Hey all,
In case people aren't aware, 1994's System Shock is being remade in a modern engine. It's going to have the feel/story (roughly) from the original, but update and enhance several elements and possibly add some new features/areas/etc. It'll support PC and XBOX One at launch, and they're talking to Sony to see if PS4 is a possibility.
There's also a playable demo (Steam, GOG, and Humble) - it's pre-alpha but pretty polished with an update coming in the next week or so.
These are the same people who released the original game Enhanced Edition and System Shock 2, both made playable on modern systems, last year, so they know and love the universe.
I'm ecstatically excited to back this, personally - System Shock is one of those games that made a huge impression on me as a kid - I can't wait to experience it in a new way, and the demo really impressed me, so just giving a heads up for others like me who want to back!
P.S. I'm not affiliated with the project in any way, by the way - just REALLY excited.
