but I think they've overall done a terrible job with the SS1 remake
I don't know where the idea comes from that the Epic Games Store is going to throw around millions of dollars to fund games no publisher wants to make. That's pretty ridiculous. EGS is certainly not going to bail out Otherside.

Different studio.
Pathetic. PC Gamer - OtherSide will self-publish System Shock 3 if it has to, but hopes someone else will do it

System Shock 3 ‘has a lot of interest from publishers’
BUT DEVELOPER HASN’T RULED OUT SELF-PUBLISHING

Just stepping in that I believe this news isnt even new; we conducted the original interview with Warren back in February/March
It would break NDA to reveal who was interested as well as the terms...
Btw, any publisher who agrees to fund SS3 would have to refund Starbreeze and thereby bail out a competitor.

Eh, publishers buying things from dying (or dead) publishers always happen. Case in point, Rockstar/Take Two just bought a studio in India from Starbreeze for $7.9 million.
That was an art outsourcing company with over 300 employees
Unless said art outsourcing company had a disaster as big as Underworld Ascendant, it isn't comparable.Yeah. The point is company buying thing from other company

I think it would be much, much better if the team doing the System Shock 1 remake was working on SS3, because they already made their mistakes, refocused, and then hit their stride awhile ago.

We're being very picky :D

Waiting for the new UA branch to upload on Steam so I can grab some more trailer footage;;
I'm relieved that we were able to buy back our IP rights while Starbreeze is working itself out, at least
This is somewhat related to the new thread on the OSE forums about the lessons learned from UA, but talking to publishers for Shock3 has been more thorough as we want to make sure our needs are covered. Having a more robust QA team, for example, would do wonders. (Austin's local QA is a little larger than ours in Boston, I believe, but it would still be immensely helpful to make sure we're covering multiple OS and hardware setups through a publisher, etc)

Two months after releasing their 30-second trailer, they are still showing exactly the same stuff.
Speaking of violence, I guess this is combat designer of SS3. Jimmy Sedota, worked on Middle-Earth games at Monolith, and Anthem and Andromeda at BioWare: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmy-sedota-2558a71/
