Do you think fan mods will fix most of these smaller issues within a year or so? Feels like a "wait and see" situation with post-launch patches and fan mods which will tighten up loose ends.
Word for real, maybe someone can mod a few Bluezone Corporation impacts in there and it would beef up the hits quite a bit. Not sure how open access is to the sound files, but that may just work
Yeah, you're right. Any sort of feedback would help so much. Like, just an electric sound effect and a burst of sparks would make the rapier feel so much better.
Realistically speaking yeah probably, unfortunately not a point of favor in a game. Perhaps a happy medium could be found with the right amount of sparks and burn marks appearing across enemies.
@@breadguyyy Indeed. Hardly any sense of impact unless you get a critical hit or whatever it is, and the enemy's head explodes across the room all of a sudden.

I, for one, appreciate those little touches. It'd be nice if they add an option to disable these repetitive animations, though.
@@DeltaAssaultGaming why? So the game will still look outdated in 5 years? Having a style all its own instead of following the trend of bloated, hard drive consuming games that lack personality was the better choice and most players will be grateful that they didn’t have to dump another game just to play a remake of a nearly 30 year old one. Part of me wants the 100+GB version with insane textures and terrible frame rate but I’ll still be happy with this version given that the team has put out a project they were passionate about in a gaming landscape full of cash grabs so broken that most people can’t play them for at least a month after release.
@@derpthegr8689 This. Happy to see a company choose an interesting art style over the same "realistic" nonesense that doesn't even play well at launch.
I kickstarted this game, and I personally don't mind the delays and waits tbh. I dealt with far worse projects. I should know, because I backed Mighty No. 9.
Not the exact same as Backing something, but I shelled out $120 for DNF Collector's Edition AND $60 for Brink both back in 2011, so I feel that pain lmao. So glad this turned out the way it did!
With the music in the first game, my take on it is that it's great music but seems like an odd fit tonally. The best example is probably the medical theme song. The music's vibe is actually very welcoming, and it draws imagery of "shopping at a store you like" or "arriving at your workplace when you have a job you like". This is an odd choice for a level where you wake up in an abandoned hospital onboard a space station controlled by a creepy-as-hell AI.
Very true, my first time playing the game the music was off for whatever reason (I think midi wasn't setup right). It was an incredibly haunting game. Then I heard the sound track later and was very happy my first experience was without it.
THIS. So many people complain about the remake not having the og music, but the remake's makes way more sense tonally and it always will. The original sounded far to energetic for what the game truly was. "Omg I'm all alone on a space station controlled by an ai that turned the crew into monsters. Let me bob my head to this epic music while I try to survive." Just silly
The recycler concept kinda reminds of Prey from Arkcane being able to take your junk items and swap them out for something more useful ie neuromods, ammunition, weapons and etc. The limited inventory is also, in my opinion, a nice touch. Especially for those who played SystemShock 2 are already familiar with it; it does add a level of urgency and critical thinking. Kinda like the classic Resident evil games, which you had to strategize on what items you should be collecting plus having an "item box" available does solve the limited inventory. Yes back tracking will be something that people might have to adjust, but you already had to do that in the original.
I think the remake went for a scarier, sinister vibe. Thus relying more on silence and ambient sounds, I also find the soundtrack and audio logs to be a great improvement despite the soundtrack being a little low; the original audio has not aged well at all. Overall pretty happy with how it turned out, could have been worse, could have been better, but a solid installment nonetheless.
4:30 The pacing might seem off, but if you look at the laptop the hacker is working from, you can see a program already running trying to brute-force a password into the Trioptimum network. With the hover drone intro sequence, it's likely that when it pans into the hacker's apartment that they already backtracked the source of the infiltration and had already sent cyborg assassins.
Bro going by your polls you can actually interpret is as all the people that have played 1 prefer it lol. Should include a third option for preference surveys to indicate an answer of lack of familiarity with all the options. People when surveyed will usually just answer with what their familiar with if they haven’t tried all the options, rather than abstaining from answering entirely.
Game dev here, and I can assure you that the "respawning" screens and text crawl is DEFINITELY for loading. Classic Unreal trick to cover how it streams in sublevels.
07:21 - that comment is pretty amusing to me. I've read an old "plan" file from John Carmack, where, up to the Quake 3 engine, the longest running visual complaint he got from players, were the "looney tunes effect". Where interact-able objects and map entities within the world could be easily discerned due to the difference in lighting. That happens because pre-baking shadow and lighting passes between the world itself and brush entities(part of maps that are turned into active objects, like a door, a lever, a moving platform, or a breakable window), are done differently as a means of simplifying/optimizing lighting calculations(remember the hardware of the era). The common visual telltales are; Brush entities have more simplified shading. Brush entities does not have, nor casts a shadow at all. General entities(like player and enemy characters, weapon and item pickups, world models) are lighted differently, most common real-time lighting system at the time was the technique called "goraud shading". In short; incredibly crude, very simple, but hey, it's the best way to light objects in game that doesn't melt your 8mb graphics card. It's why he's incredibly proud of being able to finally implement, unified, per-pixel lighting on the Doom 3 engine. The idea that the world itself, and the various interact-able things within that world, are now both lighted correctly, and in real-time.
