The overall look, feel, and atmosphere come straight out of the original, albeit brought up to modern standards thanks to the Unity engine, a few low-res placeholder textures notwithstanding. Blinking displays, dingy gray cryo-pods, humming computers…sure looks like System Shock, but now it’s way easier to move around! Taking into account the game’s differences from the original – and no doubt being aware of the various issues other high-profile Kickstarter game campaigns have encountered – the company released a demo both to illustrate what they hope to accomplish with the remake and to hopefully convince fans of the original that things haven’t changed too much over the last 22 years. According to the developer the new game started off as a simple HD remake of the 1994 original and slowly evolved into a ground-up re-imagining of the original game with assistance of series producer Warren Spector. The demo is offered as something of an incentive to get involved with Nightdive’s Kickstarter campaign for the game. Whatever your stance on the game, Nightdive Studio’s newly-announced System Shock remake looks posed to please fans of the original and give newcomers a chance to experience the game in a modern and convenient fashion. Some will have fond memories of the original game’s tense atmosphere and innovative shooter-RPG gameplay, others will know it by its reputation and ties to the Bioshock series, and still others will remember it as an obtuse slog that’s kinda hard to play on modern computers. Say the name System Shock to gamers and you’re bound to get a variety of responses.
