Nightdive Releases Enhanced Update to ‘System Shock: Enhanced Edition’

Published

Back in April, Nightdive Studios had announced that in addition to their regular update on their remake of System Shock, they had acquired the source code for the original System Shock: Enhanced Edition, and were planning on releasing it “in the near future”, along with a new version of the Enhanced Edition. Well, that future is now!

The “Source Port Update” of the Enhanced Edition is a free update to all current owners of the game on Steam, and includes some pretty awesome new goodies. Among them:

  • higher resolutions (including 4K support)
  • full mouselook support
  • rebindable keyboard commands
  • Direct3D and OpenGL support
  • the option to switch between the high-res Mac assets and the original DOS assets
  • mod support
  • smoother camera rotation
  • bug fixes

Really, while we aren’t going to get the remake until 2020, we can at least enjoy the original with some nice additions. Not a bad thing at all. Head to the game’s Steam page and get in on this NOW.

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.
