Well, my (Robin Ek, TGG) Saturday sure couldn´t have started off any better than it did. And the reason why is spelled "System Shock". You see. NightDive studios dropped a playable demo for their remake of "System Shock 1" yesterday (the Kickstarter campaign has gone live as well). So these are my thoughts on the demo (+ the Kickstarter campaign) so far.
"The award-winning "System Shock remake", based on the iconic 1994 sci-fi action game, has today received its highly anticipated version 1.2 PC content update — adding an expanded ending, a new female hacker protagonist and dozens of gameplay enhancements." - Nightdive Studios and PLAION.
A winner is you =) So is my youngest brother, who just bought himself a brand-new Gaming PC.
The original PlayStation library has dozens of classics long since forgotten - TechStomper unearths five of these gems which have been lost to time for one reason or another.
Disruptor PS1, a pre Goldeneye console FPS from 1996 (with Command and Conquer type FMV cutscenes) and the first game by a pre Spyro Insomniac Studios directed by Mark Cerny. A good game for its time, and pre Bioshock use of telekinesis type powers. A game sadly almost completely lost to time
I have never even heard of it, so that must be a deep cut. Sounds really interesting and I might dig it out :-)
First one was so good but second one on another level!!!
Still hoping to see a next gen version..
@Cacabunga Yeah, I preferred II for the real-timier combat. I would love to see both remade or remastered.
We need to bring back the golden era of ps1 & ps2 .
We need to see quality games developed with alot of passion to make gamers satisfied .
We need to benefit from new AI technology to bring something new to games something like " nemesis systems " that used in shadow of morder and upgrade it to next level
The economics of games has changed a lot since the PS1 and PS2. As much as I would love a return to those days, it's not not at all likely.
OVERRIDER is a new sci-fi roguelite about hoverboarding and smashing robots, and there's a Kickstarter campaign to help get it funded.
Imo, the demo gave you a pretty good idea about what Nightdive is trying to do with their remake of SS1.
Downloading the free demo now
My demo keeps crashing, I get a black screen and can still hear the in game sfx running, but no game screen.
The little I played was great though, want more.

I see, and do you use Linux, Win 10 or 7?
