Now Nightdive Studios has given us another System Shock title to look forward to, this time the Enhanced Edition of System Shock 2. It seems like we're constantly waiting for some kind of System Shock to release, in particular the System Shock remake - which should be out May 30, just over a week away (though only on PC).
It’s really just the definitive version of a classic game, and it deftly demonstrates why Nightdive is the master of preservation.Nightdive Studios has offered us our first look at System Shock 2: Enhance Edition, a new version of the game being brought to "next-generation consoles for the first time." You do have to go in with the understanding that its old bones are still there, but if you bounced off the convoluted interface of the original, you’ll have a better chance of acclimating here. Their reverence for the source material pays off, as while the System Shock remake is better tailored to modern tastes, it still has everything that made it special in its 1994 release. Nightdive has proven once again that they fully understand what made the classics so indispensable. System Shock is the perfect nexus between design and narrative choices. It creates a flow and atmosphere that are difficult to achieve. Or rather, she’s constantly a physical threat as you are in her very being. SHODAN is simply an omnipresent antagonist rather than a physical threat.
System Shock is an experience that doesn’t lean on artificial set-piece moments to try and control its pacing.
