This riveting reimagination of the original game is intended for both original fanatics and newcomers who didn’t get the chance to play the 1994 original. The campaign for System Shock is about to hit its $900,000 goal with nearly three weeks left on the clock, so if you’re interested in helping System Shock meet its most ambitious stretch goals, now is the time to check out the reward tiers, play the demo, and see what the devs have to offer.Set for release in 2018, a remake of System Shock is currently being developed by a dream-team collaboration of a group of veteran developers responsible for contemporary classics such as BioShock, Mass Effect and Fallout: New Vegas - thanks to a hugely successful Kickstarter project. The original System Shock has aged shockingly well, no pun intended, but it looks like this remaster is focusing on the aspects that have aged the most, and I had a great time with the demo. It looks like the level design will remain largely intact and unchanged, with the “remaking” occurring everywhere else – in the visuals, sound design, and mechanics. Say what you will about the quality of the demo, but if nothing else, it proves that the devs are willing to put in the work and expertise required to make System Shock’s reboot a worthy retelling of the original. Of course, a campaign this young can only tell us so much about the final product, but as you’ve probably heard, this Kickstarter has something substantial to offer each and every person that stops by – a free playable demo of the beginning of the game.

This week’s Kickstarter Game of the Week is the impending remake of System Shock, and while reboots can take many ghastly forms, this one seems pretty sweet.įrom the textures to the animations and enemy designs, everything about the new System Shock reboot, developed by Nightdive Studios, looks like a step in the right direction. Welcome back to Cliqist’s Kickstarter Game of the Week, a special segment where we unlock the darkest secrets of underwater basket weaving.
