Fantastic. Hopefully the SS2 remake lands on consoles day 1.

Physical?

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Great to see. Fingers crossed for a physical release down the road, too!

 

[GutsOfThor]

I've always wanted to play this! Fuck yes!

 

[Con_Z_ǝdʇ]

I hope they did their homework with implementing an efficient control scheme for consoles and have a streamlined approach for vaporizing junk on top.

Otherwise, game of the year 2023 drops within the next two months on consoles. Pretty exciting.

 

[LordCBH]

Sign me UP!

 

[Killer8]

One of the best remakes i've played. It basically invalidated the need to ever play the janky original again.

 

[Ulysses 31]

Great to see. Fingers crossed for a physical release down the road, too!

Should've gone in on the kickstarter with 150$ for that.

 

[JimmyRustler]

To live to see the day… Double dip day 1 for support.

Everyone who wants real, non casual games…. Play this game. The game gives you as little guidance as there is. Had to use a guide several times when I was playing it on PC. Vital directions on what to do in some random audio files? Check. The game doesn’t care.

Don't really like buying CE and this is for PC. Will wait for a potential PS5 physical release.

 

[RDaneelOlivaw]

I waited so many years for this to release, backed the kickstarter in the prehistoric age ... then it finally releases last year in such a horrible technical state I just gave up even attempting to play it. Left such a bad taste that I just totally gave up on anything related to this studio.

 

[darrylgorn]

Looking forward to the controller compatibility update for PC.

 

[Sentenza]

Fantastic. Hopefully the SS2 remake lands on consoles day 1.

I mean, hopefully the SS2 remake lands ANYWHERE, since it doesn't currently exist.

They did tease it last year

Here’s a first look at ‘System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition’

With its long-awaited System Shock remake slated to arrive later this month, Nightdive Studios has shared a first look at the System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition.

Art direction looks top tier.
Tastefully adding just enough visual pizzazz without diluting the aesthetic and tone of the original.

 

[Corian33]

Great game, beat it a couple months ago. Like others said, it requires you to actually pay attention to the information you are given. There was one thing that was extremely annoying

Spoiler

if you didn’t know about collecting the code numbers as you went through the game, you had to backtrack through the entire game to write down a few numbers. Totally killed the momentum building up to the finale.

Otherwise fantastic experience!

Just a remaster

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Dualsense integration?

 

[McGILLAZ]

Physical?

Probably via LRG....BARF

Something weird going on with this game. The developer (Nightdive) has been sitting on the 1.2 patch for PC for about 6 months now, adds cloud saves and a huge list of improvements, of which the release notes already exist. However Prime Matter (the publisher) won't release the patch for whatever reason. They won't say why, but it sounds like the 2 companies do not get on very well.

Hope PS4/XBO physical copies won't be left out. It would be one of the last physical hurrahs for my PS4 Pro and i loved the original, so here is hoping.

Wow! I truly am shocked.

 

[WitchHunter]

Did they include the original music/sound effects by Greg LoPiccolo and Tim Reis?

 

[FoxMcChief]

Another remake.

Another purchase.

Fuck. I wanted to complain, but I’m a part of the fucking problem, lol.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Definitely picking this up

I read they will release the patch the day the console versions are released to give all players the same experience at once. Why? Don't know.

It’s a real remake though and a very good one at that.

 

[Skifi28]

Dualsense integration?

I'm afraid that developer will only support up to the dualshock 3.

 

[West Texas CEO]

I've seen the day when gamers wonder if a game release gets a physical release, lol

 

[Scotty W]

I want a Switch port! Arrgh!

 

[EDMIX]

SlimySnake They still out here with PS4 and XONE versions lol

Maybe its because it was in development for a while and not like a next gen only type thing

 

[Redneckerz]

Despite unofficial box arts for physical PS4/XBO versions, Engadget reports that these will be a digital-only affair on PS4/XBO:

The System Shock remake finally hits consoles on May 21

Nightdive Studios’ remake of System Shock hits consoles on May 21. It’ll be available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, after arriving for PCs last year.

Such a shame. As impressive as it is to see 10 year old hardware getting pretty big releases, darn it i wish this was physical.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Am in day 1.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Finally, I played the PC version and loved it. Absolutely double dipping to support the studio (and to play this gem again).

 

[March Climber]

Just a remaster

Hope it has a console release.

 

[Gusy]

No reviews or impressions on consoles? This should be available around midnight, right?

 

[lh032]

omg omg i cant wait im waiting for this for a long time im hungry for a survival horror game now

 

[Rob_27]

Not available on store to preorder yet only says Just announced.

Apparently purexbox gave it a 9 while pushsquare gave it a 6…(read into that want you want).

thanks.. seems that it runs and looks fine on PS5... thats all I needed to know

 

[intbal]

Some video of Series X version, including FPS measurement.



I'm not sure I like their visual choices. Although I suppose it doesn't matter because I didn't like the original game when I played it on PC a lifetime ago.

 

[Duchess]

 

[adamsapple]

Have they made any additional accomodations for the console versions, besides the controller support?

 

[SHA]

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

Only $40? Is 4k and 60 fps? Count me in!
