>Following the news that Nightdive Studios was putting their System Shock remake on hiatus and had to reassess the entire project, the developer has firmed up their projected release window.
>The news comes via a new interview with Nightdive CEO Stephen Kick and PC Gamer, where Kick said the company is looking to release the game in “Q1 of 2020.” Kick also talked up the overall development mantra for the title:
>“Our intention is to ship exactly the game that was promised, with as much of the features that were promised as we can, in a time frame that will get it out as fast as we can,” he said.
>Kick said that he doesn’t expect additional costs with the delay of the game, saying the “more complex and costly game” has lit up “renewed interest from some publishing partners.”

Have to say I thought this was totally dead but sounds like they're at least pretending to be releasing something coming up. Still think they might as well not say anything but two years is appropriately far in the distance that might as well be like they're saying nothing.

This was literally their plan from the get go. They switched from Unity to Unreal 4 for that and the level design shifted from somewhat faithful recreations to straight up generic modern shooter hallways.
In the later years all they did was shit out concept art while not spending a single moment on the actual game.

You can change the control scheme to something better, once you do that then you should get into the groove of things. I do not recommend maxing out the story cap otherwise you get a time limit.

Say hello to regen health, two weapon limit, instakill knife button, lootboxes, multiplayer focus, Season passes that slowly give you access to 40% of the original game they cut out, hamfisted diversity, and facebook integration. Also, Nightdive Studios is already a publisher, they got Kickstarter funds in addition to the ones they already had and yet they need MORE help from OTHER publishers? How unbelievably inept do you even have to be to-

Well that explains alot. Also, NightDive has never developed a game before, why the fuck did people throw their money at them like this despite having no experience whatsoever?

Jewish double-speak. Their intention is to exactly fulfill their promise. Only, it will be missing some promised features that they couldn't. Also, they more worried about the timeline for their ROI than they are about feature completeness; both explicitly enumerated features and implied/expected.
With Jews; goys lose.

People from the original team are working on it, like Warren Spector, there's some concept art, but that's it.
Based on concept art, the game will take place in the cidatel, and based on what we know, the protagonists of the previous 2 shocks games will be in the game too

It's way less clunky than the original xcom, anon. You just have to give it a chance because skipping it is missing some solid gaming as well as some legit spooks because it's still pretty freaky to this day.

From what I understand there was no project beyond the initial kickstarter build. Virtually all money was spent on "concept art" in an attempt to woo AAA publishers into paying for a AAA game.

e5943d No.14550525
I'm currently playing ss1 enhanced edition for the first time and I can't remember the last time I've had so much fun playing a video game. I really like the atmosphere in the game, and the change of pacing when you find the medical reconstructor is welcome.
I'm playing completely blind, but it didn't take long to familiarize myself with the UI and controls.
The only thing I'm wondering about is that if there was no free mouselook in the original version, wouldn't the game be really fucking difficult? Most of the time you can just take it slow and peek corners etc., but sometimes SHODAN throws a shitton of bots or mutants from every angle, which could get a bit tense if you're low on hp and meds and haven't flipped the reconstructor switch yet.
3c7113 No.14550629
>>14550525
The game doesn't control all that poorly without mouselook. Vanilla is SZXC in place of WASD with A and D for turning. Mouse is like in lightgun games/Wii shooters where you can aim on the screen. So it's still superior to every console game ever released and well ahead of its time. The only really awkward action is looking up/down (R/V) but since you can already shoot up/down thanks to mouse aim it's not needed often.
