Default System Shock - January Update

January 23rd, 2021, 09:41
Henriquejr spotted the January Kickstarter update for System Shock:

January Update

Welcome back, Hackers!

We at Nightdive hope you had a great holiday season! Now for some news.

PC pre-orders will open near the end of February on Steam, GOG, and the Epic Game Store. This will be accompanied by the release of our final demo which will include the medical level, cyberspace level, full dismemberment, all newly recorded voice lines, and a ton of additional features and polish. We will still improve on the experience as we get closer to launch so please check it out and share your feedback with us on Discord. The feedback we've received for the previous demos has been invaluable to us and we greatly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. Console versions of the demo will come later.

We'd also like to announce that anyone who pre-orders System Shock remake will receive System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition for free and ALL Kickstarter/Backerkit backers who backed at the $30 level or higher will also be receiving SS2:EE for free. It's our intention to release both System Shock remake and SS2:EE around the same time. SS2:EE has evolved into more than what we were intending. This will be a complete source port to our KEX engine. All the character and weapons models are being remade, and we've received permission from the Shock community to include many of the mods that have become standard for many Shock 2 veterans.

These include:

  • Vurt's Space Textures, Flora, Hi-res Water, Organics/Goo
  • ACC's Four Hundred (400) Hi-res Terrain Textures
  • Eldron's Psi Amp
  • Olfred's Fixed Objects
  • Grosnus' Hi-Res Spinning Marine/Navy/OSA logos
  • SCP
  • SHTUP
  • ZylonBane's New Quest Notifier
  • Vaxquis Vintage Song Remake v1.0 Mod
  • Mercurius' Tacticool Weapon Replacements
[…]

Looking forward to the final demo and finally being able to experience cyberspace.

It's pretty cool that they're giving away SS2: EE to backers and preorders. I wonder what the release date is for that.

I don't follow the development on this, but this update seems to suggest a lot of game assets are donations from modders..?

They're talking about two separate games there. The inclusion of mods is in System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition which is an enhanced re-release not a remake.

Different developer. That was Otherside Entertainment.

You're probably thinking of the System Shock sequel they were working on.
