On top of all the lovely frilly bits, you’re also going to get a host of never before seen enemies, a revamped hacking system, and visceral new combat options.

The System Shock remake combines the gameplay of the iconic original game, (from 1994 no less!) with brand-new HD visuals, updated controls, an overhauled interface, and all-new sound and music. This information still stands though so bear it in mind. If you’re not having an apoplexy because you have no idea what I’m talking about you’ll want to keep reading. That’s an early bird offer that you aren’t going to want to miss. The PC edition of this title is coming in at $39.99, (£34.99 for us UK folk,) and if you grab a copy early enough you’ll snag the upcoming System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition. This is a seriously good reason not to wait if you’ve got a few dollars burning a hole in your pockets right now. If you played the original and are currently having an apoplexy from excitement I suggest you get yourself to Steam, GOG, or the Epic Games Store as soon as you finish reading this. So we can take something really creepy with poor graphics, (by today’s standards,) and turn it into something modern and truly creepy.

The clever souls over there have decided to take System Shock and give it a bit of an overhaul. Nightdive Studios have done something that some of us have been waiting for, for a very long time. If you think the idea of being stuck on a ship with a completely insane computer that wants to do really horrible things to you sounds like a good time you need to read on! For the meat bags amongst you that haven’t played any of these games, you’re about to be in for a treat. Who remembers System Shock, then? If you do you’ll know just why an entire generation, myself included, has an abiding distrust of A.I.
