Can see the jank-yness occasionally. If it's as good as Prey I'll be impressed.

No, I mean Bloodlines 2. Bloodlines 2 will be worse than even Ascendant. Ascendant was made by incompetent people but largely with good intentions -- Bloodlines 2 is made by incompetent people with bad intentions.

Still just a graphics teaser by and large. You have a wrench and a gun and there are zombies. Uh huh. I'm not rooting against them; there's just nothing to talk about.

Well, except the mention of it taking place at a TriOp Blacksite in 2085. System Shock 1 took place in 2072 and System Shock 2 in 2114, so it looks like they could be retconning or ignoring the sequel entirely. I wouldn't be surprised given Spector's ardent preference for the first game, but I would be disappointed.

I don't think it will be worse.
Creatively? Maybe. Unlikely. At least Vtmb 2 will have a story and NPCs and factions and quests. What hell did UA have?
Technically? No way. UA cannot be surpassed in the bugs department. You can barely call that a game. It makes Bethesda games look polished.

That "trailer" was OK for a current year game that doesn't exist. Apart from criminally missing the mark with Shodan's visual design.

Still, it's all bs, so whatever.

They apparently also got a brief description about the game:

System Shock 3 is a first-person action game in which you are free to play and explore how you want. You can be a hacker, a stealth specialist, a melee master, etc. as you uncover the mysteries of the space ship that's been taken over by the evil AI, SHODAN.

Love that there’s no ”first-person RPG game” pretense, just ”action game.”

Trailer says it's 2085, which is 29 years before SS2's event. So this might be a interquel or something. That brings many more questions though. (Is this another SHODAN than SS2 SHODAN?)
That makes no sense, didn't Warren say SS3 starts right after SHODAN uploads herself to that woman's body in SS2's ending?

From 2016 interview:

At the end of the second game, Shodan downloads herself into a human woman called Rebecca Siddons, leaving a cliffhanger. This will be the starting point of System Shock 3.

"We are going to be picking up all of the loose threads of System Shock 2. Rebecca Siddons is going to appear in this game, for sure," he said.

Spector pointed out that there are six survivors from the previous games. Their stories will all be addressed in System Shock 3 as well. Among the NPCs, there's Shodan and Siddons as well as her colleague, Tommy Suarez. The story will also include Rebecca Lansing, who was the player's human guide in the first game.

Also, the game will feature the two previous protagonists: the hacker from the original game, and the soldier from System Shock 2.

"We're going to tell their story," said Spector. "There are a lot of questions that went unanswered in those first two games and we have an obligation to fans to fill in the blanks. For new players I think that will pull them into a compelling narrative."

The story will also delve into the history of Edward Diego, a key character in the first game who persuades the player to hack into Shodan.

The original System Shock takes place in the year 2072, while System Shock 2 takes place 42 years later in 2114, also the year in which the new game picks up the story.

And where are you gameplay wise Warren? I didn't see anything there

Exactly. For a game that was supposedly "Half way complete" over 8 months ago, this "gameplay" teaser is just a bunch of bullshots and other nonsense.

If this is the shit they have been showing potential publishers...it's no wonder not one of them has bit.

Looks like shit...Smells like shit...tastes like shit.

Hmmm...Must be shit then.

System Shock 2 was 20 years ago. I'm not surprised its trailer looks like crap.

I'm pretty sure SS3 will just be a totally linear zombie shooter, though. Sort of like Dead Space 2, but first-person.

A confident developer would showcase open spaces or more locations.

I don't trust the devs.
