Are you hyped?

yeah, i finished SS1 remake 2 days ago, ready to have sex with shodan now

I think the co-op will be a fun feature.

>>713604480 (OP)
Looking forward to replaying the game for the first time in 10 or so years. Just got the game added to my library through the SS Remake preorder bonus, wouldn't have gotten this if I had to pay the price its at on its own.

That reminds me, how much did they add into the SS Remake since launch? I saw that they redid the final boss, anything else worth mentioning? Wondering if its worth it to revisit the remake.

>>713604480 (OP)
No.

>>713605187
wtf bro shodan will be pissed

>>713604628
get in line

>>713604480 (OP)
It looks exactly the same except they added reload animations

>>713605410
nah it definitely looks better
it does need some kind of dynamic lighting system though

I really hate the fact these remasters don't really bring any fresh users, same for when a youtuber makes a 1 million views video...

The Thing remastered isn't seeing any discussion or sales anywhere beyond its initial week.

No, it looks like shit. It's too clean, cartoony and lost the gritty look it used to have.

>>713604480 (OP)
idgaf, i still like the original and i aint payin for the same shit again

>>713605837
Maybe because The Thing has a reputation of being a shitty game that nobody liked and they decided to charge 30 fucking dollars for it.

>>713604480 (OP)
Fuck no

>>713605837
>The Thing remastered isn't seeing any discussion or sales anywhere beyond its initial week.
Why would it? It was a trash game on release and didn't do very well and giving it a spit polish today doesn't make it any less a trash game. Frankly, I was completely baffled by the announcement to remaster it. Remake might have made sense but why give a very mild graphics update to a shit game?

>>713606050
It truly is baffling that they didn’t do Jedi Knight/MOTS instead.

>>713604480 (OP)

What is this slander?

>>713605724
did you get a code or something or does it just appear automatically?

When are they going to remaster AVP2? Is anyone going to even play AVP2's multiplayer for more than 1 month when already you got it for free with multiplayer and 1 active server yet nobody even heard about it CAUSE EVERY RETARD HERE IS UNDER THE AGE of 30?

>>713605617
NTA, but the original version was broken as fuck, maybe they'll fix it to work better in this version.

>>713604480 (OP)
>26 euro for a texture pack
would be mad if I didn't get it for free

>>713606284
Automatically on steam

>>713606324
I played through it probably four times in coop at various points in time. I think maybe it crashed occasionally during level transition. The worst thing was trying to get it to connect to the internet instead of LAN. Prior to the steam release I had to use Hamachi. Steam release fixed it, then broke it at some point.

>>713604480 (OP)
Did they remake the ending or will I get a “Nah” before bustin a cap in her cpu?

love the game. dont like remasters/remakes. only thing I would be interested in if they finish the unfinished and improve the last third on the VanBraun

>>713606261
I bet most people who bought it only found out about through Spoony’s review.

im going to buy a copy for myself and my bf and play through it in co op with him

winner of the most underwhelming remaster award, but by doing nothing it means it will be better than 90% of usual remasters so good on the devs for that I guess

New streamer bait multiplayer mode to be fair... which is just gonna be an unbalanced chaotic roflstomp through the game...

>>713605837
Because the thing was low effort garbage, it's a 5 hour linear single player game with no replay value, the remaster botched the sound design, graphics are ahh and it's $30, it should've been $15 max

>>713606316
Never ever, just like NOLF. The companies involved aren't interested in untangling Monolith's corpse to figure out who actually owns what.

>>713606668
I like how one of the trailers makes a complete mockery of the game's atmosphere by showing the devs goofing around, what a great way to experience the game

Though to be fair any potential customer has probably already played it

>>713606316
>1 month

If we'd get a functional AVP 2 remaster with revamped multiplayer, I would never remove it from my PC. Take me back to survival mode and my surviving marine/corpo bros for a final last stand

I replayed it like a year and a half ago and now I'm going to replay it again.

>>713604480 (OP)
Why the fuck would I be excited for a new coat of paint for a game I've already olayed a billion times already? You zoomers are so fucking retarded. You faggots love falling for these grifts

>>713605837
This. The whole point of these overpriced coats of paint are just design to cash in on hipster try hard zoomers who want to try and score their "pc gamer cred" points.

I have a question for you all.... why do you even need a remaster if the original games can already be played? Some of them even have a very dedicated active multiplayer fanbase to play with.
Most of these old games don't support more than 8-16 players so you don't need a lot to play it with, just a small dedicated group of 12 people is enough. So why don't you play the old version instead of waiting for a remaster?

>>713606725
>>713605932
>30 dollars
>For some random remaster of a retarded mediocre generic PS2 action slop game

What the fuck? Why? Who buys this shit?

>>713606197
Some nicer graphics and better co op.

Now pay up piggy zoomer

>>713611148
Its running off of mostly community mods that have existed for years (SCP, SHTUP) so only Myers will likely have his portrait updated. Picrel was meant to be used in vanilla but both Woods and Myers use the same portrait by mistake. Mods will use the cut one for either but it'll likely be Wood because his audio log is found in Ops.

>>713611380
Exactly lol

>>713611864
It's a zoomer thing.. you wouldn't understand

>>713604480 (OP)

gunplay was surprisingly good and i loved the exploration and hated cyber space

i am looking forward to this :D

>>713604480 (OP)
Actually? Yes. I need a great video game in my life right now and I've got a feeling this will hit that scratch.

I don't understand why we dont get more new Deus ex like games with existing IPs

digital pussy

>>713613723
I know this is bait but there's nothing wrong with the SS1 remake in principle. This remaster on the other hand is a fucking grift. Why do you retards love buying pointless cash grab paint jobs that add barely anything? If it was 5 bucks I would understand but this is supposed to be like 30 or 20 bucks

that's fair,

but i can see the justification being getting it out of the IP hell and if you didn't play the first one (zoomers obviously didn't because of the clunk )it's better than 99% of the 30 dollar games

>>713613723
SS2 is nothing like SS1 if they haven't touched much in this remaster.
I was a little frustrated with SS2 at times, particularly at The Many boss fight after going through "them".

>the teeth
I hated those.

Just call them immersive sims. The shortened verison has been parroted to death by youtube faggots and reddit zoomies

>>713614572
>SS2 is nothing like SS1
true but i hear nothing but good things about ss2 and i have faith in both original and remake teams

>>713614671
It's running on Nightdive's KEX engine

>>713614671
Nah, this remaster is KEX Engine. Similar to Nightdive's other remasters.

>>713614683
alright my bad
immersive sims make no money and cost a lot
and you are asking for one when even genres like stealth are dead

>>713614580
It sounds like there is enough to justify this being the version to play at least. But still.. I kinda wish there were more tweaks. It didn't need much, but it did need a little bit.

The models look a bit dog shit though ay. There's not much you can do without fucking the game up though. Even then...

