Dreams Crushed
Ah ha, here's the information on the DC version:

They even have links to an ISO. The game isn't even remotely close to being complete, however, as it's basically just an engine test with 5 minute loading screens (no joke) and a lack of basic functionality. It's still neat to see that it was being worked on at one point.

Oh... that sucks.

So no need for the SS4 Tools thingy? Any mirrors for it that doesn't require signing up?
Yeah read that from TTLG forum.

They probably would have done what so many other games do nowadays. Ripped out any form of gameplay that couldn't fit inside an 8 button window.
Since this guy below me doesn't know how to properly label a spoiler except to put a spoiler tag over the whole post, I guess I will have to do it for him. The post below mine is a huge spoiler for people who haven't played the game before
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

the poleto form is dead insect
Yeah, I've heard speculation that the unofficial patch was created by one of the original developers. It was released anonymously to avoid the legal mess. Sooo I don't see how the new company can get in any trouble for using it.

Nope, the awesome plot twist is possibly more awesome if you're familiar with the first game but SS2 stands on it's own. To be honest IMO if you're more familiar with "modern" games SS2 is probably the better place to start anyway; it plays just like a modern game. SS1 can be... challenging to get used to.
No need if you just want to install and play vanilla. The GOG install works perfectly "out of the box". It appears to already be automatically packaged with the NewDark (v2.4) stuff so widescreen, videos etc all work without any modification.

Love the GOG wood shelf.
Wait a minute... XIII is in your list and went right to gog to buy it but I can't find it. Argh! How is that... where did you... WHY CAN I NOT HAVE WHAT YOU HAVE?!?
Edit: Was removed at end of 2012. Oh, why didn't I go look at gog last year. Idiot = me.

Dude how about some spoiler tags and warning or just not post something like that at all. SS2 was not exactly a huge hit and a lot of people will be playing this game for the first time.
For those asking about SS1 I agree that it is not necessary. I played SS2 first and enjoyed it a lot. But it is also true that some minor elements in the game make more sense or have a new meaning if you played SS1 first.
Also for those who want to use a gamepad, note that when in the inventory menu the game is not paused so you are subject to being attacked while trying to use a gamepad to manage the inventory. This also applies to hacking etc.
I dont like (or use) gamepads so I am not sure how much more difficult this will make it (if at all) but based on the comments so far I believe it would.

Some publisher fuckup. They put it down few weeks ago. Probably they will release it later. Though there were games like operation flashpoint and colin mcree rally which didn't came back.
I am baffled how DD license works.

I think it would be very difficult if not impossible. Certainly it would be very unwieldy for things like inventory management/hacking. The quick precision of the mouse is necessary IMO.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Is it ok to ask why?

Not cool. Again, System Shock 2 was not a huge hit, so not many people are familiar with it.
You misspelled your spoiler anyways.

Have there been any hints as to when the GOG exclusivity period ends? I want the game on GOG and Steam.
Alexios

GOG deserves support and you can add it to Steam anyways.

does anyone have SHMUP available anywhere? Thanks!

That one was a torrent link anyway so maybe google will have results.

I bought it on GOG the second it was available, stayed up and everything (East Coast). Love GOG! Want both! Want to support this and spread some money around. Problem is I have digital games spread across a billion different platforms and services and can never keep track of anything. If I have it via Steam as something I can actually download through them it makes playing it wherever I want much easier. I wish the dev's site never mentioned Steam, to be honest! Or that the RPS interview went into the exclusivity rather than just putting it in the headline. I know that GOG is as much to thank for this release as Night Dive, believe me.

they all seem to just link to the forum where the .torrent file exists :/ can someone host that anywhere? is the torrent file legal?
and that SHTUP file seems to be a broken zip
I just felt it.
Yes.
that sucks...
hopefully they will fix this. Doesn't gog use a downloader/updater now?
Working for me
now it works. I just restarted the game.
I've finished Antichamber so I'm going in as O.S.A. Wish me luck, lol. I won't use hacking at all.
Exactly what I'm doing. Tempted to do a wrench only run, but I'm also not sadistic.

A few lines down you see "d3d_disp_scaled_2d_overlay 640 480". Try playing around with those numbers at the end there instead (which is the HUD resolution). You might need to re-add the semicolon to the earlier rule.
Alexios

I tried that, said it in the post you quoted, that's what I meant with resolution, not display resolution.
It's not a mod, it's built into the game.
It was? I remember there being some kind of co-op thing but I thought it was a mod. maybe I mixed it up with "Synergy" for Half-Life 2. It was officially added later on right?
It was released without COOP but Irrational released an official patch which added the feature.
What an amazing feature it was!
