An hour to go, why the hell am I so excited? The game scared the crap out of me the first time I played it.

 

[Fjordson]

Looks like it.

Oh wow. I'm dying @ the description lmao.

Just what I'll need though, thank you.

1 HOUR! ARE YOU READY?

 

[mclem]

GoG might be up, but systemshock.org seems to have keeled over under the demand for mods!

 

[Fried Food]

yeah I'm not downloading the mods that change character graphics. Never played SS2 before and I want as clean an experience as possible. I'm considering not even using the environment texture mod

The environment texture mod is the goods. Really the ones Mr Boo linked before are tried and tested.

SS2 SHTUP (Shock Texture Update Project) - What it sounds like, faithful to original textures, lots of comparisons included in link (just scroll down), see for yourself.
Dark Engine Widescreen mod - Self explanatory once again, high-res + widescreen support.
System Shock 2.4 - High-res/widescreen support, tons of bugs fixes and other improvements, see link (thanks Stallion Free for pointing it out)
SS2 Schatten SHMUP (Shock Music Update) - Faithful recreation of music using higher quality version of soundtrack (in cases where original music arrangements were not present in soundtrack, original is left untouched).
SS2 Modmanager - If you want to start trying other mods (like Rebirth and so on).

There's a small chance mods may need to be updated before working with GOG's release, but it likely won't be a very long wait if so.

Edit: Additional one, thanks angular graphics!

Sorry. One for the old timers.

Btw some friendly advice from old man toddhunter for those playing it for the first time. You'll probably be wondering "what the hell do I upgrade and what path do I choose? There are so many options, won't something please hold my hand?"

The best way by far to go is to play to your own strengths and ideal character, but unfortunately SS2 isn't quite as balanced as you will like in the later game and you can sort of screw yourself over. So I'll just say when in doubt?

Spoiler

Navy, Standard weapons and the assault rifle will see you home.

. The rest you can work out for yourselves.

Just watched a video of that encounter on youtube. Fuck me it is an awesome game.

10 minutes !!!!!

I hope they managed to put it running on Mac OS X. I will run it through Parallels if they don't but it would be cool to have a native version.

I see a lot of visual tweak mods on that site the textures and rebirth were linked at, could someone who has played through the game compile a nice list of stuff that look good yet consistent and enhance as much as possible of the original game for the OT? For example I see there are high resolution space backgrounds (with or without added planets), weapon skins (the creator of most hasn't done all of them but then there are some other models here and there that perhaps complete the list) and other such stuff not covered by the high quality object textures mod everyone's recommending. I understand the monster model mod is out for consistency reasons but some of those other tweaks don't seem to be bad to my untrained eye.

I've seen that, it only has the object textures as far as assets go, hence my post, which I guess you didn't read, but thanks.

[shintoki]

You know, I don't have very much time to play it and I have never bought a full price game yet on GoG.

BUT I'M SO FUCKING TEMPTED TO DROP EVERYTHING NOW AND PICK THIS UP.

 

[Noisepurge]

"Your order is complete! Thank you"

 

[Alexios]

It says co-op in the features... They fixed multiplayer?

What's still out there from Looking Glass, anyway? Flight Unlimited, Terra Nova, SS1... what else?

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

okay, so what are the recommended mods for this baby?

 

[subversus]

It charged me twice but gave no game.

Fuck you Shodan. I'm writing to your webmaster.

Currently listening the OST. So good.