Just play the original with SS2tool.
There, saved you 20 dollars.

Let's run the comparisons again

>>713614761
It's a great game, just don't expect anything like SS1.
I played the SS1 remake an then SS2 old version about a year ago or so for the first time and it was good.

>have SS2 on steam
>but still pirated to play it with mods
I don't even remember buying it. Must have bought it like years ago or something and sat on it for ages and ages.

>>713615052
>>713615148
Is left the orig + mods?

>>713615052
Maybe it's just me but the one on the right is so much better. The remaster looks like shit. Why does every modern game and remaster have to have ugly lighting and coloring with a soulless faded out look? Everything looks reallt washed out meanwhile the one on the right looks great coloring and lighting wise.


Why do they do this shit? Also it might just be me but high poly models never look good in low poly games or game engines. It doesn't mix well at all

>>713615325
Left is the remaster. These were preview shots released on February 27 so some things may have changed

>>713604480 (OP)
I want and plan to play it, but I wish the vr mode had not been cancelled

>>713615446
i like the look of the remaster desu, could be a bit darker but reshade can solve that quick

>>713615371
I don't think the Remaster looks bad per se, it's just the lighting being fucked and half the colors being washed out. SS2 is supposed to be dark, colors are supposed to pop out from that darkness.
The textures are way too "clean" for my liking but I'm admittedly used to how it originally looked so I'm biased.

I'll come back and do some HUD comparisons in a few

>>713612082
Maybe, but for SS1 they raceswapped a bunch of audio log faces because it's illegal to have white people in current year

Wait, if I backed SS1 Remake on Kickstarter and got it through steam from that do I still get this free or did I need to pre-order it on steam specifically to get SS2R?

>>713616132
>but for SS1 they raceswapped a bunch of audio log faces
lmao did they really

i found it funny how black people looked in the audio logs, they looked like they were covered in shoe polish

>>713614613
maybe it secured them some blackrock funding

Top is old HUD
Bottom is remaster, ignore IGN's logo

>>713615052
why are the colors completely wrong? particularly on the robot. Remasters always fuck up art direction, it's like new devs are completely incapable of respecting the original work

>>713616132
Did they? I was looking out for woke shit while I was playing it and all I noticed was that two (Kickstarter backer) audio logs referenced gay/lesbian relationships. I didn't notice any raceswapped characters from the original game. Have you got comparison screenshots or character avatars from then audio logs you can post to prove that or am I meant to just take your word for it? WHO exactly did they raceswap?

>>713616537
That bottom hud looks like shit

>>713616686
The item icons also look like shit. It's especially sad considering that I love the item icons and models for the original SS2. Now they look like crap

Left original, right remaster

>>713616812
You do know that SHODAN was originally male canonically right?
Back when it was done merely because it was universally considered a creepy thing.
Unlike now, when it's considered a thing that is kinda cringe and SHODAN will never be a woman.

>>713605617
I played through it awhile back with a friend and I remember it being pretty busted on a first playthrough. Enemies were breaking, objects were loading in completely wrong areas, crashing during transitions, etc. Eventually we had to restart our playthrough because one of the doors in hydroponics broke. The game felt like it was getting more unstable as we progressed. Second playthrough went much smoother and things weren't breaking as often for some reason.

So the protocol droid containers have glass on them that allows you to see the droid inside now - are they going to bother to give the ones in the Clone Maid shops bobcuts? Or are they going to ignore the visual gag of the lone "male" droid in the shop fawning over the maid pods?

Uniform color change may be because she's an engineer

Yeah... I'm sticking with the original.

>>713617273
when have you EVER seen remaster slop pay attention to details like that?

>>713617221
Male SHODAN isn't canon. It was instantly retconned by the cd version of the game made mere months after the floppy version. She was never "originally male-coded" in-universe after the CD version. The intro cutscene and the recording in the med bay you start at in SS1 both have SHODAN pre-hacking using her female voice. The hacking didn't make her troon out like Transdalore wishes was the case.

>>713604480 (OP)
I thought SS2 sucked

Last one. These contextual boxes appear in IGN's demo but they're playing on a console so they might not appear on the PC version, well unless you use a controller

>>713617808
>Male SHODAN isn't canon. It was instantly retconned
But that's boring.
She was more creepy and sinister being male but looking female. I guess they cucked hard even back then for the sake of PC shit. Too many pissed off trannies?

It's kinda irrelevant anyway. SHODAN's a machine and doesn't have a sex really. I guess that is kinda creepy in itself though. Makes her more inhuman.
>the intro cutscene and the recording in the med bay you start at in SS1 both have SHODAN pre-hacking using her female voice.
Yeah but her actually being male and yet modulating her voice into her "idea of perfection" is kinda amusing to me when you consider how trans people literally do this today and are almost as psychotic. I just thought it was poetic, but I guess we can't allow trans anything nowadays because it hurts your feelings, despite it making the horror content better.

>>713617907
Nah, it's fine. I played it for the first time recently and I think the criticism is kinda overblown.
But, I did play with mods. See Mandalore's vid. It's a good starting point with the mods. He does a decent job detailing how he got it running.

>>713617805
Probably true, and a shame. This was my favorite blink-and-you'll-miss-it gag in SS2.

one of the most overrated games ever, starts well enough but drops off a cliff the further you go.
i dropped it when literal ninjas showed up

Actually just one more. They opened the map briefly. Top is original. Looks like they didn't update its quality

>>713606324
I went through it with a friend 20 years ago and it worked fine. It's just broken now because updates and patches were all single player focused.

>>713618885
It's great until the Rickenbacker which is extremely meh. Body of the Many is fucking garbage and I don't understand why people pretend it's a good finale.

>>713618464
>She was more creepy and sinister being male but looking female. I guess they cucked hard even back then for the sake of PC shit. Too many pissed off trannies?
>this is your brain on nu/polv/
No, you fucking retard. They made her female in the CD version because when they were trying to figure out what voice to give her they decided that Terri Brosius did such a great job that they'll change that aspect of the character entirely. The CD version was finished before the floppy version even hit store shelves, but the floppy version had already gone gold and it was the era of physical distribution so you can't just change everything on all the CDs you already sent out. The floppy version is basically a fucking beta version of the game in this regard. The character is an AI and it is recognized as being "female" by 90% of the characters in the CD version of SS1, all of the remake of SS1 and all of SS2. The whole "oh it was male before now it's female" is unironically some tranny cope from some British tranny that Transdalore then signal boosted with his soapboxing in his video.

>>713619081
>and I don't understand why people pretend it's a good finale.
do they? i feel like everyone says it's pretty bad

>>713615052 >>713615148 >>713615237 >>713615352 >>713615446 >>713615559 >>713615973 >>713615891 >>713616537
looks like trash, glad I'm not paying a single cent fot it and got it from the pre-order bonus

>>713618885
SHODAN is canonically a weeb that wears a kimono in cyberspace. Of course she'd have cyborg ninja underlings.

