[mindx2]

When does this go live?

 

[LESS T_T]

Less than one and half hours later.

 

[Jagged Appliance]

DnB is SS2, not SS1, kinda disappointed there. Still better than generic horror strings though.

Less than one and half hours later.

Eh.

 

[Infinitron]

Haha, he's getting it.

Let's see how fast it will ramp up in the next few hours.

 

[Turtle-Zone 3000]

KS comes with obligatory Chris Avellone.

 

[---]

It is not a good Kickstarter without Chris Avellone

 

[Owl]

He will "bring modern AAA quality into the world of System Shock"

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

MCA is becoming the official Kickstarter mascot or something?

Aside from my CPU sounding like it's dying from immolation and having to drop the resolution to 1280x720, that demo wasn't bad. We've seen it already elsewhere but it's clearly not just raping blatantly shitty reboot. And yes, Polygon is just that bad - gun aimed fine when I tried it, even though it seems to be somewhere in the same class as Imperial Guard's flashlights as far as damage output goes. Stick to your trusty pipe.

One of the easiest KS pledges for me. Too bad I don't have $10,000 lying around to get a signed copy of the Collector's Edition Box... .

Will pledge more if when we have a Codex fundraiser here... I want a chance to get the Citadel Station model!!!*

Spoiler

Though DarkUnderlord still never agreed to send me the TToN statuette even after besting the RPG Watch 3-0...

DON'T GIVE THEM MORE THAN 1.7 MILLION

 

[Ivan]

mindx2 How much did ya pledge?

 

[pippin]

Almost everything of the extra shit sounds like... well... shit.

 

[mindx2]

mindx2 How much did ya pledge?

I'm only at the $150 tier right now as I would rather throw away give my money towards a Codex fundraiser if when one happens here.

edit: Also, really Chris Avellone... another KS stretch goal... now your just messing with us.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Tried the demo. It would be wrong of me to criticize the game based on the demo, but there are a few things worth pointing out.

# When you reach the Saturn view, look up. You'll see the rest of Citadel Station looming above you. With all groves present, seemingly.

# I'm pretty certain that the Sun is NOT that bright when you're as far away from it as Saturn is.

# The station spins, so the exterior view changes. If anyone has more patience than I, maybe they can check if anything comes into view.

EDIT: LOL, now I have a legit complaint: When you complete the demo, it opens up the browser to take you to the Kickstarter page. When I tried to uninstall the demo, however, it wouldn't let me, and when I shut down Steam to force it to terminate...it shut down the browser.

huh ? seems like upgrade to me. Who doesn't want more types of ammo ?

Ethical Restraints Removed is sounds pretty decent, though DnB would sound stupid in-game if I wasn't in combat (like with Med/Sci 1). I like the remixed Opening theme. But no, orchestral music has no place on Catedil Station. At least not something that sounds THAT orchestral should be played, I think Black Mesa managed the more melancholic tracks with strings to fit in with the game better.
Also, special voiced audiologs placed in the game as a backer reward for those who have nothing better to do with their money. Getting PoE flashbacks yet?
I hope this gets funded, but that it doesn't reach its stretch goals. I fear all the new shit they are promising and throwing in will disrupt the levels and gameplay balance.
