Re: System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster - Extended Multiplayer Trailer | Nightdive Studios - YouTube

I never got to play its multiplayer in the original game. Did anyone
play its original game's multiplayer? I won't be buying this game. No time.

Honestly, that video does nothing to sell me on the remaster. I mean,
I'll be buying regardless, but more out of love for the original. But
if I didn't already adore the 1999 game, this video would do nothing
to convince me to play the remaster. In fact, it would probably drive
me away. It looks incredibly janky and doesn't show off the awesome
atmosphere that was central to the game's appeal.

And multiplayer? In "System Shock 2"? A game all about tense and
well-paced scares, about exploring a haunted space-ship vulnerable in
your solitude as last survivor* of the crew?  Playing that game with a
posse absolutely destroys what made the game so unique and special in
the first place.

* well, almost the last survivor. Although I don't give Tommy Suarez
much hope of living very long <rot13>nsgre Fubqna ernjnxraf va uvf