>>713615446
remaster hybrids look kind of goofy and less menacing imo

>Nyuunzi actually finally made an actual pornographic sequel image to this years later
Wasn't expecting that.

>>713619091
>No, you fucking retard. They made her female in the CD version
I said I acknowledge that, but it did diminish her creepiness and lowered the cathartic commentary on trans people and trans movements and their idea of "achieving perfection". The parallel is there regardless. She is still awfully androgynous and awfully psychotically obsessed about her want of "perfection".

Really though, she's epitomizing something within ALL human beings that we kinda don't want to deal with much. The idea of working towards a better future and shit like that - which are essentially the same revolting shit, a denial of your horrendous reality and a futile resistance to your current state of existence.

I'm not saying that it's the canon right now. I'm saying it was BETTER "her" being this fucked up and twisted in "her" obsession for perfection. It was more ironic.
But I guess you are too fucking retarded to even enjoy these horrors and see the primal core of it and it's application to the human situation.
Can't have good things I guess, might be too political and spicy.

Also made her hotter too when she was all fucked up. Kinda like the xenomorph Alien.

>>713604480 (OP)
The multiplayer looks interesting

>>713620445
I didn't even know SS2 had multiplayer.
How would that even work? Just like Halo?

>>713620293
>I said I acknowledge that, but it did diminish her creepiness and lowered the cathartic commentary on trans people and trans movements and their idea of "achieving perfection".

This "commentary" doesn't exist. She's just a megalomaniacal AI in the style of HAL9000, AM or Adam Selene. It has nothing to do with trannies seeking perfect femininity. You are projecting. PLEASE absorb more culture and pop culture than just living on the internet and reading resetera, kiwifarms, reddit and 4chan. Back when the original game was made people were reading classic sci-fi books for inspiration, not trannifestos.

It's like people who think Night of the Living Dead is about the civil rights movement because the main character is black when the director has gone on record over and over saying he only cast the black guy because he was the best actor for the role that showed up for their small town production.

>>713620630

the resources in the game don't change so you have to share with each other
shooting another player causes friendly fire but melee doesn't have any friendly damage

>>713617808
>talks about one theory
>"You're a jewish gay tranny lover who wants everyone to be a gay faggy tranny lover. You probably have wet dreams about trannies and being a tranny, you freak!"

You people are so beyond mentally ill. You think because someone says one thing that they're automatically a tranny rights supporter. What is this bizarre over exaggeration you people engaged in so much called?

>>713621181
Kill yourself Transdalore, you fucking homo.

>>713620760
>This "commentary" doesn't exist.
Bullshit.
You had Silence of the Lambs just come out.
You had the alternative shit at it's peak.
Trans was a big deal in the fucking 90s and people made all sorts of horror and gags with it. It was on the mind and the hive mind could not escape it.

The androgyny is there.
The objective of perfection is there.

They might not have realised it, but something was on their mind because of media and other things around them at the time and they made come commentary on the inhuman nature of androgyny. Not hermaph shit, the lack of sex, the lack of individuality and freedom. It was right fucking there and apparently morons like you couldn't even work that out. Apparently they need to preach a gospel of shit about it to make it a thing to you. It can't just be there in the periphery. Brain fucking dead. Drink some water. It makes good psych horror.

You know what was even more androg and "in between the lines" than SHODAN though? The Many. They were literally made up of many males and females as "one". Completely lacking their individuality and separation.

BOTH of these characters have the issue at the CORE of their identity because it is good horror material. People dislike dancing with the idea, it creeps them out. Still to this day it seems given your stubborn reaction. I guess that's a good thing in the case of this game using it for horror, but holy fuck you are so in denial about your closeted homosexuality that you cannot even work this shit out.

>>713621423
Read a book, dumb faggot.

>>713617808

Holy shit dude see a doctor

>>713621531
yeah mostly
i seriously fucking raged at the game briefly taking control over your camera and movement for a few seconds at the start of every boss fight though, it basically just gave the boss a chance to wipe half your HP

>>713621493
He signal boosted some tranny's theory from another youtube while trying to legitimize it even though it is disproved twice in the first 5 minutes of the game. His friends are all furry trannies. Get your head out of the sand.

>>713621181
Both him and the trans people that shove shit into irrelevant crap are ill.
But this fucking game has it at it's fucking core as the key element of horror - the inhumanness of it. Two main antagonists CLEARLY exploit it.

It's so baffling how you cannot talk about these things in the terms that SS talks about, because it offends BOTH sides by talking about it's existence as a theme. It's so irritating that you can't have fun with it now for horror because of this shit. Silence of the Lambs would be canceled if it was made today, by both sides. It's fucking sad.

>>713620293
Trannies were not on anyone's mind back then you fucking wacko. If a trannie wants to be perfect then they would kill themselves to reincarnate. You can't compare a fictional AI like Shodan to some porn addicted mentally ill DUDE who wants to be a woman. You parasites latch onto anything and push your retard headcanon when it makes no sense.

>>713621481
Open a fucking window and breath air.
Preferably a window to a chamber full of Zyklon B.

>>713621496
The fuck are you talking about?
She's a fucking machine.
She's sex and genderless. An abomination.
And she strives for perfection!
She's literally a parallel of it and it's horrifying.

>>713621574
It's not coming out unless the zuck decides to revive it

>>713621818
Ironically trannies are the ones living rent free in your head since you can't possibly even comprehend a fictional character being megalomaniacal and having a god complex without equating it to the character somehow being a tranny. Your posts are an absolute dumpster fire.

Read a fucking book you neanderthal. Read A Moon Is A Harsh Mistress, 2001 Space Oddysey, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, Colossus, it's a fucking trope almost as old as sci-fi itself to have megalomaniacal god complex AI characters that have nothing to do with trannies. Get out of your retarded internet echo chamber that feeds you these opinions.

>>713604480 (OP)
I'm not spending $30 on this.

>>713621641
Dude, the sex and the androgyny in the machine are literally a core theme. If you can't understand that, god help you.
What does she need to do to make you think it's a theme? Say "also I'm trans btw, trans lives matter!" while shoving a silicon penis down your throat?
Ffs dude.

I'm low-key hoping for some balance changes but that's probably not happening. Maybe some bug fixes, though they'll inadvertently make the game harder (like fixing the Grenade Launcher)

>Mandalore spamming his theories again.
It's all so tiresome.

>>713622194
>Ironically trannies are the ones living rent free in your head
Not only that, it is embedded in ALL of our psyche. That's the fucking point. It's fucking creepy on a primal human psychological level. Her not being something that is recognised as a "normal human" is both creepy because of that and also because it questions what it is that makes us a "normal human being". It's fucking sci-fi with an out of control AI ffs.

