Latest ‘System Shock’ Remake Kickstarter Progress Shows Off Cyborgs And Toilets
Nightdive have updated the System Shock remake Kickstarter page with the month’s update, showing off some goodies in the character and environment designs.
Including a toilet.
In all seriousness, it’s pretty neat that the devs have put as much detail as they did into the functionality of the toilet/sink cylinder thing. What’s even neater is the level design shot demonstrating the eeriness of the maintenance level. With its fog and lighting, it feels almost like you’re on the Nostromo from Alien (to give you the idea of the atmosphere).
Another interesting set of concepts are the Protoborgs, which are “yet-unprocessed Citadel crew members awaiting full cyberconversion.” Featuring subdermal circuitry that “glows red in shadows/dark”, these humans can be found on the Medical level in a coma-like stasis, ripe for Shodan’s picking. Definitely creepy.
The System Shock remake is due out in 2020 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
