But a kickstarter should try to gather as much support as possible, isn't that the concept?
If they get support, they might as well aim for funding from the big boys. I wonder if these companies see crowdfunding as a marketing tool..
The original was cool yeah.
From dev on Twitter:
Please add this to the OP

LOL
Bahahaha
Well, we have angry people with only a PS4...and this hopefully sarcastic other angle.
Isn't it more fun to see people wishing for the game to fail? /s
What a nice elitist attitude.
YOU AREN'T ALLOWED TO PLAY THIS GAME IF ITS NOT ON SOMETHING I DON'T LIKE.
I got in the kickstarter before that and they were already gone.

Well in that case then your boy Yu should have put Shen Mue on Xbox also not just "Sony" as you put it so they got as much support as possible, isn't that the concept?

Yeah not going to support this if there's no version I want to play. That's a no brainer. Good luck Nightdive.

What a terrible attitude.

If this was PC only it would still make its goal.
See now this makes sense and a reasonable reason not to back it. If you only have a PS4 and don't game on PC then it makes sense not to back it unless you just want to support the dev.
Hopefully they add PS4 to the list once Sony reaches out to them (which is bound to happen).

What time is it?
Yup. I'll just pick it up once it hits a store front.
From dev on Twitter:
The attitude and responses here make me sigh. Especially when people assume it's the devs fault for not putting it on a certain platform.
Backed.

Some of the fanboy war stuff in this thread is shocking.
I hope they succeed and then they will be able to port the game on PS4, calm down.

TBF, I would play this on PC anyway to get the full 1990s nostalgic experience.
From dev on Twitter:
I'm that case, it is short sighted by the dev not to have approached Sony to at least have initial discussions. It should be simple enough to get access to PS4 devkits, and if they're developing on PC and Xbox the cost of a PS4 version would be relatively low for relatively high return. They could gen hide the PS4 version behind a stretch goal to cover the anticipated additional costs to reduce the risk.
This is likely moot, as I expect they'll room past their target pretty damn quickly

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
I will back this so hard when I get home.

This isn´t called Remaster, they´ve said it´s a reboot simply called System Shock.
Prob not gonna fund it cuz Im not really into KS these days, but I am really hoping this can become a great product. System Shock is an awesome IP and Nightdive seems really passionate about it, best of luck to them
So if this is a huge hit, Im sure Sony will approach them. And a PS4 port will sure bring more backers

Yeah, that's pretty absurd. I get that they need to get as much as they can out of the campaign, but when their goal is 900k, 300 is laughable. That's basically just there to draw your eye to $25 and then pull the rug under you with the actual $30 pledge.
Maybe they did reach out to Sony and MS and only MS approached them after?
Honestly who knows, I'm pretty sure the dev didn't sit around waiting for them to approach them without even going live, they had to inform MS of this in order for MS to know it was happening to provide said dev kits.
Official site still calls it Remastered. :3

In for 50. I don't physical items, just want that sweet, sweet 90's game ether.
And I doubt Sony will do anything. They are winning, so why would they bother with PC-bred indies?

Wouldn't you want to check about that dev kit before launching a kickstarter? This statement just seems odd to me.
If you don't back this, you may never see PS4 edition. They said they're open for other platforms once this meet the goal. Don't be salty just because there's no PS4. Shenmue 3 isn't coming to XB1 (my preference system) but I still backed it. Do it for everyone, not just you.
With the track record of kickstarter, especially video games, this is just bad advice. There's plenty you can do to increase awareness of a kickstarter and help something get funded even if you don't want put your own money in. This is one step above the old "if you don't buy game X we won't know how much demand there would be for game X2" that companies like to dangle in front of us.
It really does say that
"A modern take on System Shock, a faithful reboot; its not Citadel Station as it was, but as you remember it."
title change please

Ridiculous that the early bird special is sold out.

Is that why System Shock: Enhanced Edition has support for controllers?
Edit: Actually, I may be mismembering a mod for official support.
Capcom gave us a finger in RE7 Demo, Nightdive gave us an entire, useless body. Someone should open a thread asking "What's the body for?".
Nah, I don't think so. The major problem I see at the moment is the game being focused on pixel hunt, and with a pad that can be a problem.

I hope it's not dumbed down for consoles too much :/
