I am still amazed that this is getting a remake and it looks rather well in my estimation.

epmode · Nov 25, 2015

I kinda love Night Dive. If System Shock 3 ever happens, the series is in good hands.

edit: Maybe give it to the guys making Underworld: Ascendant? Lots of ex-Looking Glass people are there and they just signed the art director of Thief, System Shock 2, Bioshock and The Last of Us. I don't even care that it would mean a scaled-back project compared to AAA releases.

Bl@de · Nov 25, 2015

Looks fantastic. On the wishlist you go

ashecitism · Nov 25, 2015

woah, already

they're slider pics, don't know how to link those

but there's this

Tagyhag · Nov 25, 2015

Can't wait to see

SHODAN in cyberspace

.

"Look at you, hacker: a pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?"

BasilZero · Nov 25, 2015

Looks great!

Havent played my copy of the 2nd one yet but this remake looks great.

They also recently re-released the first one (original ver) on PC.

Sinatar · Nov 25, 2015

Wow it's looking like a 1 to 1 remake, this is very exciting.

vocab · Nov 25, 2015

Damnnn. This is awesome.

HooYaH · Nov 25, 2015

That is some heavy CA. Turn that shit off.

Wow, the chromatic aberration really should be dialed down a bunch. This is ridiculous...

The Elite · Nov 25, 2015

This is happening all rather quickly.

Agreed. At least it's a PC game so we can probably force it.

Lanrutcon · Nov 25, 2015

Yeesssss. This could be good. I hope they maintain the original's mechanics.

Those aren't embeddable outside of the site as they're built using Autotune (which has been open sourced)

Game looks pretty rad, huh?

thesuperfunk · Nov 25, 2015

Cannot wait!

Corpekata · Nov 25, 2015

Didn't expect to see progress already. Didn't feel real to me before, felt like something that was on the docket but still being worked out.

Yeah, pretty cool tbh.

Durante · Nov 25, 2015

Looks much better than I expected honestly, very close to the original design but greatly improved visually.

Alcoholikaust · Nov 25, 2015

This pleases me greatly.

mysteriousmage09 · Nov 25, 2015

It looks great. Except for the god awful CA.

Danneee · Nov 25, 2015

I need a new computer,

Miles Quaritch · Nov 25, 2015

Looks fantastic,but I thought System Shock IP rights were in limbo?

CMDBob · Nov 25, 2015

Wow, I'm loving the look of this... Can't wait to see more, really.

(Just hope there's an option to turn off the chromatic abberation, or a slider to alter the amount even, it's a teensy bit much atm.)

I wonder if they're gonna have dynamic music or not...

EDIT:

IIRC, Night Dive managed to completely buy the rights to System Shock, so they now own the franchise.

Not anymore, Night Dive owns System Shock outright now.

Night Dive sorted them out over the past couple years. That's why they got released on GOG and Steam.

Night Dive bought it. Talks about SS3 have begun, but they're going to need outside help for that.

Mr. Tibbs · Nov 25, 2015

Groovy! Much better than I expected. Keep up the awesome work, Night Dive (P.S. please find a way to release Requiem: Avenging Angel).

Well, they are working on quite a bit right now.

Fantastic news.

They have a direct line to my wallet if they ever decide to remake System Shock 2 and eventually push ahead with SS3.

Driw3r · Nov 25, 2015

Looks good. Finally i will know what's all the fuss about.

Jackpot · Nov 25, 2015

Seems to be using the exact same flat geometry and giant buttons. Not really what I think when I hear remake.

Occam · Nov 25, 2015

Neat. I have fond memories of the original, which I played 20 years ago.

freeofgreed · Nov 25, 2015

When is this suppose to drop? Was planning on playing the second sometime soon and skipping the first since I heard it was pretty dated but I'll play this if it comes out pretty soon.

Tapejara · Nov 25, 2015

Never played these games - though I do own System Shock 2 on Steam - so I'm quite excited to play this. Outside of PC have any platforms been announced?.

Head.spawn · Nov 25, 2015

Excellent.

doctorcdcs · Nov 25, 2015

Wow

wow, wow, wow. I look forward to this. It also makes me realize that I'm really glad that I played and finished the original not too long ago. I'll be able to look at see how the remake handles things differently and appreciate it (or dislike it lol).

MrCompletely · Nov 25, 2015

System Shock is close to my heart, but I wish they would update the architecture a little more, I think the first game looks a certain way because of the technology of the time, and they are awkwardly bringing too much of that geometric level design forward.

From the original article on Fast Company:

Part of the plan for this remake also includes a console version, which would be a first for Night Dive. Kuperman believes much of the company's future growth will come from creating console adaptations for more PC games, along with some ports for mobile devices.

K.Jack · Nov 25, 2015

HOW THE FUCK DID I MISS THIS MNEDKDMFMGMBM

When was this announced? I thought the right to the IP was lost in litigation hell.

My #1 GOAT is getting remade. I can't breath.

edit: Oh wow Night Dive sorted it out.

Gurgelhals · Nov 25, 2015

The far more important question than how it's going to look is: Are they re-using the old voices or are they re-recording them and, if they're doing the latter, are they Terri Brosius back to do the voice of SHODAN? Because as much as I love System Shock, I sure as hell won't buy it if they won't.

Bishop89 · Nov 25, 2015

This an official remake?

The have said here that console versions are planned.

h0tp0ck3t · Nov 25, 2015

This looks so good!

Ryaaan14 · Nov 25, 2015

It looks...underwhelming

I was hoping they would pull out all the stops for this but it just looks like a remaster

ashecitism · Nov 25, 2015

They now own the IP.

Gaogaogao · Nov 25, 2015

Nice

graphics look good and the hud is less cluttered.

I dont think the hud needs to be curved though...

blamite · Nov 25, 2015

Damn, that looks awesome. Never played either of the originals, but I absolutely love the aesthetic of the new version.
