The System Shock remaster will be heading to Kickstarter

Some of you will remember back in March that a HD remake of the original System Shock was announced. However, now it turns out that the project needs to be crowd funded, so it will be landing on Kickstarter at the end of next month.

There is currently some pre-alpha gameplay footage floating around, showing off the game with its new Unity Engine visuals. However, outside of that we haven't seen much.

In a post on the System Shock website, the development team wrote: “After two decades, we are remastering and re-imagining the original System Shock. We will keep the new game true to the classic experience, keeping all the things you loved, while updating the user interface and graphics to use a modern day engine (Unity). With the help of the original concept artist, the original vision of the Citadel Station and its inhabitants will finally come back to life.”

We don't know how much money the project will need to raise to take off, nor do we know about any stretch goals but we should find out more when the campaign launches on the 29th of June.

KitGuru Says: It seems a little weird to announce a game first and then decide to take it to Kickstarter after the fact but that might just be me. Did any of you play the original System Shock back in the day? Would you like to see it remade in a modern engine?

KitGuru Games: Omni-movement culminates 30 years of FPS innovation

Black Ops 6 is officially here, bringing the innovative new Omni-movement system to the game. While on the surface a relatively simple change, I argue that Treyarch intimately studied DOOM and the past 30 years of first-person shooter evolution to craft one of the most satisfying gameplay systems yet.

    Seriously?
    I didn’t just play it back in the day. I STILL play it today. System Shock paved the way for cross-genre games like the the Deus Ex series, the Fallout series and the like. I’m fan of the original, the second, the enhanced version… the last time I was excited about a game like I’m excited about SS: Remastered, it was Half-Life 2

    I’ve been like, “TAKE MY MONEY!” since i heard night dive studios aquired the rights from the insurance company that bought out LGS. I even heard Warren Spector will be involved. I vowed long ago that any game he may ever be involved in the future is a game that I will buy, regardless of genre or reviews or cost. That guy is a straight up genius!
