![]() System Shock was kickstarted back during what felt like a resurgence of the genre, and now it's being released when the genre is again resting. Dishonored, Deus Ex, Thief and Prey all lie fallow, and Deathloop - Arkane's announced in-development game - looks like a different sort of thing. No, not because we can all relate to being trapped in a small space while a virus runs rampant, but because there's seemingly little else happening with the immersive sim genre at the moment. In some ways though, 2021 feels like a good year for it to come out. Nightdive Studios takes another step toward releasing the long-awaited System Shock remaster, opening pre-orders and releasing its final demo. Nightdive have had a bumpy time in developing the System Shock remake, as the project initially grew in ambition and ended up being rebooted. The demo is available from Steam, GOG and Epic. They're substantial, including a cyberspace level, the ability to save, adjustable difficulty, and voice acting for SHODAN, the game's beloved villainous AI you can hear in the trailer above. There's also a new trailer, as the game gears up for a planned release this summer.Ī Kickstarter update lays out some of the new content in the demo versus the one released in May last year. This game will not succeed unless it is as playable as, say Deus Ex: MD or Bioshock Infinite.There's a new and final demo available now for System Shock, Nightdive's remake of the immersive sim classic. Today, there are many examples of control schemes that don't get in the way of the game. Both SS1 and BioForge controls turned out to be utterly atrocious so I never bothered to play through them. I bought the original SS1 + BioForge + Wing Commander 3 bundle way back. Nighmarish controls was one of the worst things about PC gaming in 90th and one of things remake should not follow.Īgree with this so much. it was a nightmare, because pc developers refused to understand that more is not always better and that one button can actualy be context sensetive and perform dozen of actions depending on context. You had over 9000 binds and have to spend week or two learning all the buttons and combos of button to effectively control a lot of games. Original was very clunky even on keyboard, like almost all PC games of 90th. Can't imagine trying to solve some of the puzzles efficiently with a controller.
