![]() Spring 2016: Kickstarter for System Shock remake begins with a paltry goal and the hopes that private investors will make up the rest September 2015: Night Dive Studios releases System Shock Enhanced Edition after acquiring its license Timeline looks like this:ΔΆ014: NDS begins working on vertical slice demo for Kickstarter and private investment in Unity After the clock ran out on their very meager Kickstarter funding, everyone had to be laid off or moved to another project and the CEO of the company took over. The project prior to the hiatus was being directed by Jason Fader, under the employment of NDS. Night Dive didn't take over, they were in control of the project since its inception in fall 2015 (correction: 2014). i dont believe anything the devs post anymore and i wouldnt buy it until it comes out and is actually good. then they picked it up again, i guess after night dive took over, now were here. in 2018 we learned they were working on their own game they were gonna call system shock, instead of remaking the original. Steelherd20: i believe the original release date was late 2017, the kickstarter promise was a remake of the original game. Now, will somebody please help me down from this soapbox? I put the bulk of the blame on the corruption of the media, but that is a subject for another time. ![]() ![]() Way too many people are creating multiple problems - for themselves, and also for the video game industry - by their own behavior. There is no profit to be had by doing otherwise, and conversely a whole lot of harm to the quality of video games - both in terms of game design and the business practices that accompany them. If you hear about a game that seems interesting, perhaps because a company wanted to generate hype and pre-order cash, then add it and its so-called "Release Date" (if given) to your "Games of Interest" list and promptly forget about it until it becomes a thing of reality. We will all do ourselves and the quality of video games a great service by not even thinking about a video game until it actually exists - or at the least not obsessing over it. Noishkel: At this point I'm pretty sure no one knows what they're doing over at Night Dive, so I'm just not going to support them unless they sort themselves out a bit better than this. ![]()
