Well at any rate, that's a bit encouraging.
Do you know the differences between Xcom 2 and SS?
Eh, I have have a feeling that's more to do with the overly complex interface. With modern UI and controls I think it could adapt pretty well to a controller.

I don't know. With my Macbook pro mid2014 it'll probably be a slideshow :/

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
As someone who never played SS1: Why?
Not sure if it is mentioned in the KS, but Nuerath is apparently involved in this remake as well according to the update on Underworld Ascension.
New "How can he keep getting away with this!" gif?
Heh went through the demo with that in the background, and then this from SS2.
And ugh demo crashed lol. I want to finish it! D:
If you have the confidence in the development following through with respect to the original PC version and how it plays. My point being - specific to that comment, it is a fair enough reason not to back something, as opposed to the notion of "I don't like x platform therefore I won't back it", which is just stupid.

Don't have a XB1 and I'm fairly sure my Mac won't run it.
Good luck but I can't help with donating without knowing if I'll ever be able to play the finished product!
Hope it's awesome once done!

Funniest kickstarter video I've ever seen.
Looking forward to this. I hope they reach there stretch goal so they include VR support. That would be awesome.
The devs are great. The remake of Turok was awesome. The only negative is the Unity engine. I hope they move to UE4 soon.

They won't switch engine now, that seems like a really bad idea.
Turok isn't a remake.
It IS a very bad idea to switch engines at this point. Honestly Unity 5.3/5.4 is pretty good so as long as they are using that it's fine.
It was a throwaway snarky remark because Xcom 2 originally was OC only and one reasons cited was the unsuitability of the UI for consoles. And now it's coming to consoles.
I've never played any system shock games so it wasn't meant as anything more than that. Although looking at examples of the original UI, I think minecraft could be an example of how a drag and drop inventory management system can be brought to console and work well. And it doesn't have to compromise the PC version.
Also worth bearing in mind that some of us might just be crazy enough to want the option to play on PC with a controller

I paid good money for this Dynex!
No, people were happy.
SS series has drag and drop inventories and selectable UI options
It would have to be redesigned to work for controller
demo UI currently looks like this
UI options are gone
inventory is full screen
that's something that would work for controllers but would be annoying for mouse and keyboard
The controller doesn't even work in the inventory or game options menu for me anyway, so it's pretty broken with a controller anyway. You have to reach for your mouse to even use the inventory, not too bad at my desk computer, a pain on the HTPC. It's pre-alpha though, so not really a huge deal so long as it's remedied.
I don't really see the problem with people saying they won't back a Kickstarter in a thread about said Kickstarter when they wouldn't be able to play the game given the supported platforms. Granted, it needs to be done in a non-incendiary way though, and begging for the whole thing to fail is stupid. One thing annoying about Kickstarter is not having anywy through the kickstarter page to pass feedback like that along to the dev, so they know, hey, you're losing out on funding not supporting said platform.

Thanks for the info! Doesn't sound too promising for my Macbook, unfortunately.

Missed your post with the new page. I see what you're saying. I think there was mention of K&M support for XB1 coming but no one should hold their breath. Hopefully it's modified either way to work.
And thats one of the first things Spector put as a prerequisite for the game to work today.

What's your CPU? I'm getting between 70fps to 90fps on the same GPU with a i7 3770/16GB RAM. Still quite big drops, but it's not gone near 50 for me.

One coder? Wow. This seems like a lot of work for 5 guys. God luck!

They are. They mentioned that it uses 'Dynamic Global Illumination'.

Well as someone who has never touched the System Shock games but always wanted to, I enjoyed that demo. It was enough to get me to back it at $30 and it left me wanting to know the story of this station. I have such a soft spot for games like this. The UI, movement, combat, and interactions are all very old feeling but not in a bad way I thought. For whatever reason, I really enjoyed right clicking on things in the environment and the way the text comes up. Good stuff. Cool to see a remake stick seemingly very faithfully to the original. I hope the final product turns out great.
Needs to be reposted so that all of the misinformed people can get an understanding as to why the selection of platforms is the way it is.From dev on Twitter:

Copy--pasted from the now-closed demo thread:
Performance is terrible for me with a single GTX 970. Steam's FPS overlay shows 60-70 FPS, but it feels like 30 or below. I hope to god they make the full game perform better, but since it's running on the Unity engine I won't hold my breath...

Bro. It's a kickstarted that launched today for a game that wont launch for at least one and a half years.
Better panic.
It's a proof of concept demo made by 4 dudes. They are obviously going to put some time in to optimizing the final product.
Just so we're clear, the textures in this demo are not from the original game. They're new ones made in a relatively low resolution and left unfiltered.
The original game said:
Like the game, despite its engine. Maybe their current version is doing something totall crazy, like no culling at all, but it feels all around sluggish and the frame pacing is horrid. It makes Dreamfall Chapters look fluid.
I wouldn't care if a clearly superior engine was not available for the same price point.
