System Shock Remake Kickstarter Campaign and Pre-Alpha Demo

This game remains in my top-3 of all time. I absolutely adore it.

Obviously, I've already backed it.

The demo is quite good considering the early stage of development, but I'm not a huge fan of the strange retro-textures they're using. Other than that, though, it seems extremely faithful - and the controls are already vastly improved from the original.

Here's hoping it's funded - and I'd love for the 1.4M stretch goal to be reached.

Having SS2 RPG elements in SS1 would be wonderful.

They're getting close to 600K out of 900K

I'm deeply concerned you guys don't seem to have any interest in this game.

Are you fully aware of how big a deal this game was back in 1994? For me, it changed gaming forever.

Well they're actually doing OK -- they have nearly a month to go and are 2/3 of the way there. If the team starts getting out there and streaming, participating in interviews, etc., I think they'll get it done. I backed it.

I think so, too - I was just hoping for a more excited response around here.

Also, I'd love for them to reach the 1.4M stretch goal!

I think they will make the 1.4 mil if they get the word out there more about the kickstarter. There's a lot of people here who aren't really into first person games, more RPG people than anything, so I think that might be why the threads aren't garnering as much attention as you would hope. I'm super pumped for a remake of the original System Shock. I played through the second one again recently and have missed the series immensely.

Hehe, I did my last playthrough of SS2 cooperatively with my brother not too long ago.

Yeah, you're probably right - it's not really the kind of game the average MMO fan is likely to care about.

However, it's also not the most well known franchise - so I'm just trying to spread the word a bit in my own modest way.

Loved the original, enjoyed the demo, backed the kickstarter. Now we wait . . .