>>713606725
>it's a 5 hour linear single player game with no replay value

I must've had a soft spot for it because I finished it three times. I didn't buy the remake though, maybe the last one scratched the itch

Did this nigga really just say everyone was obsessed with trannies in the 90's because Silence of the Lambs came out? Is it some zoomer that was born after 9/11 that can't view the world in any lens but the one he lives in now and thinks everyone was always as obsessed with troons as he is now?

>>713622194
Are you saying that HAL isn't creepy in the same way?
Because he is. All of them are to me. They are all sexless machines. They don't even reproduce like humans do.

>HAL9000 is now a "tranny allegory, read between the lines, man, this is what Arthur C Clarke intended"

>>713622378
Fuck off you fucking brainlet.
You just want to make discussion of the core theme of the game impossible because you feel perturbed and butt twitches like the faggot you are.

>>713606316

That would be sick but, as I understand it, the IP is currently tangled up between various companies, including Fox so it's extremely unlikely anyone will step up and claim ownership that would allow for a remake. Which is a pity, game's fantastic and has excellent asymmetric gameplay

>>713622669
>They don't even reproduce like humans do.
I would say the opposite. They can reproduce memetically like humans can.

>>713622797
Go back to resetera, transdalore.

>>713611219

There isn't a single mod that looks as good as the game does (at least on screenshots), especially the lightning. Believe me, I've played a bunch of those, including fan missions

>>713622774
How does it reproduce then?
In the missionary position for the purpose of procreation?
No?

Well then it's sexless. At best a clonal being.
Imagine doing sci fi with fucking mouth breathers like you that don't even understand the concept of sex, nor have sex (clearly).

>>713622967
Taking dick up your ass doesn't make you not an incel virgin, troon. Enjoy your cope.

>>713622874
>They can reproduce memetically like humans can.
And you're calling me the schizo?
The fuck are you smoking?
Last time I heard we reproduced with a sperm and an egg in a womb but apparently that's bullshit and we just think our way into existence, according to you.

Wtf happened to this thread?

>guy thinks he's being all smart and shit writing his tranny essays about how all AIs in fiction are actually tranny allegories
>has literally never read any sci-fi book
Classic /v/ poster.

>>713623102
tranny obsessed schizo

>>713614113
>This remaster on the other hand is a fucking grift. Why do you retards love buying pointless cash grab paint jobs that add barely anything?

Hey, I got it for free because I was interested in SS Remake, which I enjoyed a lot (I also really liked the OG game, though I played it with the mouse-look version which was the precursor to the Enhanced edition)

>>713622902
Ok, your just astro turfing, fuck you pajeet.
You reproduce through seeds exchanged through fecal matter like the fungus people you are.

>>713623102
Mandalore was mentioned and then his fanboys came in and started to shit all over the thread (under the guise of being some fart huffing resetera communist) and made it unusable because they don't like people mentioning that he is a pro-tranny pro-furry eceleb.

>>713623102
Some faggot just will not talk about sex because if you do, you're a troon to them.
He's probably just astro turfing or trolling. Regardless he is a massive faggot.
Notice how he can't say faggot btw. Always troon, not faggot. I wonder why.

>>713604480 (OP)
Yeah, very. Nightdive does fantastic remasters in spite of their political stances. I also love SS2 and have played it both vanilla and fully modded, and I'm still willing to play it again this way.
The MST3K easter egg in the SS1 remake actually physically stunned me for a solid five seconds or so, completely unexpected and incredibly welcome as a massice MST3K fan.

>>713623362
You are the faggot nigger that is shitting up this thread, dumbass.

>>713623292
I recommended the vid, because it has quality of life mods. Obviously the developer of this new game got mad at that and proceeded to throw shit at anything to do with him because it would affect his profits. Fuck off.

Don't buy this game.

>>713623424
Only because you won't shut the fuck up and admit you don't know shit about the core theme of the game. You are just so mad that you were proven wrong that you just have to bait for shit.

>>713623405
>fantastic remasters
>adds random fourth wall breaking "le joke"
maybe you should stick to watching marvel movies

>>713623476
what are you talking about man

>>713623558
Nigger you are arguing that every AI with a god complex in science fiction are a metaphor for trooning out. You have literally never read a book in your life and live on the internet.

>>713623623
Looking Glass would never.

>>713623765
Looking Glass had the right to shit up their own game

>>713623679
>Nigger you are arguing that every AI with a god complex in science fiction are a metaphor for trooning out.
Well it's at the core of the same problem - the goal for perfection.

But it goes further. There was clear androgyny for a start in SHODAN's facial appearance (especially in SS1) and the Many did their own form and had mixes of both sexes.
Look, I get that this shit is pushed into media over and over again lately, but with this fucking game it's 100% there and obvious and you are just ignoring it for some strange reason. To me it's fucking as clear as milk to me.

>>713606725
>a**
Fucking kill yourself

>>713624046
>To me it's fucking as clear as milk to me.
Which is to say, not clear, because milk is not clear, which is what that idiom means. Read a book.

>>713624046
You're ignoring reality moron.

>>713604480 (OP)
>Are you hyped?
No.
I would've been if it got SS1 treatment. I playthrough SS2 occasionally and the modded version from gog doesn't seem too different then this.

>I read a book once
>therefore your argument is invalid

What sort of simpleton are we dealing with here?
Yeah I've read See Spot Run too! I must be a genius and all other opinions must be invalidated!
Screw the details of the subject matter and any potential themes around it that might be inferred OBJECTIVELY from it. Screw the ambiguity of what a man is. That theme's not allowed because I said so.

What a fucktard.

>>713624360
>I've never read any book at any point in history
>therefore my theory about trannies is correct
Uh huh. Proud of being illiterate?

>>713624306
Well I just said what it is, in detail. You haven't retorted why that's wrong. That's likely because it's ambiguous and that makes sense because of how ambiguous things like SHODAN and The Many's SEX is when you point out how they look, how they are in form and how they behave.

>>713624443
Good, so you agree that you are a fucking retard and go around pretending you've read shit because it makes you feel smarter and makes you think that you are smarter and that therefore your opinions are more valid.
Good.
You're on par with a pre-schooler then. Congrats. That's a pre-schooler level of argument.
Dare I say it, the argument of someone with the intellect of an insect.

Sorry, I'm just having fun here now.

>>713624545
Nah this is bait.

>>713624803
Kill yourself.

Literacy is a gift from God; it separates us from the savage beasts of the land, sea and sky. To forsake it is to forsake your humanity

>>713604480 (OP)
No, this was supposed to come out like 3 years ago. What the fuck could they possibly be doing that took this long?

>>713624903
I agree, so how bout you make like a clam and shove a book up your ass until you cum.

>>713624920
Actual good question. I wonder what happened?

