Completely Missing the Point
Never has a demo or teaser more quickly turned me off a potential game. Before I can really get into the thick of why this is such a miserable travesty, we have to first understand WHY System Shock 1 was so amazing at the time. Taking Ultima Underworld and transferring it to a sci-fi setting, SS1 did things like having places look like what they were supposed to be (the med-bay looked like a med-bay), an incredibly uncommon thing in 1994, the ability to jump and grab onto ledges, stunning atmosphere for the time, an innovative and compelling storytelling method (the audio logs provided exposition while maintaining an atmosphere of isolation). But that was all great back in 1994, now it's bog standard stuff. What this remake seems to be, is a literal 1:1 remake, they have the same damn textures except redone for true 3D environments for God's sake. Why would I want to play a remake of a game that seems to do nothing to modernize the game? Am I supposed to slog through 1994 quality level design? 1994 quality enemy design? 1994 quality encounter design? There is absolutely no reason to remake something in such a redundant way. It feels like crap, the combat is floaty and the feels utterly unsatisfying, just like the original. The enemies look stupid at best and completely laughably goofy at worst. Why do the robots still look like stupid Lost in Space Robby the Robot knock-offs? Why the hell would I play what amounts to nothing but a visual revamp of a game that has aged, to put it quite frankly, incredibly poorly? System Shock 2 completely outclassed its predecessor, and Ultima Underworld inspired games like Deus Ex are just plain better in every way. I don't get it, maybe some ubernerds who pretend they actually enjoy suffering through games that have aged like fine diarrhea will herald this as some kind of "proper remake" but developers should look at the GameCube remake of Resident Evil, or hell, the new DooM as the proper way to do it. This is a joke.
Hilft dir das weiter?
