System Shock Remake "Largely Complete", Nightdive Studios Focusing on Console Ports

[Raevenlord]

System Shock Remake developer Nightside Studios has announced that the modern-graphics rendition of the original immersive sim is "largely complete" - at least when it comes to its PC version. The developer has announced that PC content development of the game is finished, and is considered to be in a pre-Beta stage as the developer aims to bring up development for the games' console releases for a cross-platform launch (PlayStation, Xbox and PC) later this year.

The System Shock Remake being developed by Nightdive Studios has had a relatively troubled development, with the developer previously announcing it had to scale back production on the game due to an unintended "feature creep" as they strove to update the games' mechanics towards our current videogame design expectations and sensibilities.





Nightdive Studios' System Shock Remake will offer players a version of the original release as well, although it's currently unclear if that equates to the actual original version, or the 2015 remaster that brought support for modern systems and render resolutions. Additionally, customers who pre-order the System Shock Remake will also receive a copy of System Shock 2 Remastered, which Nightdive Studios aims to release around the same time as the Remake version of the original, with added support for VR, among other improvements.

This tells me the studio is doing ok financially. Some developers would have released the game on the first platform that it was developed for to recoup money to continue development for the other platforms.

On the other hand, by waiting to release on all platforms at the same time, feedback (indirect bug reporting) can be handled with more attention, while at the same time devote more personal to bug fixes, and maybe lay off a unneeded personnel.

It'll be interesting to see how this title turns out. I remember I got the CD version of System Shock that support for VESA VGA modes and an intro movie.

Will they feature the advanced difficulty of having a time limit to complete the game before Shodan somehow (a laser I think) destroys the world?

I just hope it's not woke.

I will believe it when I see it.

And I hope it's very woke.

Last I heard, they got a huge cash injection from Chinese investors. Considering Epic Games Store, I don't think that can be said to be a point of ridicule.
