It's time for fans of the sci-fi horror genre to get excited. While it's something that has been talked about for a while now, Night Dive Studios has now revealed pre-alpha footage for the upcoming "System Shock" remaster. And it looks suitably atmospheric and creepy (though was that "Inception" boom at the end really necessary?)
The two minute video gives us an early insight into what the developers hope to do with the title; they have previously stated they're aiming to "keep the new game true to the classic experience," whilst still updating its UI and visuals to meet modern day standards.
The game is currently set to launch for the Xbox One and PC and is being built with the Unity engine. A crowd-funding Kickstarter campaign will be launching soon to help fund the project.
"System Shock" was originally released in 1994 and was a first-person sci-fi horror game that saw you exploring a space station that was on control of a malevolent AI called SHODAN, who some gamers will tell you is a better antagonist than GLADOS. It was originally produced by Warren Spector, who went on to direct "Deus Ex" and is currently working with another studio, OtherSide Entertainment, and is now working on "System Shock 3."
There is no release date for either the remaster or the three-quel at this moment.
