NightDive Studios has opened its KickStarter crowd-funding initiative for its remake of System Shock. The team hopes to raise $900,000 during the course of the campaign. To help "sell" the game to backers, a pre-alpha demo of some of the earliest content has been released to allow fans to "try before you buy".

    Backed it. Damn, System Shock was one of the early games that has always stuck with me. Such a fantastic game.

    Backing seems to have slowed down significantly. Oh, they'll make it - but I'm starting to have serious doubts about the stretch goals.

    I backed it definitely but I think that there are a couple things in play here:

    1) KickStarter fatigue is real
    2) The Nostalgia Factor is so prevalent EVERYWHERE -- movies, TV, games. While I love trying to recapture the past, maybe there's simply too much of it and you start to wonder whether or not there are original ideas out there anywhere

    But I think you're right on stretch goals -- pretty "iffy", I think.

    Actually, I meant their ability to reach the stretch goals :)

    That said, I only care about the 1.3 and 1.4M goals. The rest seem pointless to me.
