Is it shit, or is it a case of Doom becoming Doom 3? Because Doom 3 was good, except for the fact that it has the Doom name on it.

>>15263508

It has really shitty combat, and the stealth is janky, meaning, you're bullied into the shit combat with no way to avoid.

Is nuprey at least on the level of bioshock? Cause then it can at least distract me for a while.

>>15263398

Unironically, Bioshock 2. It's the only one that feels similar to SS.

nuPrey is much better though.

>>15263578

It's better than Bioshock* in everything but combat. well, it's worse than Bioshock 2's combat, but still

>>15263368

A good a place to ask as any

Is there any way to do a NG+ in the original Bioshock?

I refuse to touch the remaster.

>>15263779

No.

Also the remaster is a technical mess which crashes every ten minutes.

nuPrey is the only shocklike worth bothering with. Everything else is mediocre or trash.

Arkanes Prey is basically System Shock 3. Thats about it. Really fun game though, shame so many of us -myself included till a friend lent it me- wrote it off after bethesda being king shits about Prey 2. But honestly its a fucking great game worth picking up if you loved System Shock 2.

Ultima Underworld (1 and 2) and Arx Fatalis RIP Arkane ;_; are in the same breed of game as System Shock, and then there's Thief, Deus Ex and Dark Messiah if a game that's one-step removed from the concept (still fitting into the broader category of "immersive sim," but not System Shock's breed of immersive sim specifically) would work for you as well.

I wouldn't bother with Bioshock or ZeniMax Prey unless you want to be angered by how little the immersive sim had developed ten years after System Shock and even moreso by how little the immersive sim has developed twenty years after System Shock.

Given the current state of the medium - yeah, I wouldn't expect much from your average developer trying to make a "System Shock 3."

*I only pray Warren doesn't fuck it up with current year bullshit.**

Well, with Underworld: Ascendant Otherside could at least describe what a modern immersive sim should be when they were first pitching its Kickstarter, but with what Underworld: Ascendant is actually shaping up to be judging by the trailers and demos that have been released of it? I don't think they're up to the task.

>>15266069

yeah the recent gameplays i saw look kinda bad. And it looks like they try to combine it with i guess, some thief stuff, like arrow crystals.

It all looks very clunky tho, and the artstyle isnt helping

>>15266076

Being completely real with you here, it looks like absolute garbage. It looks like a cell shaded game without black outlines, the graphics look absolutely cartoonish, considering System Shock used to be graphically impressive both times it came out I pray to fucking God they change engines quickly. They use Unity right?

>>15266076

The Thief inspiration I think is a natural fit, but, yeah, all of how it's actually shaping up in its development? Total agreement.

>>15266095

Yeah, it's unity

>>15263368

>Also, do you think that SSIII will be fucked because of CURRENT YEAR?

Probably, same with the system shock 1 remake that got pushed to 2020.

>>15266076

Right now it's in still in alpha but they're actually planning to release the game, full version, in fucking September

>>15266152

Because its cheap and they know people will eat shit, say thank you and ask for seconds.

Why in the world would I, as a creator of a product, bother with increasing quality of said product if I know it will sell regardless?

>>15263368

Of course ss3 will be fucked over. They hired a fetish SJW artist as their main animator.

Are there any news on the source port? In the Kickstarter update for July they said they were hoping to release it "by the end of the month" and we are now almost halfway into the next month. That's the only thing I care about, not the remake and neither System Shock 3.

>>15278491

I will regret asking this but, source?
