PS4 is going to be a stretch goal right? I think I read that somewhere
In for the CE if it comes to console

I thought I kept missing it while scrolling lol. Thank you.
6/28 12 Pacific.
I couldn't help but think "really Polygon?" while watching that bit.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Ah, quality Polygon aiming from the Doom video is back!
The game itself looks awesome, though. I can imagine it being even more fun for competent players.

When is the demo playable?

This looks amazing
But on the flipside, those corridors seem very boxy and kind of same-y. How varied were the areas in the original game? Never played it

The areas in the original game were quite varied as you progressed through the different levels of Citadel Station. Some sections of the game as you see in the footage so far are quite claustrophobic which really helps add to the tension.

To be fair, the original game was pretty much in the same environments you see here except for Cyberspace which was kind of its own thing. The deeper you got into the Citadel, the more things changed.

Putting out a demo so close after the MN9 desaster is a very smart thing.
That is what I was looking for as well. Could not find any info yet. Waiting for the Kickstarter campaign. If it's a stretch goal, I'm in.

Do we know how much the final game will be?
Admittedly I have never played the original game, however I've seen bits and pieces of it over the years. I recall the environments varying quite a bit in terms of art. Not really sure in terms of design though.

Lmao
Game looks bloody amazing tho!

Shooters back then generally used tiles for their maps, which is why games like DOOM and its derivatives always had floors and walls at right angles to one another. SS's engine was far more sophisticated and allowed for things like ramps and bridges, but it's still tile-based and ergo very blocky.
Not yet, but I'd guess $30 or $40, early bird deals aside. It's a modern remake of a full-length game, after all.

So the kickstarter is 24 hours from now?

Time to put out my old SS CD-Rom to get into the mood for this remaster. Looks amazing so far. Hope they can recreate the tensions and feeling of oppression like the original game did. System Shock will be forever my favorite game series. So many good memories, so many great moments. Heck, I even had a cabin where I've always hide myself if I needed a small break from all the action (and to listen/read some audio-logs calmly). You know that one particular place where you would go to and settle if you're caught in the video game. In SS it was this one small cabin with a single window with excellent view to the stars. Dunno why but I'll always remember that lovely cabin lol (it's on level 2 so I probably have to wait for the full remaster ^^)

The Recommended look a tad high, I must say. Not shockingly, and probably to be expected if it comes out closer to 2018, but still.

A 280 is high?

The guy was clearly playing with a gamepad and there's not any kind of aim assistance enabled.

I haven't played the game since 2008 or so, and so my memory of the exact layouts might be a little bit off, but to me the areas in the demo seem to be nearly 1:1 copies of the original design.
I don't even meet the minimum. RIP

I don't think he is. The movement looks like mouse movement.
290 and yeah, since that puts it above Witcher 3 I would say so. I mean, I guess it depends on what they mean to say with "recommended settings". Probably not "1080p with middling settings".

i'm amazed that they have this much gameplay already! So many Kickstarters only sell dreams and hopes of concept art without hiring a single programmer

Well that video looked fantastic. Modern, but still close enough to refrain mind me of the original. I've been really impressed so far everything with everything they've showed.
To be fair this is not a remaster. This is more like a remake, no? Looks stunning. Wow with those min specs.
Don't want to drive by, but can't stand this kind of comment, really, and the trend started with the Polygon Doom video shaming is best nipped in the bud. The whole idea that super skilled player have more "fun" with a game (or that competence and fun are somehow related in general) is neogaffish, dumbfounded drivel, as the idea that one could judge a game only when being able to perform like a pro in it.
On a side note: in that gif case, I can totally see player panic in the confrontation as intended in a situation like this. Seems more immersive than Capt Neogaf headshotting the creature in one sec. Seems exactly what I would like to see as a dev, honestly. My 2 cents, of course.
