Not that much. They did a lot of work on lots of other textures, lightning, entirely new animations of loading, eggs opening and location based damage (!!!) at least with robots, which seems cool. And it seems they did some touch-up even on the textures they actually used.

Also, they fixed the muzzle flash resolution of the original.
And if they finally fixed the co-op multiplayer (the original was kinda hacky and unfinished), that´s a carrot on a stick of its own.
Not to mention release on all the console platforms - so yeah, they did a lot.

And yes, I do hope this one will sell well (SS2 deserves to have a recognition, even years later), and I do hope for a remake AND the SS3 finally.

Thanks for the answer, yeah, here's hoping that I did preorder it, because I honestly forgot if I did or not… Thankfully I don't feel entitled to getting a free sequel for buying the original, so I don't hold it against them if I have to buy it outright instead of getting it for free, sure it sucks, but there are far more shittier things in life to worry about, so more power to them either way!

EDIT: Thinking on this further, it would make no sense to them for giving out a free game for those that didn't preorder it, as the perk would hurt less with preorders than outright purchases as outright purchases number far more than preorders!

*checks page* Location based and they got a few of the modders to do additional work as well? Noice

Here's hoping :)

Yeah, I had been wondering that myself. I bought it on pre-order here on GOG.

Its just the normal NDS discord invite provided:

Oh, I thought you meant the GOG server :P

Thanks for the Nightdive one, though!

Some textures are different but the "remastered" ones are often hardly that much better (I tried to get a shot of the same area, from the same angle, with the same weapon):-

'Remaster' vs Original with texture mod.

I wouldn't exactly say there's been a +500% improvement in graphics to justify that +500% increase in price vs what the mod community did for free a decade ago... ;-)

And some analysis of what was changed...

Agreed. Still, given how much of a "fan" of that game I am I still wants it I do.

Thx :)

Wouldn't that be 200% increase in the price not 500%? Think the percentage is little off.

overpriced ND release

Hi, I preordered System Shock 1.
"Pre-order now and receive System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition for free once it's released!"

will I still get System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition for free

I was comparing the current sale prices (£3.49 vs £21.59).

Which I would second that it is the right thing to do - there is probably no one left that is willing to buy the game outside of a sale.

Around 30€ (without discount) seems to be the standardized price for these remasters, I'd say they're overpriced but not terribly so, I can pay around 20 just fine just to have a version with all the mods baked in, as long as they keep the original feel of the game
