I did not know this was a thing, SS2 is one my fave FPS titles, so hopefully this will be a worthy release.

    amazing game. bioshock was supposed to surpass it but none of them did imo. prey came close much much later. funny though, how the wrench is pretty much the best weapon in all of them

    I’ve probably played through it 5 times, using different skill trees.

      I just want it to still have co-op so I can play with a friend who uses a different skill tree and we can complement our skills.

      It’s pretty funny how much the tone shifts if you play with the co-op mode they added in a later patch. Suddenly, sci-fi horror turns into Benny Hill in space.

      I’m guessing that’s one feature they won’t include in the remaster, haha

    I got excited for a second until I realized it’s a remaster. Yeah, I don’t really care at that point.

      Yeah. Their proper remake of SS1 was excellent and I was looking forward to something similar for SS2. Especially a balancing pass on the skills to make some of them not completely useless.

      Even remaking SS2 on the engine they used for 1 would have been welcome news, but it’s not clear that they’re doing that either.

      I’m kind of in the same boat. SS2 will always be there if I wanted to play it, and a remaster isn’t really making me more or less likely to. But a full remake would be very interesting especially since the studio was so successful with the SS1 remake and it turned out so well.

    Switch is conspicuously absent from the release platforms.

    If I had to guess I would say they are skipping Switch 1 and it will be on Switch 2 when that drops.
