It’s finally up for me and only bloody 40 EUR. That must be the biggest deal I’ve seen in years. What a steal.

I forgot this was getting a console release. I just bought it on sale from Gog for $17.
AREYOUOKAY?

As expected only ONE copy available to buy for Xbox while PS5 had multiple. Luckily I knew that would be the case so I showed up early.

From what I've played so far the game plays and looks very well on the PS5, but:
- it would be nice to have some basic aim assist since the controls are very sensitive to any stick movement
- some text and pad icons can be tiny, the subtitles are opposite of that and they're pretty big
- the game lacks information about the buttons used to organize items the inventory, there was some trial & error involved to learn stuff like dismantling items, it's not like on PC where you can easily figure out to press the rmb
- using the big map is a bit awkward on the controller - you move the cursor with the stick to highlight items and use the dpad to move the map
- the same button is used for interaction and reloading weapons so it's easy to use up batteries for the energy gun even if you didn't want to
Don't get me wrong, the game is still very much playable. I just expected it'll be a little more polished for the consoles considering how many months it's been since the PC release. What I do like is that the quick items bar works very well with pad controls, no complaints there.

This game is dope! Never played the original but I was a huge fan of System Shock 2. It’s tough too, I’m playing on easy and still having to creep my way through. Great to hear Shodan again after all these years.

Bolloks. My TV jumps right to HDR mode when I boot the game.
I just played it for a few minutes and immediately had to force myself to stop. Sooooo good. And it runs butter smooth on the PS5 (ran…. Suboptimal on my old rig). Can’t wait to replay next month.

Never played the original, but I missed out for sure.

Missed out on this one growing up because in 1994 I was too busy playing LucasArts stuff, Carmen Sandiego and Doom II.
And while I do know the history and its influence on the medium, I've never actually seen the game in person aside from some YT vids Ive watched for a few minutes.
Fast forward to last night and I decided to take a first peep at the remake and HOLY SHIT. Like, Ive already been impressed with NightDives work but this just looks fucking incredible (and just what I need after character action with Stellar Blade and romping around Paper Mario). I had no idea these guys were this capable. I always saw them as a team that were real good at cut n dry remasters, not full blown remakes. Im beyond impressed.
Needless to say I just grabbed it on PSN and cant wait to jump in after work

I'm in the same boat, for one reason or another never got around to playing the original or the sequel.
It's only 40 bucks...I even went to gamestop with my son and casually looked at the box.
Purchase imminent.

There is no physical PS4 version, right? Only PS5? Definitely want to own a physical copy regardless. Been trying to get PS4 versions of games that have the PS5 upgrade included.

Probably means you missed a clue in the audio logs and area you haven't explored.

I think it’s fucking awesome so far.
Pretty much the same reaction to it as Colin

Audio logs hold all the answers and steps required to activate panels etc. Some bigger puzzles involve doing various things on different levels of the station or going back to the previous levels.
I actually love that this remake wasn't super modernized and still doesn't just show you an objective marker, turning off any thinking about what should be done next.

This game and IP went completely over my head for the last 30 years, I knew it was very influential and inspired Bioshock, Prey 2017, but never cared to try it for some reason... I tried the demo on Steam and holy shit I was immediately hooked lol.
I decided to go with the console version because of physical realease and the price was the same as the Steam version in my country.
To anyone that played the original, how faithful is it to the 1994 release?

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Very. Same story, and mostly the same level design with very few small changes here and there.
The final boss changed. It was horrible in the original and they managed to make it even worse for the remake. That said, I think they have reworked it for the console re-release, so it might be ok now.

hint 1: explore everything you can in any giver floor before moving on.Yeah i probably should listen again but i have the memory of a goldfish, i should start again i guess
hint 2: THE NUMBERS.

No need, just browse the ones you've already got and pay attention to those mentioning mechanisms, steps or number combinations. The important audio logs are always in the open so it's very likely you've collected them.Yeah i probably should listen again but i have the memory of a goldfish, i should start again i guess

Poppin in to say the level design in this game is so fucking good. Even after not playing for a few days I come back tonight and it’s like I never left the ship. It’s like Medical is already permanently imprinted on the brain piece. I love when games do this

Right? I went to the game expecting an absolute maze, being a remake of such an old game and all that, but in the end, while still being "maze-y", the level design sort of makes sense and you end up memorizing the layout of every level without too much of a problem. It's great.Poppin in to say the level design in this game is so fucking good. Even after not playing for a few days I come back tonight and it’s like I never left the ship.