When you chose to partner with an unknown publisher like Prime Matter, this is what you get. Terrible marketing, bad planning and consequently a threat to the future of your studio.
I feel the combat fits the tone alright. Peaking around a corner taking shots across the room feels desperate. I've wasted rounds shooting after they're dead but my plasma pistol shoots people in half. It feels scary and I shouldn't be hitting too hard anyways. I'm just an insect after all.
I'm actually alright with the length to the ressurection in the remake. It gives the player time to 'cool off' and think about how (and why) they snuffed it, rather than simply barrel out of the respawn and back into the fight. I appreciate it can be frustrating though, I had a few moments where I was a bit too slow with purging radiation or a biohazard damage tick and was just waiting to respawn. The audiolog animation started to get annoying towards the end as well. The audio logs fell off a cliff late game though, so... eh.
Combat felt okay on my end... Besides melee, obviously. Serviceable, but not great. I felt like I could see the enemies recoil, robots sparked like CRAZY. The spark blaster is also awesome, especially at full power. I don't really get the music criticisms either.
i played the enhanced edition with my left thumb on a laptop touchpad(for precision mouse use) and my right hand holding half an xbox controller (for movement and a couple buttons) it was immersive as heck
Night Dive Studios did an excellent job remaking System Shock. It looks well made, and the graphics are fluent and big free. All of these AAA devs should really take lesson from Night Dive, of how to make a game like System Shock.
@@TheT0nedude you say that like it's a 1:1 recreation of the original style, which it is not by a longshot. I just don't like how it looks. Might be the lighting, but something just looks so off.
I fuckin LOOOOVE the stylized pixelated look. I also loved it in black mesa hl1 remake. It's the best way to make remakes feel retro while having better lighting. (the oblivion glance is a shame though).
i feel like they should have just ripped the music from the original (and maybe spruce them up a bit? or not) and have it as an optional addition in the sound menu
Of course the laser rapier lacks weight. It's a laser---or hot plasma! But yeah, so far, it's been a phenomenal experience. Just wish I could have more feedback from my weapons other than my minipistol making them flinch or my spark gun on High/Overcharge blasting a head off
When changing a setting in-game, you need to press T to apply them or they don't take or save. It's an 'interesting' design choice. Also found that if you make the ambience sound slightly louder than the sound effects, it helps with the enemy cues. There isn't much that can be done about the other issues the game suffers from though - still a leg up from the original and really scratches that nostalgia itch for someone that played the original ^^
I think the hacker WAS already in the process of hacking before you even take control. Before you use the computer screen it mentions brute forcing passwords.
Okay so im not the only one who liked System Shock 1 over 2 lol. SS1 is still really great today. The gunplay is just great. Yes the level designs and explanation of missions are vague, but it was made at a time where text on screen was extremely hard to program. It hold up pretty well. Its why im so hyped for this game.
I personally played through the original SS and feel it aged very poorly. Its far from a bad game, but the menu and clunk surronding basic actions makes it hard for most to pick up. The game was dated not even 3 to 5 years after its creation. And that was over 20 years ago.
I was never able to get into SS1 because of the interface, but after playing the remake I'm amazed at how well every other element of the game holds up. The level design reminds me of the best parts of the original Resident Evil (yes I'm aware system shock came out first) with it's fully explorable world, backtracking to previous areas, and lack of directions, but with the mechanics and systems of an immersive sim like Deus Ex. System Shock created the immersive sim genre, and it still might be the very best of them all. All it needed was a fresh coat of paint.
@EldritchAugur yeah the remake is pretty much shot for shot remake of the original with some minor improvements to level design. I do think the gunplay is still more fun in the original in my opinion. System Shock 1 and 2 aren't that different gameplay wise. For me just lowering the music in System shock 1 made the game way more playable for some reason.
You always talk about how cool it is to explore you character's own apartment or living space in video games and you don't agree with the inclusion of it here?
Sad to see the floaty melee combat. No real reason for less impactful visual and sound design after 30 years. Still gonna eat it up but damn, if they knocked it out the park we would have a definitive masterpiece
0:50 I feel like we should let spoony retire in peace...unless he wants to do more with Linkara, which would be a hell of a way to dip his toes back into the community and video making.
As someone who did not play the original, I really enjoyed the more ambient music. I remember playing the demo and really enjoying the dark and creepy atmosphere, then comparing it to gameplay of the original and being completely jarred. I guess it's just preference, but I think I prefer the darker approach of the remake. It makes exploring the station a lot more unsettling.
as someone who played the first one in a demo and then the second one on a demo for a few seconds before my pc freezes and then i played it again many years later on a new pc with backwards combability and then played the original both on dos box and the unnoficial enhanced edition with hacked mouse look and then played the official release. Let me tell you, the game's problem isnt the graphics. Its the awfully unbalanced combat that you die in a few hits but the game spawns 40 enemies that take forever to put down, it really needs upgrades like system shock 2, and the maze like level design, not because i got lost, this is what the awful map was for, but because of how samey and unmemorable the environment were, every corridor looked the same. So this is an improvement.
