Nightdive Reveals Adventure Alpha Footage of ‘System Shock’ Remake
It’s been a long while since we last heard about that Adventure Alpha test for Nightdive Studios’ remake of System Shock. That’s changed with the studio having shared footage of the game’s alpha test, which includes new textures and environments. The alpha test is currently invite-only, as well as available to those who pledged $750 during the game’s Kickstarter.
As explained way back when the Adventure Alpha was announced, this is essentially a slice of the game’s first level, and will be “reminiscent” of the original with its difficulty set to zero. Players are able to explore Citadel Station, listen to audio logs, and complete objectives without being pursued by hostile enemies. The textures found within the alpha test are the original versions that have been upscaled, and are meant to provide the team with a “blueprint” on how to approach updating them.
Nightdive states that the purpose of this alpha is to “rebuild all the levels 1:1 and be able to complete all the objectives necessary to finish the game”. And despite the video only showing around a minute of footage, things do look pretty cool, even if some of the textures do look a bit out of place. It’s a shame that we won’t be seeing the completed game until 2020. But as Nightdive says, “There will be many more updates, please stay tuned.”
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
