After two decades, Nightdive Studios is rebooting and re-imagining the original System Shock. We will keep the new game true to the classic experience, keeping all the things you loved while giving today's gamers the modern look and feel expected from a AAA title.
With the help of members of the original team, including the original Voice Actor of SHODAN, Terri Brosius, Citadel Station has never been more immersive or terrifying!
You're a renowned hacker, the most notorious cyberspace thief in the corporate world. Caught during a risky break-in, you become indentured to a greedy TriOptimum executive. After six months in a healing coma, you awaken to the twisted aftermath of a terrible disaster. Where are the surgeons? Why is the station in such disrepair? Slowly, the chilling realization that something is very wrong creeps over you. Once a prime corporate research facility, Citadel Station now teems with mindless cyborgs, robots and terribly mutated beings, all programmed to serve SHODAN, a ruthless A.I. There's scarcely time to think before it unleashes the first terror...
I am astounded as how true-to-life this demo is to the original gameplay. It is the port of System Shock that we've all been waiting for.
If you ever played the original, and cursed the awkward keymappings (we all did!), rejoice! The new control scheme feels very natural.
Warm up your lead pipe, it's time to bash some Serv-Bots!
This a game that is announced 5 years ago and looks like that also. Don't get me wrong the game play is fine but the whole game looks dated. I hoop because it’s still in Alpha that they gone use the new unreal engine but for now it look more like a game from 2012. and I miss the real horror element and the use of shadows, but because it is still in alpha I hope that it gone improve. I like it but I’m a little bit worried.
>I love the si-fi retro feel, the art direction is funky, on point, and creative.
>Spoooooky.
>The UI is great, especially since I can remove the annoying compass!
>The map peaks my interest.
>I like the box inventory.
Now for the Ehhhh.....
>I accidentally threw my grenade into a wall instead of equiping it.
>Putting a healing sticker on my arm takes, like, 6 sec! The caution makes senses for the first use, not every use.
>That damn fucking PIPE: Soo short, no feedback, I know it's not the best melee weapon, but still.
>Lastly, I am not sure whether true or not, but please don't tell me that enemies respawn every time!
If you've never played the original game, do so immediately. Admittedly it's hard to overlook the control system, menu system, graphics and audio when viewed through the prism of modern computing, but if you can, play the original. If you played the original but haven't in a long while, go back and play it again.
This remake is amazing, they've almost kept the same feel. Almost. It's really good, don't get me wrong. However, the original has a claustrophobic atmosphere (maybe due to the limited view port and limited definition) that the remake doesn't. The new one seems more open, bright and spacious. Again, not negatives just an observation.
Lastly, the music. Please, please, please keep the original music. Remix, remaster, modernise it... but please keep the original. Again, it might seem dated to have "level music" but it was such a large part of the original it wouldn't be the same without it.
Can't wait for this to be released.
Nice work!