>thinks he's an appreciator of art, writing, themes in fiction while attributing every appearance of an AI with a god complex to being a tranny allegory

>proud of his stupidity
Back in the 80's and 90's video game developers were nerds that were reading sci-fi and fantasy books, that's why game worlds and settings back then were so much more interesting, because games would be developed with the ideas from other fiction in mind. Video game developers (and "critics") now don't read books, they watch Star Wars netflix shows and play video games, and they source all of their inspiration from slop that has sourced from slop.

Now in current year we have zoomers like you that haven't known any other world than the current one that lives terminally online and has never read a single book that could actually clue you in on what the inspirations and themes actually are, spouting your tranny opinions like they mean something to someone.

>>713618464
>. I guess they cucked hard even back then for the sake of PC shit. Too many pissed off trannies?
You must be like 13 or something.

>>713625254
Well if you don't open your brain, that might be you without realising it soon. Closed minded thinking like that is the problem with conservitards like you and troontards. You're both trapped in boxes. That leads to, ironically, the situation that happened to SHODAN which lead to the MC killing her... we think.

What happened to System Shock 3?

As a PCfag why would I buy this version over modding the original?

>>713625628
Yeah, zoomer living in a bubble where the world has always been the way it is. Thinks that 30% of people in 1994 were rabid LGBT pride parade tranny activists like they are now when in reality it was like 0.1%.

>>713625752
It has co-op minus all of the original jank that made co-op broken as shit, I guess.

>>713625628
I remember hearing that they cast SHODAN's specifically for their androgyny. She was an alt rock industrial musician from memory.

Guess who used to be really obsessed about androgyny in the early 90s?
That fucking scene. Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails and shit like that. They also exploited androgyny for shock value btw. Funny that.

I used to like this game until astro turfing in these threads ruined it.
Now I just hate people more and think SHODAN should just hurry the fuck up and end it all.

>>713621657
>e-celeb obsession
These arguments are just sad. Stop discussing e-celebs you damn gaylords.

>>713623292
Genuine mental illness. Your headcanon isn't reality

Wait, is it out already?
Also, how in the fuck is the multiplayer going to work?

>>713625632
I've never voted and will never choose sides of the same coin you fucking ape. Please die immediately.

>>713625632
>What happened to System Shock 3?
The team making it were running out of money due to the pandemic and sold the rights to Tencent, who have been sitting on it since.
Apparently Nightdive is in talks with them to buy the rights and continue development.

>>713626264
>how in the fuck is the multiplayer going to work?
???
The same way other games work. Consoles and Steam provide nat punching for free. You start a game and invite people wow.

>>713623405
Reddit is down the hall and to the left

>>713625865
They weren't everywhere, but they WERE in the media.
And that scene was very fucking close to System Shock. They even shared actors, artists and singers.

Even if there weren't explicit reasons for the use of them, they subconsciously knew what they were going for. God really doesn't have a sex, neither does the machine SHODAN. There is a parallel there too.

>>713625356
>gaybomb
Sad.

>>713623476
>new ss2 remaster dev hates Mandalore
Why? Proof?

>>713626196
>I remember hearing that they cast SHODAN's specifically for their androgyny. She was an alt rock industrial musician from memory.
No, they cast her because Teri Brosius was already a dev in Looking Glass Studios and had a good voice acting voice. She previously voiced Victoria in Thief 1 and 2.

>>713626283
>I've never voted
Why, are you fucking 12 or something.

>>713626334
I'd heard that. Kinda sucks.
But it won't be any good anyway if people are going to be as dumb as they are in this thread.

>>713626264
probably like the original but with less disconnections or crashes

Have the fixed the balance issues regarding only standard weapons being viable and exotic being dogshit?

>>713626196
>I remember hearing that they cast SHODAN's specifically for their androgyny.
Well you heard wrong because that shit didn't happen. She was cast because she was the audio director's wife and she could do good voice acting while he would put the SHODAN filters on her voice. You absolute fucking RETARD. They weren't part of System Shock's development because they were an alt rock band, it was incidental and their work on music and singing in the band obviously helped them in their work on music, audio and voice acting in the games industry.

>>713626593
I seriously doubt it
it's just a remaster, not a remake

>>713626480
Teri was also just in a band called Tribe, an industrial band from memory. Their ambiguity was less about sex I will admit though. Those sorts of bands were more esoteric and gnostic with their themes. The machine was more universal for industrial bands at least.

How about we remaster Thief next?
Or is Square still sitting on the licence disallowing anyone from doing anything with it?

>>713626845
>he doesn't know

>>713626196
The voices in your head don't count as gossip.

The feeling is mutual by the way.

>>713626902
I actually don't, so please enlighten me.

As someone who has actually listened to Tribe's entire discography because I've been a LGS fan for 20 years I can tell you with confidence that their work has nothing to do with trannies. Idk why this guy is trying to gaslight everyone with his "obscure knowledge".

>>713604480 (OP)
This is XERXES.

TriOptimum reminds you that there are only one-hundred-eighty-three shopping days until Christmas. An extra work cycle just twice a week will give you the spending money you need to make this holiday a very special one.

>>713604480 (OP)
Kinda, the first remake was good, but I never played the original second game.

>>713627002
They announced a Playstation VR game sequel to Thi4f at the latest games expo shit.

>>713627073
Too bad, because it's the second one that everybody remembers.

>>713615148
>XERXES, ENGAGING FAGGOT

>>713627123
Oh, that.
...so how about those remasters?

>>713627052
I swear, SS2 only has like 2 voice actors. If it's not Teri Brosius, it's Steve Russell.

>>713627354
>Nah

>>713627173
More like everyone gets filtered by the first one and skip to the second lol

>>713627254
Use your head. If they had any respect for the Thief franchise or Thief fans they would have announced Thief 1/2 remastered, not a Playstation VR sequel to the most hated game in the franchise. The people who own Thief hate you. That's just how it is.

>>713604480 (OP)
Does it have coop?

>>713627354
You don't need more.

>>713626634
Well it just so happened that she was coincidentally his wife.
But her former connection to the band was very relevant from memory. It's why they considered her ideal for the role. She was more leaning effeminate than mere androg because that would have been "a little too much" for the time if she was less so. But the deeper hoarseness of her voice and the way she delivered it probably had roots with her work as a vocalist on that band, gave it that villainous, SUBVERSIVE, tempting and seductive tone to it. It was bordering a trope for that scene. That and the BDSM themes.

Oh, subversion?
Like subversion of gender?
Subversion of what it means to be a human?
Was that a reason for choosing that particular sound for SHODAN's voice?
Were they trying to perhaps... perturb established human "constants"?

Perturbation is a pretty big theme, anon. It's what hackers do.

Is it just me or is 2 significantly shorter than 1 Remake or even the 1 Enhanced version?

