Commence the F5'ing.

 

[Stumpokapow]

There's gonna be some serious torches and pitchforks action if this isn't true, I tell you what.

I hedged in the title, but;

- Person with professional record in industry (verified by Mobygames records for the games + Linkedin) attaches own name to company founded to port games
- That company's site clearly teases SS2
- That company's Facebook clearly teases SS2
- That company's Facebook links to an article saying SS2 is coming to GOG and Steam

Hard to believe anyone would tank their professional career on a hoax.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

Should we "New Thread - New News" it? Or too soon to call, you think?

 

[Stumpokapow]

Wait for confirmation, but on confirmation / release absolutely!

 

[Persona7]

I didn't make a thread because it is not confirmed.

 

[twinturbo2]

I always wanted to play System Shock 1 and 2, glad the mess over the IP rights is apparently going to get resolved soon...

 

[Calavera520]

yesss, so pumped to carry all the chemicals! and play that little game on the handheld computer you can pick up early on.

 

[gabbo]

Only interested if they can get the first game, as I've never played it.

As a huge SS fan I'll say it is too archaic to really enjoy these days. Give it a remake though and it would be ... Well probably ruined but you never know.

SS2 still stands up.

 

[reptilescorpio]

I cannot express with words just how aroused I am right now.

 

[Sober]

Time to put aside 10 dollars in anticipation for SS2...

 

[Lancehead]

Hope they release it, but NO Enhanced Editions or some such shit!

 

[inm8num2]

I want to believe.

 

[water1111]

Why SS2 instead of 1? Do you miss anything if you play 2 and skip 1.

 

[viewtifulsub]

Why SS2 instead of 1? Do you miss anything if you play 2 and skip 1.

SS2 on its own is a damn fine game, but I feel you'll get the most out of it by playing SS1 beforehand.

Mainly because

Spoiler

the final level is a remake of the opening SS1 level

which blew my mind nostalgia wise.

 

[Tomat]

OMG

I'll finally get the chance to try SS2?!

 

[Frolow]

Great news. I've been looking forward to playing SS2 after hearing all the praise for it, but never got around to actually getting the game. And I'm hoping SS1 gets released too since I'd prefer to play them in order.

 

[Instro]

I never did finish SS2, got to the big reveal and that was about it. I'll replay it if it gets the GoG release.

 

[wazoo]

SS2 works well on current hardware with the last fan patch, but anyway, a nich GOG package would be nice.

 

[CTLance]

Never got to tango with SHODAN. Please, please be true.

 

[batteryLeakage]

Never played either SS game. I'm eager to give it a try.

Do you need to have played SS1 to understand the sequel?

no

 

[jb1234]

I have the game disk of System Shock 2 and I keep reminding myself I need to play it and I keep on putting it off...

System Shock Portable helps a tiny bit though, with the control/aesthetic barriers (adds higher-res support, mouselook, and a few other odds and ends), which may be enough for some people who are determined enough to enjoy it.

[Tizoc]

Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 is on sale for $4:

[mclem]

My $9.99 is ready.

Time to put aside 10 dollars in anticipation for SS2...

You may - possibly - be disappointed:

The extra content being bundled as part of the GOG release will be “well worth the price”, we’re told.

That says to me that they might be thinking of selling it at a premium.

 

[subversus]

it's stupid to sell it for less than 20$ since there is such high demand.

Timing is also excellent since the release of Infinite is nearing.

Hmmm, I might have to try that if I can dig out my old CD; I think the lack of mouselook hurt the most.

I was just thinking I wouldn't be surprised if whoever has the rights tries to capitalise on the huge demand for it by charging more than expected, but hopefully I'm wrong.

 

[Maxrunner]

SS2 remake?

 

[subversus]

SS2 remake?

in HD graphix!

 

[mclem]

To be fair, as long as it's not ridiculously extortionately-priced, I think they can justify breaking away from the $6/$10 model for this title.

Would you buy SS2 for 30$?

 

[Lyonaz]

OMFG, hell yeah on SS2.

Now we need some Homeworld loving.

 

[mclem]

Would you buy SS2 for 30$?

I'd have to think about it. $20, I'd be fine with.

(This is, of course, presupposing that I didn't already own the game. But even then, I'm still considering it due to the ease of using GoG versions compared to the originals these days)

 

[Ingueferroque]

System Shock 1 hasn't aged that badly! Still an awesome game.

I never ..played System Shock 2 since it never came to Mac (SS1 did), looking forward to try it out.

 

[V_Ben]

I would buy SS2 for $20. For sure.

 

[Lime]

This is fucking huge news!

 

[MedIC86]

i feel really bad for saying this but i never (fully) played plansecape torment or fallout 1. With the recent re-release of baldurs gate (and having a lot of fun with that) i want to complete these games, so i got them on GoG.

What do you advice me to start with? Planescape or Fallout?

 

[Ithil]

Games that seriously need to be on GOG are the two System Shocks, Grim Fandango, Knight's Chase, and Albion.

 

[Omegasquash]

Best news I've heard in awhile. Happy to double dip. REALLY happy to.

 

[Dice]

What do you advice me to start with? Planescape or Fallout?

Which do you prefer: A rich story, or actually having fun?

 

[MedIC86]

Uhm thats a hard one, but i guess having fun keeps me playing?

 

[BloodMoney]

you had me at System Shock 2.

Very unfamiliar with GOG... would this be a revised version of the game (HD or something) or the same as whats on my original game disc?

I hope this news means that the intellectual property dispute which has been ongoing for the last decade may finally be resolved…? I wish Ken Levine would make his next project System Shock 3.

Totally forgot about this game.

I need to play it!
Has anyone here played Aliens: A Comic Book Adventure by Cryo?

[Noisepurge]

Awww Yuissss, can it be true? I hope this is not a cruel joke.

its the original game without any changes. BUT, it will run natively under modern Windows without you having to do any tricks.

Nice. I'd certainly repurchase it for $20 on Steam.

No one knows. Gog releases are usually preconfigured to work on modern day computers. Usually includes the latest patch, and some times includes unofficial patches/mods if the community area them as a necessity.
