System Shock Demo

It's a pretty faithful remake of the original. The animations for inplants or some new equipment aren't really that annoying or common, so it's still just you playing with Shodan on the Citadel station. I think the visuals are pretty fitting at the moment, they're vary unusual, colorful, and interesting. The puzzles might get a bit annoying now, because of the controls. They don't appear in a pop up window that you can hover over with the cursor, but are actually present in the world. Some people might like that, it looks a bit better, and the wire puzzle is much easier now... not sure, if there gonna be puzzle difficulty options as were in the original. Overall I really enjoyed it, and I am definitely hyped now. Just hope they're gonna drastically improve opimization, though. Most of the demo ran relatively fine, but it got really bad by the end. I wen't into these two rooms in Beta, and pretty much lost all the framerate... luckily I had the whole floor already cleared and wanted to head straight for the elevator where the demo ends. I'm so curious about seeing the other floors now, and a working cyberspace... and getting a laser sword and the movement augmentation. Gods...

I enjoyed it quite a bit. I didn’t have any crashing issues. My frame rate was fine, and my computer is over five years old and nothing spectacular. I’m a huge fan of SS2 and this reminds me of a lot of the things that made that game possibly the best of all time.

I like what I see. I don't like what I hear quite as much. It looks nice so far, and the mechanics feel pretty good. Framerate was fine, no crashes, no errors that I experienced. Excited to see how this turns out. The music has nothing on the original, though.

Pretty rad. Enemies a little stiff and their hair's physics are strange at times, but overall a great experience. Looking forward to the full release!

I really enjoyed the thoughtful, faithful re-creation the developers have built. I been a video gamer since Pong was first released (I'm strictly PC player now) and played the original SS when it came out--this looks like I saw it in my head way back in 1994! The look and feel bodes well for capturing the original's atmosphere, the pipe & sparq weapons have weight to them so I was immersed after leaving the 'closet'! I've played the original and several DOSbox versions and I want to play this one all the way through right now. I ran through the demo a few times and grew more anxious that I couldn't continue playing each time! That is a great sign! As with any reboot there are bound to be comparisons to the original, but this one may suffer unfairly because the original influenced SO MANY games that came after it. Not just its lineage (System Shock 2, Deus Ex, Bioshock, etc.) but its spiritual successors, including Half Life, Dead Space and the rebooted Fallout series. Due to the incredible feat of design by Looking Glass & Origin in 1994 some elements may seem 'been there-done that' to many. But give credit where it's due! Nightdive will certainly be seeing my money and I'm recommending this every one I know and to you, dear reader, too!
