I can't watch the whole thing right now but I'd find it really hard to believe they would get anywhere near close to how awesome SS1 is. I read a while back they will not be including the original music into this, leaving me with the same question in mind. SS1 OST is THE SHIT.
Art looks interesting, which is nice because they could have done a lot worse, but I'm not sure if I'd prefer something a bit more simple.

Originally they were going to do a Bioshock style orchestral strings, that’s what the demo had. They got community pushback on that the art direction. So I think iirc that the music is more electronic influence now and they’re doing some old songs. I could be wrong though.
I wish they had the balls to go more neon, but at least it looks pretty good. They showed some earlier stuff that was trash and looked like a more generic Dead Space.
They aren’t going to make a better game than System Shock but I still look forward to playing it in 2020.

Music is electronica
I believe they're going to mix some orchestral for moments seen in the Unity demo, but otherwise the music is going to be electronica.
"Q: The music isn't synthy enough.
Jonathan: Both because of the history of System Shock and its importance as a sci-fi game, synthesizers are crucial part of its aural soundscape. Because of exactly this reason, when we began work on System Shock, I began accumulating external and analogue synthesizers, modular and otherwise, to build System Shock’s score. They’re my babies! :) Aside from the piano, the music in the trailer is about 90% built out of these synthesizers and processed guitar work. For the trailer, it’s pretty cinematic, so two things about that:
First, before working on this trailer there was a lot of internal discussion about what the goals of this trailer was and what we could best do to achieve these goals. The track that you are hearing are indicative of these goals - nothing more or less. A trailer is a different beast than a game is, and seeks to accomplish different things for a different audience."

I think I prefer the more faithful, colourful look of the old demo. Yeah, I know the old game only looked like that because of limitations in a lot of areas, but it would have been distinctive. This kind of looks like every other sci-fi horror game. Anyway, I wont complain too hard. Seems decent enough.

Like other anons already said, level design really needs more colors and neon, and the score should be more techno. One can still notice the original SS1 inspirations if you pay close attention, but it still feels too much like every other sci-fi horror fps made this decade. pic related.
I also feel enemies aren't creepy enough, they should be more biomechanical, and combat / gunplay should be faster.
Right now it seems to be shaping up to become nuPrey 2.0. Which means it'll probably be worth a pirate but that's about it.

To me this old trailer is so much better in every way except for the soundtrack which tries even harder to be "cinematic". Also I like Rebecca's portrait better in the original because she looks like a next door type girl instead of a suit
Though I wouldn't mind level design / objectives and some enemies being different than the original as long as they kept the same aesthetics we've seen in this old demo.

Yeah buts that’s pandering. What I expect, they’ll run out of money, need to find an investor, and have to consolize the shit out of the final product to be released, and they’ll add a couple menu options to turn the most obnoxious features off. This is my prediction.

Eh, it could go either way. I honestly like the art direction, even if it's not all that faithful.

I hope they implement SS2 styled character progression.
d54239 No.13757475
Cautiously optimistic based on this video. I'll expect the worse but hope for the best. They look like they're doing a decent job on creating a "realistic" looking Citadel in which areas are actually designed around being part of the station rather than mazes.
They've got a lot of work to do still so who knows when it'll be done or what the final project will look like but nothing too egregious in this that I can rage at.

I get what you're saying, however I'm going to hold fire on shit-listing it for now and instead go full autusmo.
What's in the video are the early visuals of a level (which I agree needs more neon). Audio plays a huge part in generating atmosphere and some perky guy with some bland-ish ambient music isn't going to help generate suspense. A good example of music having an impact on your feelings is in System Shock II's soundtrack (Ops 1 and 3, Command 1 for examples).
Then there's gameplay considerations; we know it's going to (broadly) be like system shock I, but there's hints you'll be able to bypass things, so possibly a more 'rounded' gameplay like SS2?
Speculation aside, areas like the reception area featured for Medsci; it's a large open area and assuming enemies aren't there in the final, what if you get access to that after an ambush or fight and you're low on health, low ammo, maybe even no gun, with creepy suspenseful music like SS2's playing, nothing but the hum of electrics and neon and/or the odd crack of a bulb going somewhere… and then you hear a moan of a mutant or whirring of cyborg servos in the distance from a corridor or room you've not been down, or even from the door you just came through and you're wondering if you've been spotted?
So yeah, the area in the video isn't creepy, but it's certainly got potential to be.

No, fuck that. I like the levels as they currently are, without going full-blown, tacky cyberpunk shit. They look grounded and I think draw inspiration from Dead Space, which is a good thing. The cyborgs look like shit though, they really need to update the enemy design so it doesn't class with the pleasant environments.
>but there's hints you'll be able to bypass things
One of the developers did say they were going to allow the players the freedom to approach situations as they see fit. There seems to be a stealth mechanic in place, but I'm hoping there is also an RPG system ala SS2.
>So yeah, the area in the video isn't creepy, but it's certainly got potential to be.
But SS1 wasn't a horror game. In fact, it was a dungeon crawler in a cyberpunk setting clearly drawing inspiration from Ultima Underworld. The survival horror element was introduced with SS2.

Indeed; it was as you say a dungeon crawler that focused entirely on combat and killing stuff. The inventory, logs, everything else effectively revolved around that in various ways (how much killing you could do, how much damage you could take killing things, where you had to go to kill things) and so on. Even System Shock II was more an RPG than a horror game but even now bits make my skin crawl even thinking about them.
I hope they keep the dynamic difficulty and let you tweak shit, on an aside; let you have low enemy (re)spawns but low ammo/health spawns and stuff, or make it more like the original System Shock where you can fill up on ammo and just murderize your way through loads of enemies.

It did look nice but something which isn't really shown very well is just how terrible the low-res-on-closeup textures looked the moment you got close to them.

It was like you had some kind of problem with your graphics card or a streaming issue. I'm in the "Not sure if I want" camp for remade levels, that's for sure though. I'm really hoping they don't totally jettison the look of ss1, I liked how every deck looked distinct.

Let's see that explanation:

"Even the presence of one female in the group will change their behaviour, so that they'll act differently. So to give the most natural feeling, to make them feel sincere and honest, having them all the same gender made sense in that way,"
I know that fucking patriarchy allowed many historical events which consisted almost only about males… is there at least one event which consisted of only females?
