Oh em gee, brilliant news.

I'd be up for playing that. I know I should have done, but I have failed to play the original

Yes, I saw this a while ago and thought about posting it on here. I think they're in the process of making the Turok games as well. They did a good job with Strife, too.

Strife got remade?!?!?

FrenchTart · 12 Nov 2015 at 15:35

I've also not finished the original. I missed the boat when it first came out and even with the various mods to improve it I just couldn't past how aged and clunky the interface was. Hopefully this will mean I can enjoy it now

I loved playing this, looking forward to a new/updated version!

Yeah that was basically my issue with it too. It's like dark forces was one of my favorite games ever, but no way I'd play it now, not even for a nostalgia trip.

Yep, take a look on Steam.

I find I can still enjoy even the most dated looking games if I played it when it released, but find it hard to play a dated looking game i haven't played before. So this will be great for me if they do it justice as I am always hearing how great a game it is.

It's right up my street as I love space horrors. Alien Isolation was the first game in a long while that I thoroughly enjoyed.

This.

This is probably my all time favourite game - I just finished replaying SS2 over the summer - still great.

I've never heard of Night Dive but from what I've read they seem committed to the brand and passionate about the SS series so that's good.

I simply cannot believe a company I have never heard of has finally bought the complete rights and, effectively, sorted out that entire mess.

Looks like they don't feel big enough to do a full sequel quite yet though

It sounds like a release may be quite a ways off judging by the article. That may give me time to actually start and finish SS2 that I bought from GOG a while back.

Looking very nice.

OldComputerGuy7 · 15 Mar 2016 at 02:36

Looking great i was not expecting something that good to be honest.

I have never played the first one but played the second many times so looking forward to this.

I'll probably pick this up when it is released because I missed the originals.

Call me boring but my default desktop has been an image of a certain malevolent AI for the last 15 years or so!

Rifte · 15 Mar 2016 at 06:45

System Shock 2 is one of my all time favourite games.

I have not played the original. Well....I tried, but the graphics were too basic even for what I was expecting. I suppose I am missing out. This looks great though!

arc@css · 15 Mar 2016 at 07:17

Thanks for posting that video. Stunning. :cool:

I never played the first game and don't wish to play the enhanced edition; I'm saving myself for this and will buy on release day!

shamus21 · 15 Mar 2016 at 07:21

yep sign me up.

FrenchTart · 15 Mar 2016 at 08:15

The mutants look a little bleh but that's such a minor thing that I feel a bit dumb even bringing it up. This is a definite purchase from me.
