System Shock System Shock 2 Enhanced Edition by Nightdive Studios

[prengle]

chances are i've said this a thousand times before, but the new ss2ee models look like low budget unity mobile game assets. they have the same flat handpainted look every cheap indie game does now and it looks fucking rancid

The point I'm making is: compared to a typical herpu derpu modder or an EE butchering, these look OK

i honestly think rebirth's models look better, and that's not a great sign considering rebirth is HOPW ROEWUR NE-core at its finest (unless you install this and this. then it's fine :>)

The main question for me is why a studio of around 10 employees has so many things on the go at once. Seems odd.

because nightdive are greedy inept sellout cunts lol

You're entitled to your honest opinion and yeah, rebirth's midwife would come p close to being able to replace the face that never remembered.

 

[Fronzel Neekburm]

Besides overhauling the models, and, I assume, environmental assets, what else are they even "enhancing"?

The price tag.

 

[Sentinel]

this releasing?

The original looks more chad. I hope my prestigious nah! ending won't lose any gravitas due to soy influx.

 

[T.Ashpool]

i think it looks good. i'm glad they retained the SOVL

I am a fan of the dark engine aesthetic so I think changing that up is a bit sacrilege but I do like how faithful the new models are. I think you guys are tripping if you prefer how that crap rebirth mod looks, although I do respect it on the principle that the mod doesn't charge you money for a model swap.

Now he looks like a Russian hacker

I always thought he had black hair, not a beanie.

It's clearly a beanie if you look at the actual texture:

I'll be honest. As a gay guy, I think the old model is a lot more attractive. They just made him look like a nerd with the new model.

 

[prengle]

i too become irreversibly rock-hard whenever i look at this perfectly chiseled masterpiece of a visage, goggles is a total fucking stud. nightdive's travesty of a "replacement" model is so low-t it's simply insulting

It's clearly a beanie if you look at the actual texture:

Or the original SS2 concept art

 

[ShaggyMoose]

Nah...

 

[Venser]

Just look at this beauty

Just for shiggles I reinstalled my GoG version of this, plus these https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=4447.0 , just to keep it simple.
I planned to play perhaps through the end of Sci/Med bug got sucked in as far as Deck 4. This game holds up very well and shames many current titles...after 2 freakin' decades.


As mentioned above, Prey is a respectable modern SS2 ripoff/clone/homage and surprisingly good coming from Bethesda, but SS2 is still king.

 

[Morgoth]

Are these hacks ever going to release this or what?

Arkane Studios made Prey 2017.
Bethesda Softworks was the publisher.

I guess it's coming soon? Two days ago, they added themselves as one of developers. They usually do this for KEX games. https://steamdb.info/app/238210/history/?changeid=14073398

 

[Tweed]

Fake developers for fake games.

 

[Diggfinger]

What about getting System Shock 1 (remaster, reboot whatever it is) done?
Does NightDive have 500 ppl working there?

 

[LESS T_T]

They have two teams. KEX (remaster) team and SS remake team. You probably can say the profits from what KEX team did feed SS remake team.
