Forgot the image.

Just got both System Shocks.
Which is better, 1 or 2?
And also are they as incredible and influential as
quirky youtubers want you to think?

I feel like the EE doesn't take into account leaning as a stealth action cus I tried the DOS version again and you can usually peek a corner just enough to shoot a dude and not get shot back because they don't "see" you

Speaking of which,what do you think of System Shock 1,anons?

Speaking of SS1.
Do you think it would be possible to remake an entire section as a Wad for Doom?
Would it play well too?

This is the greatest game of all time

I always loved this magazine ad for the OG System Shock. Not adventure in the traditional fantasy sense, but like, making you feel like you were about to embark on something involving, engaging, and fun.

That's what blew me away about it, along with the fact that the most technically-impressive game I'd seen them put out prior was a revamped port of Turok.

One thing I noticed from demo footage was that they'd removed the log you need to listen to inside the medbay in order to get the door code, instead opting to write it on the wall in blood.

That puts me a little bit on edge, as piecing together the events of the tug-of-war between SHODAN's baddies and surviving occupants of the station is fantastic if you just ignore the VA and read it. Otherwise, though, it looks to stay very true to its roots in my opinion; up to and including their prototyped inventory menu and keeping bits of the old aesthetic along for the ride.

I mean I'll play through it regardless, but I see some reassuring attention to detail so far.

The renewed love it's getting is really nice, and if Night Dive gets greenlit on that then the wave of demand we saw for a couple of years to get System Shock 2 out on GoG and Steam may get a second wind, with Night Dive at the forefront as the most capable and experienced developer for the property. If they can nail this, then I wouldn't mind seeing what they did with System Shock or a spiritual successor in a market that Wolfenstein: The New Order, and more recently Doom, just shook.

i have a feeling night dive will shut this down but who knows maybe they'll reach some kind of agreement i know he was planning co-op and deathmatch stuff

Always thought it was funny that this poster makes System Shock look like an epic adventure across realspace and cyberspace and not the claustrophobic corridor simulator that it is.
