This isn’t painting the ideal picture of what many were imagining the remastered System Shock would become, or at least could.

So don’t look at the trailer as the ideal version of System Shock Redux, although that’s a horrible statement to need to make when trailers are what makes or breaks hype for titles. The demo looks leagues better than this trailer that is offered and plays moderately well to boot. Then the trailer dropped for System Shock Redux, or System Shock Remastered (it’s been called both interchangeably by the studio), and we’re all kind of wondering precisely what is going on.īefore everyone gets too bent out of shape about the state that the trailer is in, it’s worth noting that there is a demo available to try on Steam, which is completely free to explore. Yet as it’s quieted down in recent months, the broad assumption has been that everything has been back to business in Nightdive Studios, and we’re all on the up and up. The System Shock franchise might simply be cursed at this point the number of issues that have cropped up in recent months as studios fire their developers, outsource work, bring in new developers, scrap everything for the umpteenth time it’s been a rocky road for the franchise that is arguably one of the godfathers of cyberpunk action.