@@arkgaharandan5881 if the released version is the same as the demo, then in the remake you also die very fast and enemies may respawn right after you leave they room, they didn't fix any of that. Tbh to me it felt like it's even easier to die in the remake than it was in the original and the combat somehow feels even more clunky
I must disagree. Not only the graphics were painful to deal with. The music was really jarring although I think that's due to MIDI implementation. And the gameplay was frustrating in a lot of ways. The control system was just plain garbage.
@@BoulderPunch the cool part about either version is that it’s basically built for replaying. If I went further in my second play through, I would definitely be grinding up every last thing in those first few levels
17:00 That's cuz some members of the band Tribes worked on the game IIRC and that particular song is up there with Bobby Prince ripping off metal riffs on Doom lol, you listen to NIN's "Head Like a Hole" and Reactor and go "Wait... hmmmmmmm..."
There was a different official song remixing the intro called “ethical constraints removed” and it went so fucking hard, I was hoping to hear it in game
So they got shodan back in the studio to rerecord lines.. did they change them at all or are they the exact same lines? Cuz in the demo they were the exact same.. and just kind of seems like a waste if they were going to get her back to record everything.. like why not expand it in some way or another?
yea i feel bad about paying $150 for the kickstarter when i should have just done $40. real shame she sound team and the collision effects could not live up to the kickstarter hype
Man those soundtracks for the originals. Absolute gold. Your review reminds me of the ports of DOOM where you had some ports without music or they changed it completely, and it just feels deeply wrong. At the very least, if they had to change the soundtrack, include the original as an option.
I'm so glad the Shotgun in this game has ammo that's actually useful in a fight because Shotguns are among my favorite gun types in games and them being basically useless in combat in the original system Shock was annoying. For anyone who hasn't played it the only Shotgun ammo in the original were rubber slugs. Great if you want to disable someone without severely injuring them but not so helpful IMO when fighting killer cyborgs controlled by a genocidal AI.
I really dislike all kinds of pre-canned 'looking down at my hands' animations in first-person games. It should be an option to turn on or off in the settings.
Me too. They all have this wierd bounciness to the movement that irritates me for some reason. Like they're trying too hard to make the player character looking at their hands look satisfying.
the fact far cry 4 let you disable the skinning animals and looting animations was a god send. Modders make pick up animations for new vegas and i never use them, imagine popping up 24/7 every time you press the use button, having random animations preventing you from playing the game 24/7 is annoying.
@@therentpursuer9869 They think I'm supposed to be impressed just by the concept of a first-person perspective in a game 20 years after Doom was released
Was anybody else incredibly disappointed when they opened up the game today and find that the menu system, customization key binds etc.. graphical menu all the things basically we're essentially a stock standard version of what was a completely unfunctional menu that had really cool sounding options.. key bindings that has achieved the minimum standard of being able to bind them now... but not to some buttons... like mouse four and five your thumb buttons... You know fancy graphic design and productivity kind of attack like that obviously, clearly not worth bothering with.. like thumb buttons... I will say that it seems that... the the way it would fight you seems to be less fighty... Like for instance when I asked it politely to use full screen it seemed like it wanted to do that and it was okay with that.. and it seemed to be okay with any of my custom super resolutions.. not at first of course.. but at the very least it didn't have Rube Goldberg workarounds like re4 does to make sure that you can never run the screen size bigger than it thinks you could run the screen size by the desktop standard.. except it just didn't have anything else like the unfunctional menu it had in the original unreal demo.. A menu I assume it's designed for ultra gas lighting? Because it would tell you that you changed the option it just wouldn't change any option LOL although sometimes it would delete the option from the registry.. so it doesn't do that now from what I can tell.. we've achieved stock unreal basic competency now... Which... Like you can't even rebind your inventory.. so it's it's not even that so much as it's.. I don't know maybe design for hybrid one half keyboards that don't have a number key row? Is it it's either so far ahead of its time or it's.. completely unacceptably something that they've known that they needed to do and have not been able to do successfully every single release that they've put out since the unity release.. which from what I understand didn't suffer from some of these problems at least.. but every unreal version certainly has... LOLespite the despite the track record of not doing this at all and not seeming to care.. despite how absurd that is especially for this particular studio given their day job has been to go through and add these things into older games like literally that's that's been like their primary focus and that's that's like the big thing they did to bring out the remaster of the original.. rebindable controls go figure! Like never mind that all the cool stuff you could do in the original is is largely missing for the most part, replace with some really bare Bones but at least acceptably bare Bones LOL.. would still puts it ahead of most games.. Except I'm still sad that I can't roller blade down a hallway, while diving into prone then leaning out throwing a grenade and moving the filing cabinet.. although maybe I can move the filing cabinet? But if they didn't even fix the menu.. and for what I understand it doesn't even have surround sound support.. I could be wrong on that but I have a suspicious feeling it's stereo in 2023 on unreal 4.. I'll test that further but.. seems as if the mixing hadn't been mixed again.. which makes it a mixed bag of sound, which seemed to follow a really good