>>713617293
Xerxes is my bro. Poor nigga got dealt a really shitty hand with people (and hive mind blobs) screwing with him so much. All he ever wanted to do was take care of the ship and its crew, with no megalomaniac overtones or other ill intent, and yet everyone took advantage of him.

>>713627452
Yeah.
>>713627462
Ever played Underworld Ascendant?

lol!!! trans are hackers!!! we hack our bodies!!!!!!

>>713627519
Still waiting for the sources for all your fanfiction

>>713627542
I haven't actually. I never played ultima underworld. Only ultima game I got into was online. Dunno why. Bounce off them in the early game.

>>713627519
>It's why they considered her ideal for the role.
No it isn't.

Hey, remember how SHODAN being a main villain of SS2 was supposed to be a big twist?
Too bad it got spoiled by a fucking GAME COVER.

Is it out yet? The trailers said the coop had cross play. Cross play how though? Just Xbox to PC or something or can I buy the remake on my snoymachine and run around with PC players.

previous post
>they cast her because she was a proto-ftm tranny in a tranny rock band surrounded by trannies, so she was the perfect fit for SHODAN
current post
>ok well she wasn't a tranny, and she was already in the company and married to the audio director, but *made up bullshit* and *tranny propaganda*, heh, I win

>>713627853
Comes out tomorrow for PC, consoles come a bit later. And I assume crossplay will work the same as it did in their Doom port, as in everyone from every platform can connect.

>>713604480 (OP)
I bought the System Shock 1 remake on Greenman. Do I get this shit for free too?

>>713627795
You mean the cover of the game (an aesthetic choice) subverted the twist in the story?
Like subversion of GENDER AESTHETICS AND CHOICE?
TTTTTTRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS

>>713627795
>Hey, remember how SHODAN being a main villain of SS2 was supposed to be a big twist?
No, because she never gets to be one in the game. She's constantly seething at The Many until you kill them and then kill her 5 minutes later.

>>713628047
If it's the preorder version I guess?

>>713628047
no, it had to be a kickstarter backing

>>713627462
You do, just to make Teri stand out even more.

She r-r-really has the PERFECT(ᵖᵉʳᶠᵉᶜᵗ) voice for the PERFECT(peRғect) being. The rest just sound like petulant INSE-SE-SECTS mocking her divine PERFECTION(-...ₜᵢᵢᵢₒₙ).

Waiting on info on GOG ones.

>>713628456
I'm pretty sure preorders count but could be wrong.
Bing Bing Goog it I guess.

>>713628452
I miss looking at her corpse while Shodan yapped for two minutes about how cool the Hacker was

>>713628674
Hackerman lives rent free in her head. Soldier can never hope to compare.

>>713625356
This monkey forgot to save and died twice then they stopped the stream lmao

>>713628635
I think it was only for people who preordered directly from steam and such. Joke's on me for being a shekeling jew, I guess

>>713627790
They explicitly remarked about the tone of her voice.
I explained why that tone exists and how it manifested through her career.

So indirectly they remarked about the thing that she manifested in her music career - relating their choice to the aspects that created her voice's tone in her music career - the qualities that were sort in her role as a musician.
Things like
>subversion
>seduction
>persuasion

Qualities associated with a dominating and overwhelming EVIL.
That's why you want to beat the shit out of SHODAN. She elicits that primitive reaction in you the audience through how she uses her voice and the things she says to you. Part of that was probably learned through her career on stage and in that scene. Especially the noir dominating aspect.

>>713628054
>hack into advanced AI
>remove ethical limiters
>it starts self-identifying as female
Shodan is trans.

>>713628410
Is that all you have left?
Damn, small cache I see. Better luck next time, chat-gpt.

>>713628747
It appeared in my steam library today and I pre-ordered on Kickstarter and got it through steam from that. So you didn't need to preorder SS1 remake on steam specifically. No idea about other platforms.

Ia this actually worth the 25 euros? I didn't support the Kickstarter for SS1 because I was sceptical if it'll eventually come out. What does this offer that can't be done with mods?

>>713628674

>theory is disproven twice separately in the first five minutes of the game
No no no trannysisters, how could looking glass betray us like this?

did the SS1 remake rerecord voice lines? i felt like SHODAN's voice in the original had better sound design or something.

>>713628795
I very much doubt SHODAN would want to be in the image or would perceive herself in the image of any filthy insectoid ape, including with sex. To her, that would harm her ideal perfect image of herself.
So ironically SHODAN even rejects the idea of trans, let alone traditional roles. To her, they are abominations that harm her ideal. They're probably part of the reason why she considers humans so filthy and pathetic.

And she's kinda right, they are filthy 3DPD.

>>713629025
>still giving trany schizos attention

They just want (You)s, you idiot.

>>713629098
yes, in typical remaster fashion they thought they were better than the original devs and so needlessly changed stuff

>>713629171
that's a shame if so, i definitely remembered shodan's voice and sound modulation being creepier when i played the OG but wasnt sure

>>713626593
>>713626702
Are exotic really that bad?
For the remaster I wanted to try exotic , but I guess I'll go psy instead.

>>713604480 (OP)
No, it's a glorified mod repack
Maybe for a coop playthrough

>>713627354
Is it true that most of the VAs for logs were just guys they had around the office while few of them were career VAs?

>>713629310
You only get access to exotic way later, unless you save nanites, you'll have a really hard time til then

>>713629098
I feel like the production was tampered because the old one might have issues... probably with drivers or some shit (limits) and the eq of modern speakers. Shouldn't have been too different though. This isn't the 8 bit era with terribly limited sound chips.

>>713629001
>>713622308
Really gives "AI slop" a whole different meaning.

>>713627123
It's not a sequel to Thi4f. From the interviews I've seen they said it happens after after the trilogy and before Thi4f(whatever that means since Thi4f is supposed to be a soft reboot from what I remember).
You can hear Garrett in the trailer and you'll play as his apprentice.

>>713629125
>o ironically SHODAN even rejects the idea of trans, let alone traditional roles.
you could say Shodan TRANScends above the very idea of gender

>>713629236
You're probably not gonna get that exact sound without old chips ay.
It's like old analog synths, they just sound better because the ones after just sound like emulations of the original.

>>713629310
I did the exotic playthrough for fun. It was not fun. And once I got the exotic weapons they sucked. The crystal shard is a better wrench. All other exotic weapons are shitty versions of normal/heavy weapons you found way earlier.

The idea is cool though. Shame they all suck.

Psi playthrough sucks ass because difficulty modes change the amount of points things cost, so everything costs a shitload on Impossible and you don't get to experiment with anything. I hope the remaster has a toggle for pointbuy scaling on the different difficulties. It'd be nice if I could play Impossible but with normal cyber module allocation.

>>713629639
I have to admit, "transcends" really doesn't capture her. If she's omnipotent, then surely she would share ground with ALL sexes and genders right?
Both mutually exclusive, yet not.
That's an interesting thought.

