RELATED: Starfield Protagonist Won't Be A Voiced Character The original game had a suffocating feel to it with tight environments and an unwieldy UI, and, while Nightdive Studios seems to have done a commendable job of updating the game for the twenty-first century, it also seems to have maintained the oppressive, rat-in-a-maze feel that made the first System Shock title so compelling. Its potential magnum opus, however, is set to be a complete remake of the sci-fi RPG title System Shock, and it recently received a new trailer as part of PCGamer’s 2022 PC Gaming Show.Īn eerie, tense, and claustrophobic experience, the forthcoming System Shock title looks to adhere very closely to the source material. From a modernization of Id’s seminal Quake to a fine-tuning of the relatively obscure Shadow Man in the form of 2021’s Shadow Man Remastered, the indie outfit has done an exemplary job of preserving titles on which many gamers would have missed out had they been left to gather dust. Pre-purchasing the game on Steam or GOG will get you the System Shock 2 Enhanced Edition for free when it comes out.Nightdive Studios have earned a reputation for producing stellar remakes and remasters of semi-niche titles form the 1990s. System Shock 2 Enhanced Edition doesn't yet have a release date, but the System Shock remake is less than two weeks away-it's set to come out on May 30. Multiplayer in the Enhanced Edition "has been overhauled to create a seamless experience," Kick said, and will both simplify the process of connecting with other players and provide a smoother and more stable experience. Co-op play was added to the original System Shock 2 in a post-launch patch, and to be blunt it was janky as hell: It was fun to pant and sweat with a couple of friends while running through the corridors of the Von Braun, but it was also a chore to get running and prone to crashing, and not really worth the hassle once the initial novelty wore off. The visuals are the most obvious upgrade but Kick said the biggest difference in the System Shock 2 Enhanced Edition will actually be seen in the game's overhauled multiplayer. In my mind's eye, System Shock 2 has always been sharp and realistically detailed, but when I look at these images I'm forced to acknowledge that perhaps the passage of time is more of a distortion field than I realized. You can see the difference in the before-and-after screens above.