design.. except by mix they thought that meant throw in blender.. I'm really curious to see what the the hyper fixation has been on.. to a point where they've had a demo that was basically unplayable if you had a custom resolution, and you couldn't even adjust resolution LOL initially.. you couldn't remind your controls you basically couldn't use any of the menu functions.. and that's been the case since the original unreal demo when they switched.. and they've had so many different releases of it where they've not fixed any of this.. including the final demo! Where they hadn't fixed any of it at all.. fortunately they released the final final demo where they fixed some of it and then just got rid of most of it.. and that's what we're seeing today... It's like this is this is night dive.. this is this is a studio that their job is literally to make titles that did not have proper interface and functionality on modern systems have all that.. it's like you need a night dive studio remaster of the night dive studio game.. I'm hoping they actually do the mod support thing because that could fix a lot of this.. you don't usually see it with unreal titles.. but it can be done and they did mention it at one point.. but night dive has been a textbook example of gaslighting.. and that switch to a discord server that's private so essentially anybody with issues is screaming into a void to know you know response especially on the steam forms for years.. like it looked like the scamiest of scams like they didn't even update the website until just recently.. and this was after a promise that they were doing this open development thing you know which is yeah okay that's a nightmare I get that.. but you know what.. do y'all not have thumb buttons up in Vancouver or something like that? Is it like a company philosophy where the thumb is like ableist or something? Clearly you have number keys because you have an entire function row bound to them, that can't be bound to anything else.. which is why I have an f night dive ahk that I have to run every time I've had run the demo.. requiring me to come up with a custom bind that keys to the number.. and then I have to to invent a thumb then it correlates to if I wanted to do that which I usually do.. Seriously even like Japanese exports that furiously disdain using scary keys like the cap locks, or other very normal keys used in gaming LOL or on keyboards.. even they have extremely basic.. but still there at all.. thumb button support now... congratulations you have achieved consoleport status on a game that doesn't even have a console Port yet.
I'm glad that this is one of the very few remakes that still have the original easily available. Granted, the original isnt packed in like some, but at least you can still buy it. Shame that the original isnt on consoles, but that's fine in this case. The original is designed for pc, and it's too archaic for it to translate at all to a controller
Playing SS1 on console sounds like pain central for me. A big part of SS1 is switching between mouse look and free cursor, sounds like hell on the controllers.
Hmm... I'll have to check those cons of yours when the full thing is out tomorrow... I forgot this was even coming out tomorrow. I played the demo quite a bit, even streaming it live on the channel to show how it runs on various hardware... runs great while looking better than a lot of other new games, of which typically themselves run pretty iffy. Or so to say, lots of lesser looking games come out these days playing far worse. I don't recall any complaints with combat or audio of my own, and looking at the videos, I still don't... so, I guess I'll see how the fully cooked version seems come tomorrow, when I'm back to work again... so, ehhh... maybe I'll download and install tomorrow. But probably won't get a chance to play it until the next weekend at best. Why oh why they couldn't just release it on a FRIDAY, giving the weekend for players to actually enjoy it, I have no idea. Instead actually waiting until most folk's long holiday weekend is over, and releasing on the first working Tuesday after. Nice... tactical... lol. But, I'm excited for sure, can't wait to play the whole game in this new, beautiful, user friendly, FAR UPDATED coat of paint and mechanics. I've been awaiting this title for a long freaking time at this point. Something that stood out to me in regard to your critique's though... you take issue with environmental items you can interact / need to interact with not being super obvious. Well... I dunno man... I'm of two minds on this one myself... I absolutely HATE when games outline interactable items, or make them glow. That just looks so freaking stupid, takes you entirely out of the world, and reminds you the whole time that this is just a game you're playing. Not a world you're in... I always turn those things off when the game lets me... I suppose though, if you have no idea what you're looking for, it could be an issue. But, that's likely only due to our being coddled for so long. Back in the 16bit days and immediately onward, games were cryptic af, yet we still figured things out all the time, every time. Even without internet and communication with other players no less... So, I'm pretty sure if you keep your mission goals in mind, you'd be able to find the items required to interact with, even if they aren't glowing as if they sustained a Chernobyl splosion point blank. But, maybe they should have a game option where you could turn that on... toddler mode perhaps.
The problem with pickup clarity is that it’s system shock. A lot of key items are like, door buttons, small key cards, things on specific corpses or on specific shelves. In the original it’s totally manageable to find them since they’re sprites. When they’re flat on the ground and actually their size, it’s not hard to see why people miss them entirely. They added the head lamp to medical instead of maintenance and I totally missed it because it’s just a small light on a shelf. Door buttons are now mostly levers or look exactly like the wall itself instead of being distinctly big orange buttons.
I mean the feedback of the guns aren't great but you can see the reticle indication when using a gun just like modern shooters that i dislike, but it's there
@@rafeed2719 yup it's pretty clear to me, that's why I don't understand when he said that he doesn't know when a Hit was a Hit, seems pretty visible to me, more than the original that had nothing to show when hit.
