When there's a "spiritual successor" to System Shock 2 and the article you see about it is several weeks old, chances are that a congregation of people who loved SS2 have ALREADY HEARD ABOUT IT.

If it was something that at least seemed sorta obscure like that 96kb FPS, it would be completely forgivable. But this is sorta like coming here and saying OMG HALF LIFE 2 DIDNT GET RELEASED ON SEPTEMBER 30th 2003.

DrafT · 10-29-2004, 08:23 PM

There is loony above me that didn't replied like everybody previously check it out...

Back to the topic, according to PCG UK this game is not gonna come out till 2006

Fat John · 10-29-2004, 10:26 PM

That's over a year.

Reaper · 10-29-2004, 10:33 PM

I don't mind. I can wait. As long as it delivers, (unlike STALKER) I will be happy.

Mongorian · 10-29-2004, 10:42 PM

Maybe stalker hasn't "delivered" because it isn't out.

On/Off · 10-30-2004, 01:01 AM

Stalker will own you.

so will BioShock.

Paroxysm · 10-30-2004, 01:09 AM

I doubt it on both accounts

Ohh man, are you in for a surprise!

Paroxysm · 10-30-2004, 05:00 AM

Not really. Stalker has been constantly scaled back due to a flawed "YOU CAN DO ANYTHING" style thinking in it's initial design. Gameplay needs to be able to survive in an abstract form, only the theme of Stalker is cool. (BTW Stalker the movie, which is based on the same source material, is one of my favourite films.)

As of BioShock, well SS2 was ok, didn't do alot for me. I perferred SS1 really. I found it pretty borring and empty. Bioshock could be cool but horror theme does very little for me.

You know, I can understand the comments about STALKER because I myself have doubts in a freshman developer reaching for the stars with their goals of creating such an elaborate AI. But the comment about liking SS1 and not SS2 is just too snobby of a comment to take seriously, and frankly it just reminds me of that article on Something Awful's "Your Band Sucks" when the author was talking about how to fake having knowlege in music.

SS2 I believe was the first game that Irrational Games put out and for a freshman effort, well thats one hell of an effort. Now that they've got some quality games under them (an impressively varied collection too) it is just really difficult for me to even have the thought cross my mind that BioShock is not gonna be good, but then again you never know.

PS if horror does litle for you, why are you posting in a thread about a horror game?

Because I hope it's good? Horror is good but rarely pulled off well. Especially in games too many designers think that horror needs to be scary all the time. Which just tends to make it borring. You need variation in mood.

Just cause I perfered SS1 doesn't mean it's better. Remember it was a big gap between games and I changed as a person. Just didn't personally do much for me.

I just have a problem with people proclaiming that games are going to be the second comming of oral sex before we've even really seen anything, let alone when they can't tell the difference between mechanics and concept.

Reaper · 10-30-2004, 08:27 PM

I agree with Paroxysm with the horror point. SS2 was a bit creepy, but it wasn't very scary.

I said at least SEEMED sorta obscure.

Anybody who thinks we haven't heard about a successor to SS2 would think that they were the first person to find that and that everybody would worship them for posting it.

10-31-2004, 03:09 AM

On Topic:

The reason I am excited is because system shock 2 had to much depth for a lot of people you have 3 party's vying for power(the many, the humans and SHODAN), sub plots and commercialism, genocide and technology. BioShock is a successor which to me includes just as much if not more realism and suspense.

Hudson · 10-31-2004, 03:37 AM

Aside from Blood, System Shock 2 is my favorite PC game ever

I can't wait for this

MeatWagon · 11-01-2004, 04:56 AM

That would be Kreed

Duoae · 11-01-2004, 06:44 AM

Exact copy of unreal 2? Which unreal 2 were you playing?

I wasn't.

Holy crap! It can talk!

DudeMiester · 11-02-2004, 01:55 AM

So does that mean BioShock have an ass gun?

11-03-2004, 12:35 AM

That's what profiles are for.

Klaus Kinski · 11-03-2004, 07:40 AM

5 but I don't see what it has to do with Bioshock.

On/Off · 11-05-2004, 02:03 AM

Just a heads up, this is an in game screen shot.

DudeMiester · 11-05-2004, 02:29 AM

Please tell me those objects in there are not static! That would be t3h awesome.

Paroxysm · 11-05-2004, 03:50 AM

Where is it said that that's ingame? I thought I'd read it was just a mockup representation. Of course I don't doubt the game could look like that, it's very achievable (still very pretty) and if it is ingame I like the comic feel to the rendering.
