The System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster pages are on GOG & Steam
-
Oh yeah they are perfect games for the deck! Im sure the sequel will run great too.
-
Of the first? Yes! Its incredible. They did such a good job keeping the original game there with lovely new textures.
I haven't the nostalgia of playing the original at release (or ever), but I really enjoyed System Shock Remake. You won't regret it! It goes pretty cheap quite regularly on GOG, also
-
Thanks! I played the original on PC, but now due to lack of a rig, I'm on ps. It's been just long enough that I've forgotten the details, but remember it was a good time. It'll be like playing it for the first time all over again.
-
Let us know how you find it!
I'd love to hear what you think, after such a long time between play-throughs! -
After the System Shock 1 Remake getting such rave reviews I was hoping the second game would get the same treatment. Are they not remaking the sequel?
-
Sweet, I grabbed system shock 2 free like a decade ago ... We'll get this as an update right...?
-
Lol right? I bounced off ss2 a couple times because it was too scary for younger me. A few years later I got the itch to give it another go, but I had to downgrade my graphics drivers to get it to run on my system so I forced myself to finish it that time lol
-
Those damned monkeys...
You're creeping around in the dark, already on a knife edge... oooh oooh aaah.
-
Yeah, the remake was really good, but I'll warn you, it's pretty hard. Like, frustratingly hard. And if I remember you can't change the difficulty mid-game, so you may just want to play it on easier difficulty.
-
One of the best ever made. I remember a SS2 remaster/remake being in the works a few years ago, but it got cancelled.
-
Nice! Is this basically SS2 with QoL and graphical enhancements mods? Or are these changes being created in-house?
-
I really enjoyed it. First game in a while that could scratch that Prey-itch.
-
There is a SS1 remake. I really enjoyed it.
-
Guess not. I really liked the remake of the first game. Was a lot of fun.
-
Yup! I thought it was a really fun game. I didn't play the original so I cannot comment on adherence to the source. But as a standalone game I really enjoyed my time with it.
-
I was hoping this, too. I know the SS1 Remake had a long history of scope creep, so maybe they didn't have the appetite to tackle the same thing with SS2.
But, even if they took what they had with the SS1 engine and build the same thing with SS2, it would have been much much better, and not take nearly as long as the SS1 remake. They already have most of the assets and interfaces built.
-
I think the only hard part is trying to figure out what you need to do next, which a walkthrough can help with, if you're stuck. The combat and puzzles are challenging, but it wasn't overly difficult, IMO.
-
I feel so heartbroken that I never got a sequel to Prey
-
One day we will get a spiritual successor.
