Classic sci-fi horror adventure System Shock is getting a reboot by Nightdive Studios. Though it's currently in its embryonic pre-alpha phase and still raising money on Kickstarter, there's a demo of the remake available so we decided to give it a spin and see how it compares to the Enhanced Edition of the original adventure (which was also spruced up by Nightdive Studios).
The VideoGamer Podcast is joined by Xbox creator Seamus Blackley to discuss his storied career across the games industry.
If you have Steam Deck and want to explore more Sci-Fi shooters, Humble Bundle has a great offer for you. Players praise the selection.
Awesome deal for some amazing games. Prey is one of the most underrated games of recent memory, and Nightdive did a damn amazing job with the System Shock remake.
This is a tempting offer. I may circle back once I go through everything, I wanted to get this holiday season.
"System Shock Remake balances preserving what made the 1994 original such a widely respected piece of gaming history with bringing its themes, story and game design up to date."

Great game but I do have 1 big issue with the controls on PS5. Unlike most games where to sprint you just click the stick in once as you're moving, in this game you actually have to keep the stick pushed in the whole time. Very unpleasant. And there's no toggle in the settings to fix it.
So for anyone who plays the game on console, I'd recommend changing sprint to R1/RB. And change crouching to toggle instead of hold.
