OtherSide Entertainment has also shared the first official screenshots for System Shock 3
OtherSide Entertainment has bounced back from the cancellation of System Shock 3 and Warren Spector is working on a new game.
Confirming reports circulating earlier this week, developer OtherSide Entertainment has announced that Chinese corporation Tencent has assumed control of System 3 and will be "taking the System Shock franchise forward" from this point on.
A recent report has suggested that the development team behind System Shock 3 might no longer be working on the game. We've got all the details you need on what this could mean for the future of the franchise.
Crap! So sad to hear the news. Was super psyched for another game. Hope the workers will be ok
so confusing too many projects was that sequel or the remaster or the reboot ?
Looks exactly right,.. now how to design all environmental puzzles in that frame,..You need to have incredible game designers,..
Hope they succeed !
What about the System Shock Remake?
I REALLY want to play the SS games, waiting for the remasters. Bioshock is my goat.
It looks like it is actually rendered real-time in-engine using actual game assets, OH NO!
The System Shock games are among my favorite games of all time. To be honest I'm really nervous about System Shock 3. Underworld Ascendant, a spiritual successor to Ultima Underworld developed by Otherside Entertainment (same studio, different team), was disaster. To be fair it had a very limited budget and only had a dev team of 6 people or so. But now that the publishing deal with Starbreeze has been canceled who knows how that will impact the production of System Shock 3. If they won't get a deal with another publisher in the next couple of months I'd take it as a sign that they don't really have a promising project at this point.
It's great that they have Warren Spector on board but as much of a legend as he is, I'm not sure that he still got it as a game director. If Ken Levine was directing this, I'd be much more confident in the outcome.
Hopefully Warren and his team at Otherside can prove me wrong.
