1/4/2024 0 Comments System shock demo impressions![]() ![]() I love them because they have produced a Pre-Alpha demo of the first section of the first level from System Shock. But you know Night Dive Studios has swayed my opinion. I kinda hate the whole Kickstarter stuff, to be honest, because I feel like I shouldn’t have to pay for my game before it’s even made even the fact I have to trust people I don’t know to produce the goods. Their careers have extended to titles such as Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Fallout 4, Skyrim, World of Warcraft, Bioshock and Thief. ![]() In fact, every single guy in the team is a veteran within the gaming industry. These guys know their shit when it comes to the game. Something more beautiful though is a team of developers who are dedicated to bringing System Shock into the future. Yes, System Shock 2 is a thing, a beautiful thing, but for now we’ll stick to the original. It has surprised me so much that System Shock never really had a true next gen follow up, even after the second game in the series. System Shock was so ahead of its time, it never truly flourished as a game series. For me, I can go back and hammer the crap out of it much alike the classic DOOM games. Well, for most of the AAA gaming elite in this day and age, that is. However, the only shortfall is that System Shock has aged very badly. That’s some pretty damn impressive stuff. I mean 10 years or so later and those same mechanics are still in effect. The core mechanics of System Shock were so influential that many of the titles mentioned above still used the same mechanics from 1994. System Shock paved the way for the eventual releases of the Bioshock titles, not to mention that it inspired other games such as Thief, Deus Ex and even Dead Space. Puzzles in a shooting game, you say? What is this trickery? System Shock was a thinking man’s game, you had to ponder ever action as opening a door was no simple task and required a puzzle to be solved. You see, System Shock was a whole different ball game compared to the insanely awesome DOOM. This title lit up the gaming scene back in the early 90s when shooting games weren’t as defined in our generation. That game series would never had come to light if not for System Shock. Are you a Bioshock fan? Forget all about Bioshock: The Collection. ![]()
