System Shock 3 announced

OtherSide Entertainment has announced System Shock 3, the long-awaited followup to the 1999-launched System Shock 2, for unannounced platforms.

A survey linked on the website can be used to sign up for updates. It’s worth noting that the survey asks users for their preferred gaming machine, including PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, suggesting System Shock 3 may be in development for consoles in addition to PC.

Never played them but I'm interested.

mezati993727d ago

are you familiar with the game Bioshock? Bioshock is the spiritual successor of System Shock

HaHa_Ostrich3727d ago

I always took Deus-ex as a spiritual successor to system shock.

Crazay3727d ago

I wouldn't consider Bioshock to be the spiritual successor in the least. Deus Ex mixed with a little Dead Space felt much more in line with System shock to me than Bioshock

fsdgf3727d ago

Both were, Warren Spector was heavily involved in System Shock and went on to direct Deus Ex, which borrowed heavily from Shock's game design, while Ken Levine and a bunch of ex-Looking Glass guys who worked on System Shock 2 went on to make Bioshock

Austin483727d ago

Yes I played bio shock infinite and liked it.

gyggyg3727d ago

While there's no doubt Bioshock was the spiritual successor of System shock, Deus ex still deserves mentioning. As it also had many inspirations from System shock. Plus, the inventory and augmentation aspects of the games went hand in hand.

You can pick up the first two from GOG at a dirt cheap price.

I got my copies while they were on sale.

Mankey3727d ago

Games are fire. But this is a very odd time to announce the third.

Yui_Suzumiya3727d ago

Me thinks this should have the same reaction that Half Life 3 will get once it's officially announced

sullynathan3727d ago

Seeing as how half life series has sold almost 20 times that system shock series has, then you shouldn't have expected the same reaction

Tencent 'assuming control' is a bit of a shock to the system.

Hugely lame. This would be like finally announcing the development of Half Life 3, then scrapping it. But worse, because people have been waiting for this way longer.

aryan9412208d ago

Crap! So sad to hear the news. Was super psyched for another game. Hope the workers will be ok

RaidenBlack2208d ago

Nightdive Studios is making good progress with the System Shock Remastered.

beanplant2208d ago

And it looks pretty good so far

m2stech2208d ago (Edited 2208d ago )

so confusing too many projects was that sequel or the remaster or the reboot ?

Shane Kim2208d ago (Edited 2208d ago )

There is a "remaster" (from the looks of it, it looks more like a remake) wich are doing the first game. Then we have these guys, who at least some of them, are former members of Looking Glass Studios.
