I did not know this was a thing, SS2 is one my fave FPS titles, so hopefully this will be a worthy release.
amazing game. bioshock was supposed to surpass it but none of them did imo. prey came close much much later. funny though, how the wrench is pretty much the best weapon in all of them
Unpopular opinion, but I actually didn’t like Bioshock. Loading it up first time it was initially cool and all, but after a while of playing, I realised it lacked or fell short in a lot of areas. Lots of things were “almost there” so overall it was quite annoying to experience. I only completed it because I’d gotten far enough in, may as well.
Bioshock was a cut down version of the “shock” gameplay - no inventory management, much more linear path, etc.
I remember at the time people complained that it was “dumbed down for console”.
I still enjoyed it though, but I can see why veterans of the genre would feel things are missing or fall short while newcomers would be blown away.
Yeah, that probably it. I got that “This is it?” feeling, while it seemed many others were hailing it as a masterpiece.
lol i share the unpopular opinion, as well as the downright hated opinion of despising infinite. everyone fell in love with elizabeth while i was thinking “this is the most annoying npc in history.” aside from that the game was meh af
It’s the arcade-ified evolution of System Shock, IMO.
It has a lot of the same mechanics and ideas; but it’s all an inch deep instead of having any real depth.
As an RPG hybrid, it kinda sucks. As a straight up FPS, with action as the primary feature, compared to the contemporaries at the time is pretty good. Similar to how Fallout 4 sucks ass as an actual RPG, but is a pretty great FPS.
I’ve probably played through it 5 times, using different skill trees.
I just want it to still have co-op so I can play with a friend who uses a different skill tree and we can complement our skills.
With the lights off and playing alone that game was unnerving. I don’t think I ever finished it.
It’s pretty funny how much the tone shifts if you play with the co-op mode they added in a later patch. Suddenly, sci-fi horror turns into Benny Hill in space.
I’m guessing that’s one feature they won’t include in the remaster, haha
Not including the multiplayer mode would be an immense L. I get the game for free since I backed the Remake of the original on Kickstarter, I wouldn’t even install the game if the multiplayer isn’t included.
Actually, multiplayer is planned for release!
Wow finally some gpod fuckin’ news
Switch is conspicuously absent from the release platforms.
If I had to guess I would say they are skipping Switch 1 and it will be on Switch 2 when that drops.
The first games remaster leans on the heavy side of processing. I wouldn’t be surprised if this one needs even more resources.
Mods in the original ii’s a must-have and enhanced the experience greatly, also in sales you can find the game at 1 euro. I don’t think this remaster is going to sell well
I’m still waiting for the next spritual sequel, Tiddyshock
