As someone who wasn’t alive for System Shock (the original), and who didn’t expect to love the Remaster of it as much as she did…this sequel has me very excited.
A key for the game will also be free for those who pre-ordered the first remaster.
And for System Shock 2, while mods like Rebirth do exist for SS2’s original game, there IS some issues with some ‘choices’ they made!
The Steam page is also here, for anyone wanting Steam over GOG
Anyone else excited for this one?
Speaking of… anyone played the remake? Thinking of picking it up.
Yup! I thought it was a really fun game. I didn’t play the original so I cannot comment on adherence to the source. But as a standalone game I really enjoyed my time with it.
Yeah, the remake was really good, but I’ll warn you, it’s pretty hard. Like, frustratingly hard. And if I remember you can’t change the difficulty mid-game, so you may just want to play it on easier difficulty.
I think the only hard part is trying to figure out what you need to do next, which a walkthrough can help with, if you’re stuck. The combat and puzzles are challenging, but it wasn’t overly difficult, IMO.
I really enjoyed it. First game in a while that could scratch that Prey-itch.
I feel so heartbroken that I never got a sequel to Prey
One day we will get a spiritual successor.
Of the first? Yes! Its incredible. They did such a good job keeping the original game there with lovely new textures.
I haven’t the nostalgia of playing the original at release (or ever), but I really enjoyed System Shock Remake. You won’t regret it! It goes pretty cheap quite regularly on GOG, also
Thanks! I played the original on PC, but now due to lack of a rig, I’m on ps. It’s been just long enough that I’ve forgotten the details, but remember it was a good time. It’ll be like playing it for the first time all over again.
Let us know how you find it! I’d love to hear what you think, after such a long time between play-throughs!
