Some of my favorite games have been inspired by System Shock, from RPGs like BioShock to Dishonored. Its influence is hard to grasp, especially as the gaming industry continues to evolve with such iconic titles falling out of popularity. Thankfully, Nightdive Studios has taken the reins on the 1994 masterpiece and is heading a remastered edition of the FPS game. If you want to experience the reworked foundation of many beloved newer games, you can grab it during this System Shock Remastered sale for a limited time. Read the rest of the story...

If you read System Shock 2 s patch notes on Steam you might notice something unusual, as I did. In the list of fixes, additions, and technical talk, there’s a note thanking “Le Corbeau” for providing the patch. It’s an official patch that the game s publishers pushed onto Steam, but reading the note it looked to me like they didn t know who was updating their game. Can that really be the case? Spoilers for this article, but the answer is yes , and Le Corbeau remains anonymous to this day. Even after two decades, System Shock 2 still holds onto its secrets. (more&hell

Devil’s advocate: I’d have been even more excited about Otherside’s System Shock 3 if it didn’t have revered murder-computer SHODAN in it. ‘Shock, traditionally, has been about pushing things forwards, not looking to the past, and what stronger statement could there be than to ditch its godhood-seeking figurehead? Make the big bad a disgruntled janitor named Susan instead, maybe. But I won’t pretend that I didn’t experience a multitude of teenage kicks when I heard the returned voice of original SHODAN actor Terri Brosius, in this first teaser trailer

It looks like Night Dive’s System Shock remake is finally back on track, after a messy engine switch, a cancelled change in art direction and a delay until 2020. Below, we get our first video peek at the ‘adventure alpha’ version of the immersive sim revival, currently going out to some higher-tier Kickstarter backers. We also get a little peek at the remake’s design methodology and a look at some deliciously animated doors in its latest public Kickstarter update. (more…)

Nightdive’s remake of System Shock has been delayed until 2020, but playing the 1994 original is a more tempting option now. Paving the way for immersive sims like Deus Ex and Dishonored, System Shock is an important part of the genre’s history, and after a surprise update yesterday it’s a far more playable one. System Shock: Enhanced Edition is now a sharper looking game, expanded to widescreen and with modernised, configurable controls. Below, a trailer showing off what System Shock looks like, freed of its DOS-era jank. It’s also on sale, which is nice. (more&hellip