I guess that's epitomised in her use of slaves rather than merely becoming one like The Many right? She sees others as mere things in servitude or disobedience, not really something that could join her truly in union.

But I can fix her, I swear.

Vurt's texture pack is infinitely better because it's free.

I forget that the Argentine peso was revalued AFTER hyperinflation too. Jesus.

>>713630902
why is there a coconut on the price genuinely asking?

>>713631291
QRD? Are Steam games in Argentina more expensive now?

System Shock 2 doesn't need a remake

>>713631034
It was better a few years ago, I remember buying Sekiro on release for the price of a coffee
>>713631342
It's a mate gourd, I have a browser extension installed that tells me the price in pesos instead of dollars, and also how much I'm paying in taxes.

>>713631342
The currency of Argentina is the coconut, didn't you know?
Although, frankly, a coconut would be worth a hell of a lot more than any ARS(e) could afford so no wonder it became the defacto currency.

>>713631517
ah ok

>sold a lot of arse for this ARS(e)

>>713604480 (OP)
No it looks ugly.

Nice, a Shock thread. So what about Levine's current game? Is he still working on it?

They're looking into Daikatana next according to stream.

>looks fine
Don't care about remaster

>>713631808
We don't talk about Bioshock anymore.
I can't even get it running and the workarounds are sus as fuck and largely don't work. Both versions (remaster is WORSE somehow).

>>713631827
Hopefully Arx after and not Deus Ex or Thief..

>>713604480 (OP)
Not really for a remaster when mods provide the same and more. A remake the way SS1 was remade is something I would be excited by.

>>713631946
His newest game is called JUDAS iirc.

>>713631827
Bummer

>>713631489
>Are Steam games in Argentina more expensive now?
Yes, mostly because the prices used to be in pesos and they used a ridiculous exchange.

When they introduced it a dollar was about 15 pesos, a couple of years later it was 300 pesos for a dollar. Meanwhile steam kept the 13 pesos = 1 dollar exchange rate all that time, you also had to add regional pricing on top of that, it was a crazy time, you could buy AAA games for the price of a beer.

>>713631651
>Do you exchange arses here?

>>713631827
>Daikatana
Why? It was a steaming pile of shit.

>>713631808
Supposedly. We probably won't see it for years or it will be cancelled
I'm more interested in what Raphael is cooking up

>>713604480 (OP)
No, I already have the game and it works perfectly.

>>713632161
>They charge up the ARS(e) here!

>>713604480 (OP)
no, it dosent have the orignial voice lines in my own language anymore, so its dosent get bought by me

>>713633576
lol
Imagine not having Teri doing her lines. This is one of the rare times where the english VA is just superior.

>>713633576
dub fags always lose

You're meant to play games in their native languages (with subtitles of your language of choice).

Play System Shock 2 in English
Play Arx Fatalis in French
Play Gothic in German
Play jrpgs in Japanese

I don't really understand the point of this remaster or why it's $30 but it's pretty based they fixed coop and are, hopefully, getting fags who haven't played this masterpiece to do so. I'll grab it for $20 sometime

>>713634141
>jrpgs in Japanese
wrong, dark souls should be played in english

>>713629310
I like the upgraded worm launcher but they're kinda useless overall unless you build yourself specifically for them from the start

>>713634404
Well yes, because it's an outlier and Miyazaki made that entire series with English voice acting in mind. Pretty much the exception to the rule thoughbeit.

>>713631514
it needs one purely to rework the final 2 levels and that shitty ending

>>713633462
Whop your ARS(e), whop your ARS(e), whop your ARS(e) on the counter!

>>713632189
that's exactly why they want to remake it

The hybrids look like shot in any version with the goofy ah worms.

>>713634951
NAH

why is shodan seething in ss2 her experiment was a success

>>713621531
Yeah its really fun

>>713635606
shodan is always seething cause shes a dumb bitch

>>713628740
How does that even happen? The game has an auto save slot for every level transition, and levels themselves aren't that long to warrant a major loss of progress.

Kinda wish they went for a complete remake with SS1 remake art style instead. I really like how it looks.

>>713622134
Heard rumors that Flat2VR Studios might pick it up

>>713635759
they probably will at some point
this one is just here because it was a kickstarter goal for the Remake and need to fill their promise

>>713635721
He died twice in medical. After the second death he went something like
>"ok we're done here"
And then the stream ended.

>>713635606
Women hate when they get what they ask for.

I wanted to buy it, given that SS2 is the whole reason to be for Nigdive and me playing SS2 from like 2001.
Even the retard pripyatbeast is kinda irrelevant.
However their pathetic boss fight in the end of SS1 remake is what sealed my non-buynary self-identification for me.

>>713636093
Did you play it before or after they remade the last boss? And not like the last boss in original was good either.

>>713620003
Based.

>>713636250
It's gomplicated and boring.
Irrational (and imsims overall) always sucked with bosses, that's a given.
I'd respect Nigdive's attempt at creating a cyberspace boss ending if they had the balls to make cyberspace not suck.
Like, crib a couple of things from Descent, a couple of things from, say, Sega Shadowrun and so on.
But the way they did it was so hapless that it left me disgusted.

>>713635606
woman moment (proof she isn't a tranny)

so are they still making ss3 or is that dead

>>713637115
Rights are held by crypto chinks. Shit is dead forever.

>>713637115
Rights for it are absolutely fucked like with every cult classic from the early 2000.

>>713637335
They unfucked System Shock rights only to fuck it up once again...

>>713637484
Genuinely why didn't OtherSide sell the rights to Nightdive? They were still working on the Remake at the same time

>>713637610
Crypto bros paid more.

>>713604480 (OP)
nah

cool now go do this for deus ex

>PC has the original which works really well and has a shit ton of graphical mods for free
>PS4/PS5 just got a rerelease of the PS2 version with trophy support
I doubt it

>>713638019
you could say the same for ss2

>>713637842
Just play Revision with Biomod enabled if you want them graphics. Or get GMDX augmented edition which came out recently.
I'm a firm believer that og Deus doesn't need any remake crap, but I wish someone remade Invincible War because it has so much potential to be a cool game

>>713638132
SS2 didn't have a console port, this remaster is the only one so you could argue it has some worth for trophy whores

>>713638201
>GMDX augmented edition
if this remaster wasnt coming out tomorrow i'd play that srraight away

>>713635721
Game journalism.

>>713638519
It's the game's fault for not including PARRY and PARRY SLIDERS

>>713630902
Como anda esa economia? It's about 20 dollars on my end

>>713638654
Funny because SS2 has PARRY

>>713638519
>no red screen obfuscating your vision telling you you're low on health
dead on arrival

>>713638825
The entire screen flashes red when hit so really they were pioneers.

>>713638824
It's of mild interest to me, did they recreate this Thief atavism or not.