@@christianwilliam1167 honestly when i was watching the footage i was gonna say "put a hitmarker on it, that will fix it". Oh wait it already has a hitmarker , its just barely visible. Nah the problem is the ai doesnt react to getting hit or make any pain sounds.
@@arkgaharandan5881 I mean It could be better, but I was watching those clips and thinking "But i can clearly see a hitmarker even with TH-cam compression ._." but not everyone eyes is the same, maybe should have more options to adjust. but I found it strange that this was his argument when in the original seems even worse
Tencent getting theyre greasy mitts on system shock was not the unceremonious ending i expected for the franchise, then again it did survive one before. 🤔
This feels like this game is going to cost less than 15 Euros in the next 9 months from now. Considering the fact that they still haven't even resolved the combat issue yet, especially the melee. I just wait 9 to 10 months from now when it cost 16 Euros or less, before I pick it up.
Lmfao at "Joseph Anderson releases his 12 hour plot summary of tw3" Always wonder what guys like you that do actual writing on games think of that stuff.

I think the remake went for a scarier, sinister vibe. Thus relying more on silence and ambient sounds, I also find the soundtrack and audio logs to be a great improvement despite the soundtrack being a little low; the original audio has not aged well at all. Overall pretty happy with how it turned out, could have been worse, could have been better, but a solid installment nonetheless.
I hope they remake 2 with the same ethos. This is one of the best remakes ever.
Uses LAZER katna: "It lacks weight."
4:30 The pacing might seem off, but if you look at the laptop the hacker is working from, you can see a program already running trying to brute-force a password into the Trioptimum network. With the hover drone intro sequence, it's likely that when it pans into the hacker's apartment that they already backtracked the source of the infiltration and had already sent cyborg assassins.
Bro going by your polls you can actually interpret is as all the people that have played 1 prefer it lol.
Should include a third option for preference surveys to indicate an answer of lack of familiarity with all the options. People when surveyed will usually just answer with what their familiar with if they haven’t tried all the options, rather than abstaining from answering entirely.
Game dev here, and I can assure you that the "respawning" screens and text crawl is DEFINITELY for loading. Classic Unreal trick to cover how it streams in sublevels.
07:21 - that comment is pretty amusing to me. I've read an old "plan" file from John Carmack, where, up to the Quake 3 engine, the longest running visual complaint he got from players, were the "looney tunes effect". Where interact-able objects and map entities within the world could be easily discerned due to the difference in lighting. That happens because pre-baking shadow and lighting passes between the world itself and brush entities(part of maps that are turned into active objects, like a door, a lever, a moving platform, or a breakable window), are done differently as a means of simplifying/optimizing lighting calculations(remember the hardware of the era).
The common visual telltales are; Brush entities have more simplified shading. Brush entities does not have, nor casts a shadow at all. General entities(like player and enemy characters, weapon and item pickups, world models) are lighted differently, most common real-time lighting system at the time was the technique called "goraud shading". In short; incredibly crude, very simple, but hey, it's the best way to light objects in game that doesn't melt your 8mb graphics card.
It's why he's incredibly proud of being able to finally implement, unified, per-pixel lighting on the Doom 3 engine. The idea that the world itself, and the various interact-able things within that world, are now both lighted correctly, and in real-time.
I prefer this over the original as at least I dont feel like I am setting up a OS BIOS playing the remake.
Fair, but that was the point of the original tho. It was a system shock... Ha ha...
whats the point of releasing a demo, then not fixing some of the basic things like impact/sound of meele?

When you chose to partner with an unknown publisher like Prime Matter, this is what you get. Terrible marketing, bad planning and consequently a threat to the future of your studio.
I feel the combat fits the tone alright. Peaking around a corner taking shots across the room feels desperate. I've wasted rounds shooting after they're dead but my plasma pistol shoots people in half. It feels scary and I shouldn't be hitting too hard anyways. I'm just an insect after all.
I'm actually alright with the length to the ressurection in the remake. It gives the player time to 'cool off' and think about how (and why) they snuffed it, rather than simply barrel out of the respawn and back into the fight. I appreciate it can be frustrating though, I had a few moments where I was a bit too slow with purging radiation or a biohazard damage tick and was just waiting to respawn. The audiolog animation started to get annoying towards the end as well. The audio logs fell off a cliff late game though, so... eh.
Combat felt okay on my end... Besides melee, obviously. Serviceable, but not great. I felt like I could see the enemies recoil, robots sparked like CRAZY. The spark blaster is also awesome, especially at full power. I don't really get the music criticisms either.
I liked the intro a lot
Especially the middle finger the hacker gives lol

I also loved it in black mesa hl1 remake.
