System Shock

I see this game has been released today. Anybody pick it up yet?

Getting it as we speak.
Played the demo released in February and it’s just GLORIOUS.

So, I got her started last night. Is the intention to make the game feel retro?

Some things looked a bit low poly/pixelated. I did have a bit of difficulty switching out of 1920 res to 2k and am not entirely sure that it is running what I think it is. :thinking:

Yeah I imagined someone would have felt that- yes the texture and overall artistic direction is Hi-Poly/Low Rez.

I can ( almost :wink: ) imagine it being a deal breaker for someone- BUT- I promise you that after a few minutes in the depth of Citadel’s bowels you don’t notice it anymore. it just works.

That said I am biased because I still play the original System Shock every December (it’s a long story) and for me this art style really does pay the right sort of respect towards its progenitor.

Thanks!

Yeah, the thought did occur to me that they were trying to emulate the feel of the original. Just wanted to make sure.

FWIW, I’ve been playing this and loving it.

I don’t think SS style will be an issue for me! :laughing:

Actually, the story of why you replay the original every Christmas sounds exactly like the kind of story I’d like to hear. :grin:

Indeed! Watched the reviews from the youtubers Gmanlives,Icaruslives and Civvie11 (the best when it comes to Boomer Shooters!) and I was left literally salivating…

I was blown away when I found out it all runs on the Unreal Engine… the pixels look so CRISP!

Does it VR?

Anyone tried yet with vorpX?

I am back home this Sunday evening so would like to know in advance :grinning:

Not natively… I remember a mod last September? October? but it was for the Demo…

This time I did it intentionally, but the first time I played the original DOS version I was pretty surprised when I did it completely by accident.