>>713638654
It does
>>713638824
Isn't joking but it's not exactly an advertised feature. Melee weapons can hit each other and cancel the attack.

>>713605837
It was a shit game anon. The only reason I bought it over 20 years ago is because I liked the film. There are like two cutscenes at most most that reference the film and the gameplay especially the shooting is early ps2 era lazy auto aim bullshit.

>>713638519
Have you never played a dungeon crawler?

>>713605837
the thing game was always considered fucking abysmal dogshit. no clue why they even bothered remastering it. literally no one was asking for it

>>713639317
???? I'm not GiantGay.

i dont care what you cynical, bitter cunts will say, i really would love a remaster of this game.

>>713604480 (OP)
For the same exact game with slightly updated graphics? No, why the fuck would anyone care that much?

>>713607729
Extremely based. A few lighting enhancements, texture detail upgrades, and the integration of the expansion pack into one package that runs well on modern OS would be perfection. A "remake" of AVP1 could be interesting though would probably be really difficult to do because of the old fashioned style of movement and level design

>>713639460
I'd really prefer something new as hard-hitting as the OG DX.

for me its pic related. this game feels great and looks great, but i'd still love an optimization remaster that makes this thing run well on modern systems. i have a really hard time playing this without stuttering, crashes and other janky shit.

>>713639460
No. There are certain things we don't remaster out of respect.

I don't believe you

who says it would be? im asking for a REMASTER not a REMAKE. just simply scaling up textures and making it run more smoothly and better font resolution and shit. i hate this retarded attitude here that it somehow gets erased if we just get a convenience upgrade to play around with. fucking faggots.

>>713620003
thanks for the tip

Nah it's more they don't understand what the fuck they are doing. Happens all the time with different steam SKUs and early releases.
They'll fix it it might take 48 hours or something though lol.

>>713640265
my PR shitshow senses are tingling

>>713640997

Yes. Just for comparison sake I bought the remake thing for $50 AUD. The SS2 thing is selling for $40 AUD. Absolutely absurd.

Enhanced edition is all you need.

play the enhanced edition and fiddle with the settings until you're comfortable

Any good repack/Portable for Alien VS Predator 2?

>>713641248
no fucking idea. only guess it was marketing stunt back then and they actually started working on it "for real" sometime last year, after all works on ss1 remake were done

>>713640042
it's unfortunately true, but I see they updated the marker icons a bit

It was being made from scratch until they found the source code apparently.

>>713640426
You elected a senile old man and a mixed race airhead, and proceeded to demonize the opposition when people thought something was wrong, like that sudden straight jump when they were counting the polls. You flat out ignored months of riots during a pandemic, and overblown a protest that went out of control, due to fed agitators.

>>713621493
He supported his tranny friends in attempting to cancel Vinny Vinesauce though

>>713641609
that's what i think too, they just threw it in as a SS1 remake preorder bonus to boost sales and couldn't be arsed to actually do it in time

I think there's one older guy who is like their KEX engine expert so he works on one game at a time. This would mean that SiN's remaster would probably be next to be released

>>713641593
just the one you've heard about

>>713642025
Nah Deus Ex is awesome except for the catacombs and then alright after that piece of shit level.
SS2 is great until the Rickenbacker

>SiN's remaster
NO!

>>713642182
uh, where?

>>713642187
More like Greategghuntbacker

>>713642268
Eugh!

>>713642387
The "reverse gravity" section was pretty cool though.

>>713642268
were they going to do more with those black eggs originally? I know they basically had to rush development near the end resulting in "Nah" and The Many feeling underbaked

@grok aint reading all this shit, sum it up

>>713642481
I have no inside baseball knowledge, but I'd assume it was a cheap way to pad up the levels.
Rickenbacker as a whole has two memorable areas, the docking bay and the chapel, but otherwise it has no identity.
Rushed.

>>713642812
No.

her horni stack went unbearably overflow, so she decided to give the whole flesh thing a go

>>713644210
Destroy the cameras dummy.

SILENCE THE DISCORD!

>>713644316
In System Shock 1? That has nothing to do with enemy respawns at all.

>>713644316
No, that's property damage, and that's bad

Everyone itt keeps saying it's just a texture mod but didn't they add multiplayer? I dunno if I'd say that's worth the price alone but it makes me wonder if anything else was added that you guys aren't mentioning.

>>713644427
If you destroy all cameras and computer nodes in a floor enemies stop respawning.

>>713643876
There's an audio log of hers near a surgery table where she talks about finding some gear and a military neural implant. I've heard a theory that the implant was Shodan's path into her noggin as a backup plan. But that's just fan speculation, like how the fuck Beta Grove travelled all the way to Tau Ceti in like 35 years.
>Uh maybe there was a wormhole somewhere
And now apparently the wormhole is mentioned in an audio log in the SS1 remake lel

>>713644549
No they don't. Dumb remake faggot

>>713644096
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhjkBE3d3Uw&t=1055s

>>713644549
Where did you get that information from? That is not true at all. In the System Shock 1 remake has finite levels of respawns but they're not dependent on cameras or nodes. In the original enemies will continuously spawn in once the population becomes low enough and change slightly when the reactor is set to self-destruct. The Security and the Bridge levels have no respawns.

>>713640608
latest is that if you bought on fanatical/gmg you have to email them and show a bunch of proof and then MAYBE they will give you a key, when they could just add the app id for SS2: 25 to the retail pre-purchase (tier 1) keys that people received.. why are they making people jump through hoops?

>>713643827
God they aged like dogshit. They're not even 60 and look like ghouls

This seems overpriced the from the ground up remake for SS1 was $40 and this one is just a remaster with updated textures and UI and it’s $30
How does that make sense??

>>713645430
it doesn't
starting with turok 3, nightdive decided to hike price on all their remasters to $30 no matter the work done
and i haven't bought one since

>>713644210
i ended up installing a mod to halve the respawns when i played the remake recently, though i only did it pretty close to the end of the game

pretty annoying killing an enemy and then immediately seeing another spawn out of the ground

>>713645752
>to hike price on all their remasters to $30 no matter the work done
Well that's just a straight up lie
But yeah, no way these games are worth more than 20

>>713621531
dont listen to these retards, the remake is actual visual diarrhea, unironically worse graphics than the OG

>>713646341

>>713621531
They cut content and mechanics from the original

>>713646679
What content did they cut? Are you talking about those MFD minigames?

>>713646907
even if this mod mitigates the eye searing lighting/graphics, the fact remains that this remake looks subpar. It looks too arcadey/gamey, the atmosphere is completely GUTTED compared to the OG.

>It looks too arcadey/gamey

they deserve the money desu. the cynical userbase of /v/ will disagree but the games that ND remaster and patch are 10 trillion times more valuable than the bullshit gaming has been giving us the past 10 years anyway.
