As a bioshock mega fan I feel great shame having not played this yet. Been on my wish list for so long but my backlog is just silly.
It’s 40% off right now (only 20 dollar bucks) and regularly on sale so I have no excuse but I’ve just started dead space remake.
I use https://shodan.io for work regularly and I love this site and the fact they took the name from this game is even better

Ive waited so long ever since the kickstarter that I dont care anymore. Played it for 5 minutes lol
Looking Glass Studios created the immersive sim genre with Ultima Underworld and System Shock way back in the day. Prey 2017 and Bioshock are both descended from those LGS System Shock blueprints. Bioshock was streamlined/neutered for mainstream audiences, but Prey was a true successor.
Be prepared for a hardcore game that doesn't hold your hand, but it's definitely doable.

Prey, but only vaguely. SS Remake is hardcore man. A game from another time. There is literally no hand holding whatsoever. No questlog of any kind. You have to explore and listen to the audio logs to even learn what you have to do… Prepare the guides for the first playthrough. There is no shame in it.
And enjoy this gem. God know when and if we‘ll ever see something like this again.

Oh, and some small tipps:
- Vaporize as much as possible. You will need the money for the upgrades.
- Quick-Save A LOT.
- Save the good weapons for the end. You gonna need em!!
- There are environmental suits that help with the radiation (find em first, don‘t run around without and die 100 times like I did; you can come by but it’s frustrating).

And unless you love backtracking, write down the screen number in the rooms where you destroy the CPU nodes.

I recall they showed they're improving the models and textures too.

I was not aware of this, great news. While I was playing the SS Remake I was wishing that they had remade 2 instead of the first one. SS was great, but I always thought 2 was a much better game.

This games sounds like Stalker games, where quick save is your best friend.

Yea I made the mistake of not doing this early on and lost a lot of progress haha. It was enough to make me stop playing at the time.

This I also have on my playthrough notes but I didn’t want to write it here because it’s kind of an spoiler.And unless you love backtracking, write down the screen number in the rooms where you destroy the CPU nodes.

Set aside 15+ proximity mines for final stretch. Rest can be used up. On normal difficulty.

Prior to Silent Hill 2, System Shock was my GOTY.
An amazing gameplay and narrative experience, made modern.

Game is so good. Just destroyed the mining laser, around 7 hours in (being meticulous). Only 14% of players on PS5 have done it, per the trophy stat. It’s pretty straightforward and you are given clear instructions in audio logs, so that’s a bit surprising. Guess the average gamer can’t handle System Shock.

Most players probably activated it without following instructions, then thought they beat the game. (I did activated it by mistake)
