Nightdive Studios Releases 87 Minute Gameplay Video of System Shock Remake
Nightdive Studios, who are developing a remake of Looking Glass Technologies' famous System Shock, have just released an 87-minute gameplay showcase for the remade version of the game. In it, you'll get to take a look into the combat system, inventory, art and graphics design for the game (whether or not it stays true to your memory of the original is up to you, though).
The game has gone through a sort of development hell, when after garnering more than $1.4 million in crowdfunding, it was announced that the game was being put on hold. That decision was motivated by the developers' arguably overzealous take on the System Shock game, which had them continually build into the core ideas of the game - essentially rendering it as more of a heavily-inspired spiritual successor than the remake they originally envisioned. Changing game development engines from unity to Unreal was also part of the reason for the games' development delay. The game is expected to launch this year, though no specifics on exactly when have been made available. Catch the video after the break.
Looking great!

Can't wait for the release date.
I tried getting into System Shock but it was brooding, dull and boring in ways that higher presentation levels in newer games like Bio Shock aren't.
I'm hoping System Shock 3 will be more exciting...but considering the level of technology now it probably will be.
This looks really good!
I mean UE4 is perfectly fine, but the porting didn't translate well.
