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?
Sweet, I grabbed system shock 2 free like a decade ago … We’ll get this as an update right…?
Edit: guess not.
After the System Shock 1 Remake getting such rave reviews I was hoping the second game would get the same treatment. Are they not remaking the sequel?
One of my all time favorites. This looks like a real remaster rather than SS1’s remake. Either way looking forward to revisiting the Von Braun and the Rickenbacker.
Speaking of… anyone played the remake? Thinking of picking it up.
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!
Definitely. Immersive sim is a scant genre with some of my favorite games. We need more of them, so its good that the OGs have been getting so much love.
Thanks for sharing this, wishlisted.
The remake of SS1 was so masterfully done i had hoped SS2 would get the same treatment… But this heavy remaster looks like itll do just fine. Thank god itll have controller support.
I really enjoyed playing the first one on a flight, on my Steam Deck. So I’m hoping this next will play just as well!
Oh yeah they are perfect games for the deck! Im sure the sequel will run great too.
Oh yeah.
The night dive remake of System Shock was awesome.
I played the original as a kid and it was just too hard. I also played SS2 and completed that: my gods that was a terrifying game.
I can’t wait.
Lol right? I bounced off ss2 a couple times because it was too scary for younger me. A few years later I got the itch to give it another go, but I had to downgrade my graphics drivers to get it to run on my system so I forced myself to finish it that time lol
