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

I’ve probably played through it 5 times, using different skill trees.
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
Unpopular opinion, but I actually didn’t like Bioshock. Loading it up first time it was initially cool and all, but after a while of playing, I realised it lacked a lot os “somethings” and I only completed it because I’d gotten far enough in, may as well.
Bioshock was a cut down version of the “shock” gameplay - no inventory management, much more linear path, etc.
I remember at the time people complained that it was “dumbed down for console”.
I still enjoyed it though, but I can see why veterans of the genre would feel things are missing or fall short while newcomers would be blown away.
lol i share the unpopular opinion, as well as the downright hated opinion of despising infinite. everyone fell in love with elizabeth while i was thinking “this is the most annoying npc in history.” aside from that the game was meh af
Wow finally some gpod fuckin’ news
With the lights off and playing alone that game was unnerving. I don’t think I ever finished it.
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
Actually, multiplayer is planned for release!
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.
The first games remaster leans on the heavy side of processing. I wouldn’t be surprised if this one needs even more resources.
I got excited for a second until I realized it’s a remaster. Yeah, I don’t really care at that point.
System shock 2 is still a spectacular game
It’s also very easily modded and there are loads of graphical overhauls for it to choose from that bring it to modern levels of pretty, along with QOL tweaks, bug fixes and good balancing changes. Just remaster it yourself 🤷🏻♂️
That’s a bit like saying you can buy flour and bake bread.
Some people are interested in a.product that is immediately ready to use as a simple convenience. Others might be on console that doesn’t offer the origial title or allow mods.
New engines do wonders. Especially for 20+ year old games.
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.
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.
