Yes, System Shock! A wonderful little PC game developed by Looking Glass Technologies and published by Origin Systems in 1994. Following the exploits of an unnamed corporate hacker seized for his cybercrimes, the hacker attempts to seize back control of a mining station from the grips of S.H.O.D.A.N in return for a one-of-a-kind “Get out of Jail Free” card. Oh, and for a Military-Grade Neural Interface too, of course. Although System Shock was regrettably a sleeper hit upon its initial release, it pioneered many of the gameplay and story elements commonly found in video games today."
System Shock returns to Xbox and PlayStation with a faithful recreation of the classic, adding new features, ending and 4K 60FPS visuals
It was remade last year for PC , Now released and OPTIMIZED and PORTED for/to Xbox and PS5, not “remade” just for consoles.
“it follows a critically acclaimed release on PC back in 2023” that’s because it’s the same work/game. it’s not following/follow up or a continuation. Author Sounds like they are taking a stab at an article and don’t know the product-line lineage and release history/ hierarchy they are attempting to inform you about.
More appropriately: System Shock was first rereleased in 2023 on PC, System shock is now available on PS5 and Xbox.
Review - System Shock very much deserves its second coming, and so many groundbreaking elements of the original game still impress
System Shock returns in 2024 as a premiere FPS narrative experience that shocks the player with each step. An easy recommendation for First-Person fans.
Loved it.
didnt play the 1st one but system shock 2 is a masterpiece.
