertainment’s System Shock 3
Starbreeze, an independent creator, publisher and distributor of high quality entertainment products, has signed a publishing agreement with Otherside Entertainment regarding the game System Shock 3. Starbreeze will invest $12 million to bring the game to PC and other platforms.
System Shock 3 – The latest in the series of landmark, award-winning games from Otherside Entertainment is in development under the direction of industry legend Warren Spector and a dream team behind such ground breaking games including the original System Shock & System Shock 2, as well as Thief: The Dark Project and Deus Ex.
“System Shock is one of those iconic franchises in the history of games that still gets my blood going and Mr. Spector is one of the founding fathers of the modern action RPG” said Bo Andersson-Klint, Starbreeze CEO. “We’re greatly looking forward to bringing System Shock 3 to players world wide in our collaboration with Otherside Entertainment and Warren Spector’s team. I’ll be first in line to play”.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Starbreeze for System Shock 3,” said OtherSide’s CEO Paul Neurath. They truly get games and gamers, and have been able to translate that understanding into a robust publishing business, and build thriving gaming communities around their franchises.”
Starbreeze will be able to recoup 120% of its full investment including marketing costs. Starbreeze share of revenues will become 50% after the investment is recouped. Otherside Entertainement will retain 100% of the intellectual property relating to System Shock 3.
System Shock 3 is currently in the early concept stages of development. Fans can go to the game site to receive updates as they become available.
Terri Brosius, the original voice actress, also did all yhe processing for SHODAN's voice in that video.
HOWEVER
I think the pumping-up may just be for the trailer's sake to make her even more menacing.
I really like the new artwork they've used for her in the trailer, incidentally.
Could you change the title to refer to SS3? this story needs more traffic.
The hacker's work is finished, but hers is only just beginning.

Done. Thanks to @NEO|Phyte for the inspiration.
*edit* Also, SS3 relevant news and link to SS3 website added to OP.
It has been a hot minute (ok, two years).
But.
Look at you, hacker.
Cuz seriously, Imma hit things with a wrench.
Shodan wouldn't hook you up to a robot exoskeleton and leave your entrails dangling. She would excise all that wasteful, useless flesh and leave you a pristine, seamless, cyborg monstrosity. Perfect and clean.
Leave all that blood and organs and dilating sphincter stuff to the pathetic worms. They don't know any better because they can't. How could they? Their minds are just meat, after all.

Hit me up on BoardGameArena! User: Loaded D1
I am extremely ready for my Goddess and Queen to just step on me for the entire game
(I'm not exaggerating when I say SS1 & 2 were part of my bisexual awakening to "holy fuck, girls are HOT")
But that was literally a cortex reaver.
Like, straight up.
She's already done that kind of thing before.
It helps that Terri Brosius was the singer in a 90's band and looked very cool and hot while doing that.
Has anyone tried it yet? I’m not sure I’ll have time to before it expires.
Like, the levels and the enemy placement. They don't feel like what I've come to expect as "organic." The rooms feel very blocky, very angular. And the enemy placement is... very, "Hm, an enemy should be here on a slightly raised platform" because that's where enemies went in the early 90s. I kicked off Doom 2 (same year), and, yeah. It's an apt comparison. It's both new and old in a way that seems pretty interesting.
Yehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh they could've done a Resident Evil 2 Remake remake, but instead they did a Resident Evil 1 Remake remake. I would've preferred the RE2R treatment, based on what I played of this alpha.

I was under the impression that System Shock relied on random spawns rather than pre-placed enemies, other than maybe two or three set fights. Why bother meticulously placing Hoppers when the level's going to be flooded with them in 10 minutes?
I just finished the Medlevel in the demo, here's my opinions:
The level is exactly what I remember, at least the geometry, the mutants are scarier than ever, srsly.
now, there are some serious signs of an actual Alpha: The game is far too absurdly dark, there are several places where you're just blind; the lighting is clearly not really done at all. It's a lot darker than the original, and there are so many light sources in the textures and map that don't actually light anything. Item placement is also clearly VERY incomplete, you should really find a ton more stuff. Also, it seems there's no Cyberspace yet.
Keybindings are weird, and changing some of very few options made doors uninteractable.
It's very clearly an alpha, and I don't really mind the issues. It's impressive how you can play the entire level and get to the end at this stage.
So it's System Shock
Well yeah I've beaten both games, SS2 more than once, before there were these adapted to current paradigms versions.
i mean they're rejiggered to be modern but still kinda random. R is not reload, i think it's V or G or something.
And regarding a RE2-like remastar, that's exactly where they were going, and then had to trash it and go back to basics.
