System Shock 2 is a sacred title to those that understand its importance in video gaming history. OtherSide Entertainment now faces a huge challenge garnering new popularity for the series whilst living up to System Shock fans great expectation of a very long awaited sequel.
OtherSide Entertainment has bounced back from the cancellation of System Shock 3 and Warren Spector is working on a new game.
Confirming reports circulating earlier this week, developer OtherSide Entertainment has announced that Chinese corporation Tencent has assumed control of System 3 and will be "taking the System Shock franchise forward" from this point on.
A recent report has suggested that the development team behind System Shock 3 might no longer be working on the game. We've got all the details you need on what this could mean for the future of the franchise.
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.
Crap! So sad to hear the news. Was super psyched for another game. Hope the workers will be ok
so confusing too many projects was that sequel or the remaster or the reboot ?
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.
Loved System Shock 2 but I do agree. It's going to be really interesting to see whether the new instalment can successfully update the franchise, whilst retaining the core the unsettling characteristics and attracting a new audience.
Still, cannot wait.
I remember watching my brother play this one when we were younger. Always scared the shit out of me.. I enjoyed Bioshock so Id definitely give this one a go.
I can barely manage horror games now.. let alone in VR! Never played System Shock but Bioshock was sweet!
They better not make a hash of it.. Its one of my all time favourites. System Shock 3 is hard as shit though..