It's the best way to make remakes feel retro while having better lighting. (the oblivion glance is a shame though).
i feel like they should have just ripped the music from the original (and maybe spruce them up a bit? or not) and have it as an optional addition in the sound menu

When changing a setting in-game, you need to press T to apply them or they don't take or save. It's an 'interesting' design choice. Also found that if you make the ambience sound slightly louder than the sound effects, it helps with the enemy cues. There isn't much that can be done about the other issues the game suffers from though - still a leg up from the original and really scratches that nostalgia itch for someone that played the original ^^
"... Spoony releases a new video ..." Man, Boulder Punch, what did I ever do to you to warrant you wounding me so grievously?

DLSS was in the demo, but just on/off
I like the pickup, healing pod, and cloning vat anims for muh IMMERSION. They're well done too.
I think the hacker WAS already in the process of hacking before you even take control. Before you use the computer screen it mentions brute forcing passwords.
"Spoony releases a new video"
Oof. That hurt me right in the nostalgia.
Can we talk about that "Spoony releases a new video" joke, because that was S-Tier humor. 😂
Man Joseph Anderson is never going to release his review of the witcher 3 right?
Lol that healing bed animation used to be SO BROKEN. That's well beyond fixed now, much nicer to look at. Still a chore though.
Okay so im not the only one who liked System Shock 1 over 2 lol. SS1 is still really great today. The gunplay is just great. Yes the level designs and explanation of missions are vague, but it was made at a time where text on screen was extremely hard to program. It hold up pretty well.
Its why im so hyped for this game.
I personally played through the original SS and feel it aged very poorly. Its far from a bad game, but the menu and clunk surronding basic actions makes it hard for most to pick up. The game was dated not even 3 to 5 years after its creation. And that was over 20 years ago.
@@godfrey4461even the original designer admitted that the UI was a mistake. The EE fixes it somewhat but it’s still janky.
Love 1 way more but I can definitely play 2 for a longtime, don’t care abt Jank just here for the experience
I was never able to get into SS1 because of the interface, but after playing the remake I'm amazed at how well every other element of the game holds up.
The level design reminds me of the best parts of the original Resident Evil (yes I'm aware system shock came out first) with it's fully explorable world, backtracking to previous areas, and lack of directions, but with the mechanics and systems of an immersive sim like Deus Ex.
System Shock created the immersive sim genre, and it still might be the very best of them all. All it needed was a fresh coat of paint.
@EldritchAugur yeah the remake is pretty much shot for shot remake of the original with some minor improvements to level design. I do think the gunplay is still more fun in the original in my opinion. System Shock 1 and 2 aren't that different gameplay wise. For me just lowering the music in System shock 1 made the game way more playable for some reason.
I'm a fan of the saga since I was a kid, a month ago I finished the remake. 40 hours of gameplay. Highly recommended.
Man your voice is so calming.
Absolutely love this damn game, never played either of the originals.. now I’m just patiently waiting for that SS2EE to come to consoles
You always talk about how cool it is to explore you character's own apartment or living space in video games and you don't agree with the inclusion of it here?
It’s finally here! I can’t believe it! It’s like we’re living in the best timeline
DSP will never quit WWE Champions 🎉😂
Sad to see the floaty melee combat. No real reason for less impactful visual and sound design after 30 years. Still gonna eat it up but damn, if they knocked it out the park we would have a definitive masterpiece
0:50
I feel like we should let spoony retire in peace...unless he wants to do more with Linkara, which would be a hell of a way to dip his toes back into the community and video making.
As someone who did not play the original, I really enjoyed the more ambient music. I remember playing the demo and really enjoying the dark and creepy atmosphere, then comparing it to gameplay of the original and being completely jarred. I guess it's just preference, but I think I prefer the darker approach of the remake. It makes exploring the station a lot more unsettling.
I was just thinking as you said it that the vast majority of people that prefer SS2 will not have touched SS1, which imho is a masterpiece.
I don't know I felt combat was fine. Limbs falling off, robots short-circuiting. Yes laser rapier was having lack of feedback which was noticeable
This has been this most nitpicky review I have seen
If you don't care about graphics, like me, the original is fine!
as someone who played the first one in a demo and then the second one on a demo for a few seconds before my pc freezes and then i played it again many years later on a new pc with backwards combability and then played the original both on dos box and the unnoficial enhanced edition with hacked mouse look and then played the official release. Let me tell you, the game's problem isnt the graphics. Its the awfully unbalanced combat that you die in a few hits but the game spawns 40 enemies that take forever to put down, it really needs upgrades like system shock 2, and the maze like level design, not because i got lost, this is what the awful map was for, but because of how samey and unmemorable the environment were, every corridor looked the same. So this is an improvement.
@@arkgaharandan5881 if the released version is the same as the demo, then in the remake you also die very fast and enemies may respawn right after you leave they room, they didn't fix any of that. Tbh to me it felt like it's even easier to die in the remake than it was in the original and the combat somehow feels even more clunky
I must disagree. Not only the graphics were painful to deal with. The music was really jarring although I think that's due to MIDI implementation. And the gameplay was frustrating in a lot of ways. The control system was just plain garbage.
Looks pretty good to me. Although I hope the "find the security cameras" thing isn't as ridiculous as the original.
