Games System shock 3

[chipper]

so i didnt actually know about doom 4 happening i saw the trailer with the demon with mounted chain guns and just thought meh i didn't know demons had access to the local weapons store.

anyway i knew about this a while back. I'm surprised there is no thread on it? its definitely happening apparently but almost no info on it yet.
anyone excited for the prospect of it? SS2 scared the absolute shit out of me more than any other game has done. those damn ghost flashbacks made my skin crawl every time! truly one of the best games I've ever played, i hope this can at least come close to its sense of terror.

Otherside Tease

Very very excited as SS2 is one of my alltime favourite games, made by some of the same guys that worked on Thief 1 & 2.
As of now they are working on a sort of remake, called Underworld Ascendant which looks really really nice, so hoping that turns out great, and that will be an indication on how SS3 will turn out.

Whoa - this I will keep a close eye on. I played both SS1 and SS2, and SS2 was the best game I had played.

I have it from GOG, with res packs and sound packs and everything. SS3 with today's capabilities? Give me!!!

 

[Wij]

Erm. I never played SS1 or 2

I just played Ultima Underworld 2 repeatedly.

Warren Spector joined the team making System Shock 3. Very excited

Remake of System Shock 1 coming up as well.

Remake of System Shock 1 coming up as well.

That actually looks not-shit. They've definitely captured the essence of the originals aesthetics despite starting from scratch and using a completely modern engine.

Apparently one of the developers that worked with Dark age of Camelot is on board. Interesting!
