‘System Shock’ Has Never Looked So Handsome
In November, Night Dive Studios let us in on their plans to make us love the System Shock series again, and ever since, I’ve been working on clearing the cobwebs in my cavernous heart chasm so when the time comes, SHODAN can go spelunking.
I can’t say that I’ve been too worried about whether or not Night Dive will do the series justice, seeing as the studio has built a portfolio out of honoring classic game franchises like Turok, The 7th Guest and I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, among others. Unlike those games, however, System Shock is actually being reimagined, in addition to a full-fledged sequel that’s currently being developed by Otherside Entertainment.
With the System Shock remake — not to be confused with the the remaster we got in September — Night Dive Studios promises they’ll “keep the new game true to the classic experience, keeping all the things you loved, while updating the user interface and graphics.”
Head on over to Polygon for an in-depth look at what makes this reimagining so special, and why it’s going to make the world a better place to live when it arrives next year.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