They have a bright red glow coming off the lense, and make a beeping sound when you walk by their field of view
Your review is perfect, thank you.
Looks like we had a lot of the same vibes about the remake :D
EDIT: I didn't find the inventory upgrade, womp-wah.
It was on the storage level. Not sure if there were any more.
@@BoulderPunch the cool part about either version is that it’s basically built for replaying. If I went further in my second play through, I would definitely be grinding up every last thing in those first few levels
17:00 That's cuz some members of the band Tribes worked on the game IIRC
and that particular song is up there with Bobby Prince ripping off metal riffs on Doom lol, you listen to NIN's "Head Like a Hole" and Reactor and go "Wait... hmmmmmmm..."
There was a different official song remixing the intro called “ethical constraints removed” and it went so fucking hard, I was hoping to hear it in game

there’s too much red in the shadowed parts of the game, everywhere.

So they got shodan back in the studio to rerecord lines.. did they change them at all or are they the exact same lines? Cuz in the demo they were the exact same.. and just kind of seems like a waste if they were going to get her back to record everything.. like why not expand it in some way or another?
Because people would cry about it. Even in this comment section, people are malding over minor changes. You can't win with a remake.
It’s probably the last time we’ll ever hear her. It’s nice having a definitive shodan voice.
yea i feel bad about paying $150 for the kickstarter when i should have just done $40. real shame she sound team and the collision effects could not live up to the kickstarter hype
Man those soundtracks for the originals. Absolute gold. Your review reminds me of the ports of DOOM where you had some ports without music or they changed it completely, and it just feels deeply wrong. At the very least, if they had to change the soundtrack, include the original as an option.
I'm a bit out of the loop. Who is DSP and why are they mentioned in pretty much every video?
I hated the music in SS1, I always turned it off. The music was loud and insanely annoying. 😅
I'm so glad the Shotgun in this game has ammo that's actually useful in a fight because Shotguns are among my favorite gun types in games and them being basically useless in combat in the original system Shock was annoying. For anyone who hasn't played it the only Shotgun ammo in the original were rubber slugs. Great if you want to disable someone without severely injuring them but not so helpful IMO when fighting killer cyborgs controlled by a genocidal AI.
Glad the game came out decent. Sadly I was a backer for Mighty No. 9, and the end product was mediocre at best.
I really dislike all kinds of pre-canned 'looking down at my hands' animations in first-person games. It should be an option to turn on or off in the settings.
Me too. They all have this wierd bounciness to the movement that irritates me for some reason. Like they're trying too hard to make the player character looking at their hands look satisfying.
the fact far cry 4 let you disable the skinning animals and looting animations was a god send. Modders make pick up animations for new vegas and i never use them, imagine popping up 24/7 every time you press the use button, having random animations preventing you from playing the game 24/7 is annoying.

Was anybody else incredibly disappointed when they opened up the game today and find that the menu system, customization key binds etc.. graphical menu all the things basically we're essentially a stock standard version of what was a completely unfunctional menu that had really cool sounding options.. key bindings that has achieved the minimum standard of being able to bind them now... but not to some buttons... like mouse four and five your thumb buttons... You know fancy graphic design and productivity kind of attack like that obviously, clearly not worth bothering with.. like thumb buttons...
I will say that it seems that... the the way it would fight you seems to be less fighty... Like for instance when I asked it politely to use full screen it seemed like it wanted to do that and it was okay with that.. and it seemed to be okay with any of my custom super resolutions.. not at first of course.. but at the very least it didn't have Rube Goldberg workarounds like re4 does to make sure that you can never run the screen size bigger than it thinks you could run the screen size by the desktop standard.. except it just didn't have anything else like the unfunctional menu it had in the original unreal demo..
A menu I assume it's designed for ultra gas lighting? Because it would tell you that you changed the option it just wouldn't change any option LOL although sometimes it would delete the option from the registry.. so it doesn't do that now from what I can tell.. we've achieved stock unreal basic competency now... Which... Like you can't even rebind your inventory..
so it's it's not even that so much as it's.. I don't know maybe design for hybrid one half keyboards that don't have a number key row? Is it it's either so far ahead of its time or it's.. completely unacceptably something that they've known that they needed to do and have not been able to do successfully every single release that they've put out since the unity release.. which from what I understand didn't suffer from some of these problems at least.. but every unreal version certainly has...
LOLespite the despite the track record of not doing this at all and not seeming to care.. despite how absurd that is especially for this particular studio given their day job has been to go through and add these things into older games like literally that's that's been like their primary focus and that's that's like the big thing they did to bring out the remaster of the original.. rebindable controls go figure! Like never mind that all the cool stuff you could do in the original is is largely missing for the most part, replace with some really bare Bones but at least acceptably bare Bones LOL.. would still puts it ahead of most games..
