An inexperienced team working on the sequel to one of the most respected games in PC history. It sounds like a recipe for horror. And it was – but in a good way.
According to an announcement posted to the System Shock 2 (1999) Steam Store page, the classic immersive will no longer be available for purchase on PC starting October 10.
The best sci-fi games ever made range from diving into the depths of humanity to finding hope among the stars.
Don't really agree on Dead Space being number one. But usually come down to preference. Alot of good games on the list. I was hoping to see Aliens vs Predator by Sierra on the list, as it was a great game. Anyways for me the number one is still Halo but Mass Effect was really good up to the infamous ending of the third game.
I would put Flashback on my list. Its got such a great tone and background design. The cutscenes were pretty good too.
DEAD SPACE 2 as number 1? Really? I've only ever played DEAD SPACE 1 (without finishing it) and, sure enough I liked it a lot, and have been yearning for getting to grips with an hd remastered trilogy for the PS4/XBox One/PS5/XBox Series X/S, but what about Deus Ex Human Revolution & Mankind Divided? Alienation (to quench our thirst for twitching fingers' top-down dual-stick shooters)? Or even Cyberpunk 2077 (once the game has been re-released and all the kinks have been ironed out)?
If not at the #1 spot, it seems to me these games deserved to be on the list somewhere.
But what really strikes me as unfair is, if you're going back to the PS3/XBox 360 era with DS2, how could you forget to mention Killzone 2 & 3? The Resistance games? When it comes to Sci-Fi FPS, it's inadequate not to pay your respects to those stellar franchises! Heck, even the Crysis trilogy should've been there IMHO.
Looking for some frightening games to play over Halloween? Well, we rounded up five of our favorites here.
House if the Dead 3 + HotD Overkill + PS3 & PS Move =😎
Not "frightening" but fun.
RE7 VR. I'm getting impatient for the RE8 VR reveal!
I also wish they'd hurry up and officially announce/patch Alien Isolation for VR.
Honestly, nothing was better designed for sheer psychological horror than the PT demo.
I really hope I can transfer it to PS5.
Fatal Frame! If anyone ever gets the chance, there was a remake of II on the Wii. I suggest a modded Wii/U, or emulator. That, and Fatal Frame 4, are two of the scariest games ever made, hands down. Like "F this, why am I even playing this" scary.
System Shock 2 is one of many reasons that makes me insanely mad at 2K for changing Irrationals name.
But back to topic, System Shock 2 was indeed one of the best and most scary games of all time and one of the few games that were actually better than the first game. (The other one being Mortal Kombat 2 IMO)
Agreed JC Denton - Deus Ex1 best game ever, SS2 a close second.
One of the strangest things, I really wanted to convince myself that BioShock was a true spiritial successor to SSE2. But BioShock never had the same dense atmosphere that SSE2 had and, IMO anyway, plateaued far to soon (within the first 3th of the game) in terms of having presented almost all it's originality and innovative content. SSE2 and Deus just never did this, they kept pushing "WTF!!!" moments as you right up till the end.
I LOVE my sysshock2 XD, one of the best and creepiest game Ive ever played :D
Too bad for Bioshock the devs made the formula more for n00bs :(
