Vapourware System Shock 3 by OtherSide Entertainment - taken over by Tencent!

[MasterLobar]

Thanks. Another parallel universe. Seems like the only places where an objective discussion is taking place is the Steam Forum and the rpgCodex.

 

[Roguey]

Dev forums and dev discords are going to be populated with true believers.

 

[unfairlight]

They already are. Discord, Reddit and dev forums are always full of people who dutifully extol the developers and their games. Negativity will get you banned for trolling.

My contribution to System Shock 3
I was responsible for the high-res modeling
Great concept art by Daniel Hahn

What the fuck is that

Looks like something that was rejected from Ghost In The Shell for being too edgy

They said game was more than halfway finished months ago, and this is all we get, some artist conception screens that even i could do better.

Born liars, jail them, lock them up, make an example of them.

Now where is my pitchfork ... seriously though, why are these dumb ass's even allowed to spend money ruining yet another treasured franchise?

This is borderline fraud.

Warren Spector's talk at Reboot conference (which may be a part of the quest for the publisher I assume): http://www.rebootdevelopblue.com/schedule.pdf

(GMT+2)

SATURDAY 13.4.2019
12:30 - 13:30

Warren Spector, OtherSide Entertainment
Stay On Target: Game Goals and the Definition(s) of Success

Seems like the same subject he's been talked about last few years. I guess that GI (media partner) mark means this talk will be recorded or livestreamed.

No, it's part of that same statement he will stop making games entirely if he can't make games with criteria like these:

Also in the same vein:

(These rules were detailed here.)


Yeah, it's more or less the same talk.




Live tweet summary:

"I'll stop making games"

We believe you, Warren. You'll just keep talking about them instead.

This. You become one of those when you die in System Shock 1.

Not sure about the connection to System Shock 3 though, they weren't around in System Shock 2. Perhaps Shodan is reusing some old designs, for nostalgia's sake :-P.

I'm going to give Otherside some possibly undue credit. This design might be a throwback because Shodan created the Many and it rebelled against her. So she's going back to full machines because (like most women) she doesn't want to deal with something organic and inherently uncontrollable. That would be my thought if I was a decent writer who wanted my villain to undergo character development and learn from their mistakes. This is a dangerous assumption on my part considering Otherside's other work.

 

[Yosharian]

The problem is, it just doesn't look creepy. Maybe it'll look better with a body hanging off the front of it, shrug

 

[glass blackbird]

looks like something adam jensen would fight

System Shock 3 will basically be a Deus Ex game confirmed

 

[Psquit]

that would be an improvement.

 

[MasterLobar]

But this threequel is coming to PS4

So they are going to make it with a console focus.

 

[LESS T_T]

I don't think they've ever confirmed specific consoles to release. It's been just "PC and consoles" from the initial publisher press release. (I thought that ambiguity comes from the fact they were not sure the next generation will be a thing when this game comes out in, like 2020.)

Dammit, I cannot un-see a hypnotized Cartman on her forehead!

[Child of Malkav]

Yeah, when it gets cancelled.

 

[Glic2000]

When they start to run low on money they'll just turn it into a very linear first person shooter.

 

[MasterLobar]

SS3 is not going to be completed, neither as the game envisioned nor as a watered-down FPS.

OS has no publisher for this game and has to pay back $7 million to Starbreeze.

Even if they have a path to making a linear FPS by spending just another $1-2 million (I doubt it), it wouldn't be possible because they have to refund Starbreeze.