Except I'm still sad that I can't roller blade down a hallway, while diving into prone then leaning out throwing a grenade and moving the filing cabinet.. although maybe I can move the filing cabinet? But if they didn't even fix the menu.. and for what I understand it doesn't even have surround sound support.. I could be wrong on that but I have a suspicious feeling it's stereo in 2023 on unreal 4.. I'll test that further but.. seems as if the mixing hadn't been mixed again.. which makes it a mixed bag of sound, which seemed to follow a really good design.. except by mix they thought that meant throw in blender..
I'm really curious to see what the the hyper fixation has been on.. to a point where they've had a demo that was basically unplayable if you had a custom resolution, and you couldn't even adjust resolution LOL initially.. you couldn't remind your controls you basically couldn't use any of the menu functions.. and that's been the case since the original unreal demo when they switched.. and they've had so many different releases of it where they've not fixed any of this.. including the final demo! Where they hadn't fixed any of it at all.. fortunately they released the final final demo where they fixed some of it and then just got rid of most of it.. and that's what we're seeing today...
It's like this is this is night dive.. this is this is a studio that their job is literally to make titles that did not have proper interface and functionality on modern systems have all that.. it's like you need a night dive studio remaster of the night dive studio game..
I'm hoping they actually do the mod support thing because that could fix a lot of this.. you don't usually see it with unreal titles.. but it can be done and they did mention it at one point.. but night dive has been a textbook example of gaslighting.. and that switch to a discord server that's private so essentially anybody with issues is screaming into a void to know you know response especially on the steam forms for years.. like it looked like the scamiest of scams like they didn't even update the website until just recently..
and this was after a promise that they were doing this open development thing you know which is yeah okay that's a nightmare I get that.. but you know what.. do y'all not have thumb buttons up in Vancouver or something like that? Is it like a company philosophy where the thumb is like ableist or something?
Clearly you have number keys because you have an entire function row bound to them, that can't be bound to anything else.. which is why I have an f night dive ahk that I have to run every time I've had run the demo.. requiring me to come up with a custom bind that keys to the number.. and then I have to to invent a thumb then it correlates to if I wanted to do that which I usually do..
Seriously even like Japanese exports that furiously disdain using scary keys like the cap locks, or other very normal keys used in gaming LOL or on keyboards.. even they have extremely basic.. but still there at all.. thumb button support now... congratulations you have achieved consoleport status on a game that doesn't even have a console Port yet.
No, because not being able to use mouse buttons aren't that big of a deal. Everything else is rebindable or doesn't need to be
I'm glad that this is one of the very few remakes that still have the original easily available. Granted, the original isnt packed in like some, but at least you can still buy it.
Shame that the original isnt on consoles, but that's fine in this case. The original is designed for pc, and it's too archaic for it to translate at all to a controller
Playing SS1 on console sounds like pain central for me. A big part of SS1 is switching between mouse look and free cursor, sounds like hell on the controllers.

Hmm... I'll have to check those cons of yours when the full thing is out tomorrow... I forgot this was even coming out tomorrow. I played the demo quite a bit, even streaming it live on the channel to show how it runs on various hardware... runs great while looking better than a lot of other new games, of which typically themselves run pretty iffy. Or so to say, lots of lesser looking games come out these days playing far worse. I don't recall any complaints with combat or audio of my own, and looking at the videos, I still don't... so, I guess I'll see how the fully cooked version seems come tomorrow, when I'm back to work again... so, ehhh... maybe I'll download and install tomorrow. But probably won't get a chance to play it until the next weekend at best. Why oh why they couldn't just release it on a FRIDAY, giving the weekend for players to actually enjoy it, I have no idea. Instead actually waiting until most folk's long holiday weekend is over, and releasing on the first working Tuesday after. Nice... tactical... lol. But, I'm excited for sure, can't wait to play the whole game in this new, beautiful, user friendly, FAR UPDATED coat of paint and mechanics. I've been awaiting this title for a long freaking time at this point.
Something that stood out to me in regard to your critique's though... you take issue with environmental items you can interact / need to interact with not being super obvious. Well... I dunno man... I'm of two minds on this one myself... I absolutely HATE when games outline interactable items, or make them glow. That just looks so freaking stupid, takes you entirely out of the world, and reminds you the whole time that this is just a game you're playing. Not a world you're in... I always turn those things off when the game lets me... I suppose though, if you have no idea what you're looking for, it could be an issue. But, that's likely only due to our being coddled for so long. Back in the 16bit days and immediately onward, games were cryptic af, yet we still figured things out all the time, every time. Even without internet and communication with other players no less... So, I'm pretty sure if you keep your mission goals in mind, you'd be able to find the items required to interact with, even if they aren't glowing as if they sustained a Chernobyl splosion point blank. But, maybe they should have a game option where you could turn that on... toddler mode perhaps.
The problem with pickup clarity is that it’s system shock. A lot of key items are like, door buttons, small key cards, things on specific corpses or on specific shelves. In the original it’s totally manageable to find them since they’re sprites. When they’re flat on the ground and actually their size, it’s not hard to see why people miss them entirely. They added the head lamp to medical instead of maintenance and I totally missed it because it’s just a small light on a shelf. Door buttons are now mostly levers or look exactly like the wall itself instead of being distinctly big orange buttons.
