What we love

1. “When you’re working on a game, you tend not to think about how people will feel about it 20 years later – or if people will even remember it! The announcement of the System Shock update from Nightdive (and the upcoming System Shock 3 I’m working on) it’s apparent that not only do people remember, they care very deeply about the game.

2. Now Nightdive is remastering the original System Shock to bring it up to date on modern PC’s - with fully updated visuals, audio and a modern interface – making it dramatically more accessible to modern gamers.

3. “The crew at Nightdive heroically brought the original versions of System Shock and System Shock 2 back into circulation.

4. After two decades, Nightdive Studios is rebooting and re-imagining the original System Shock.

5. I’ve long said that if you updated the graphics, sound and UI on System Shock you’d have something that competes directly with any game on the market today.

6. Back when we were working on the original, we wanted to make a simulation-based game that would empower players to tell their own stories through their playstyle choices – an idea that’s still totally relevant today.

7. We will keep the new game true to the classic experience, keeping all the things you loved while giving today's gamers the modern look and feel expected from a AAA title.

8. Producer on the original System Shock.

9. It’s quite wonderful to see a franchise that Warren and I helped create get such loving care." --Paul Neurath, Founder of OtherSide Entertainment.

10. Now the Nightdive folks are doing that update and I’m confident my prediction will be validated.

11. SHODAN demands that you support this so we can all find out.” --Warren Spector, OtherSide Entertainment.
