And yet, somehow, the game still looks old.
The lighting makes a massive difference to the mood, and there are clearly decades of technological advancement on show. And as you can see, the difference is dramatic. To them, I'd hold up images of the original, which I've included in this piece from a quick playthrough earlier. This System Shock remake is an attempt at the answer, and an intriguing one, because I think if you showed it to someone unaware of the original, who was judging it purely in a 2023 context, they'd look at it and wonder what the fuss was about. Coming to PC first in March 2023, Nightdive told me, and consoles will follow later Availability: Demo still available on Steam.If you build it completely anew and reimagine everything, then how much of the original game do you still actually have? Then again, if you don't change enough, how much of a remake is it? System Shock (remake) Terri Brosius, the original voice of Shodan, is returning for the remake, and Nightdive says it has worked closely with other members of the original System Shock development team as well.There's a dilemma to remaking a 30-year-old game, and it's how much do you remake. Our weekend editor Jody described the Shodan reveal in System Shock 2 as one of the great moments in PC gaming a few years ago, and he's not wrong. It was moderately successful, spawning a 1999 sequel (one of my favorite games of all time) and one of the most memorable villains in videogames, the mad machine-god Shodan. Originally released in 1994, System Shock is an early immersive sim that tells the tale of a rogue space station AI in the year 2072. "It will allow us to offer System Shock to fans all over the world, both in digital and physical goods formats, as well as fully honour our commitments to our fans and, in particular, to our thousands of supporters on Kickstarter, without whom this game would have never been possible.”
This is Nightdive's first external publishing deal, and it represents "an important step in the growth of Nightdive Studios," CEO Stephen Kick said.
