KickStarter System Shock 1 Remake by Nightdive Studios

AI tech is a serious existential

Don't tell me you believe in AI's achieving sentience and replacing mankind...

It's only a matter of time........

 

[Average Manatee]

Unfortunately, the concerns shown here are "AI is hampering my efforts to become famous drawing furry porn" and not a real discussion on how quickly we are approaching a post-human/transhuman state or extinction.

And these are the people who would love to use AI to make their job easier. If only THEY had AI and no one else it'd be great because they don't actually care about their art or creativity, just being able to sponge enough money off internet autists to eke out a minimal living with next to no effort and contributing nothing to society.

It's only a matter of time........

A LOT of fucking time, if this thread's any indication.

 

[mastroego]

Seems like reality is catching up and about to be released first

Honestly, I'm more worried about the rich using AI to more effectively lord over us in the short term.

Can you imagine an immortal, godlike Bezos? Disgusting.

Yeah that's actually a reasonable fear

 

[Melcar]

As is AI will be used to control narratives and spread disinformation. Keeping citizens confused, scared and fighting each other is the best way to control them.

 

[kangaxx]

Don't get a smart meter for your gas and leccy.

 

[Rocket-Propelled Game]

Remember when Nightdive Studios was actually competent and brought us things like the Turok ports? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Could have stopped there

 

[Rocket-Propelled Game]

Pfft, too right. It's a sad day when industry/genre veterans turn out to not actually have their act together.

 

[Trithne]

They've been working on this thing since 2016 and released several of those ports during that time.

The thing is that it really highlights that NDS are good at making said ports; not so much making a game from scratch, even with a pre-existing design to go off.

In particular, avoiding scope creep, or in their case scope sprinting, they got all sorts of crazy ideas about the remake that went way over their skill level and budget.

 

[Rocket-Propelled Game]

Tenbux says System Shock 3 is about SHODAN hatching a diabolical plan to turn the entire interwebz into one big Dogecoin mining farm.

It involves opening an OF.

Extremely not sure if want.

 

[Russia is over. The end.]

Is there anything of Avellone left in it at this point?

 

[ciox]

Fader offered that while the story remains beat-for-beat, the team had added Chris Avellone to change some of the dialog and to fix some of the plot holes from the original game.[12]

Audiologs were confirmed to be kinda different already. Did the plot really need fixing? No idea, but if it did change in some way, it might be Avellone's magic hands at work.

In June 2020, when asked if Chris Avellone was still involved with the game after sexual misconduct allegations arose previously, CEO Stephen Kick revealed that Avellone had not been involved with the game since 2017 and that Nightdive had gone in a different direction with the game's writing after restarting development of the game in 2018.[18].

Meanwhile this implies everything Avellone did was baleeted.

 

[LarryTyphoid]

Can't wait for the audiologs to have a lesbian romance sub-plot

CODE COMPLETE: SYSTEMS ONLINE​

‘Goes Gold’ And Releasing On PC 08:00 PDT 30 May 2023​

17:00 CEST 9 May 2023 : Prime Matter and Nightdive Studios announced today that the full-fledged remake of the ground breaking System Shock from 1994 has ‘gone gold’.

In 21 days, players will be treated to developer Nightdive Studio’s stunningly-faithful recreation of the classic shooter/immersive sim — launching digitally for Windows PC on Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store on May 30, 2023, at 08:00 PDT/17:00 CEST.

The System Shock remake combines the cult gameplay of the iconic original game with all-new HD visuals, updated controls, an overhauled interface, and all-new sounds and music. Never-before-seen enemies, quality-of-life gameplay tweaks, a revamped hacking system, and visceral new combat options featuring a brutal dismemberment system also await players new and old.

A legion of hostile and mutated creatures — created and controlled by the delightfully villainous SHODAN herself — await players as they make their way through Citadel Station's all-new areas, flexing their puzzle-solving skills and hacking prowess to reach new sectors of the station.

Players will also encounter traps, puzzlesand secrets in their pursuit of (hopefully) defeating SHODAN once and for all. A combination of stealth, cunning, and futuristic weaponry will be required to survive. When the System Shock remake arrives, players' puzzle-solving and survival skills will be put to the test.

Nightdive Studios worked closely with many of the members of the original System Shock team, including the voice of SHODAN, Terri Brosius.

The PC edition of System Shock is available to pre-order via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store and includes a free copy of the upcoming System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition for all early buyers.

Console editions of System Shock will release on PlayStation 4|5 and Xbox One and Series S|X in due course; more details will be shared in the future.

took em long enough

 

[LarryTyphoid]

Very sad that many casuals who think SS1 is too old for them will play this inferior remake and believe that they are getting an authentic System Shock experience.

This implies they're bad in the head and their rewrites will be terrible. I lost all appetite for this remake.
