@GeneralMcNuggs im the only one who thinks half life is way too overrated? its good, but lacks some specific features: weapons never feel like they are powerful. story is in a way good, but the mix between story and action isnt. i feel like running around senselessly shooting stuff.
can they take this intro to Queen of Blade Zerg or F.e.a.r. Perseus Mandate Security from armacham need an ADT update vs. surrogates 2011 not Manqueinn 1995 trailer or Surrogates! Sounds to much re-run advertising from this security company similar to Fallout New Vegas Or Resident Evil Apocalypse!
@MrFatimals its 1999 u dumb ass this was way ahead of its time and it still holds up today i have it on my lap top i still play lots of older games from when i was younger thats what real gamers do along with playing new games
this is one of those rare games that really make you shit your pants in the full sense of that statement. i believe if you played this game for 2 hours without stopping you'd probably end up in a hospital if not dead:D
They should really make System Shock into a movie. If done right it would be the perfect cyberpunk/horror film. The story of both games are full of themes on morality, religion and the impact of technology and genetic engineering on the human condition. Concepts of technological singularity and forced evolution, etc.
This game is one of the most challenging, deep developing stories to be ever engraved into my mind. I love it & hate it. The gun repairs, the looking for the chemicals on different levels challenging and so desolate. I've finished this game twice & somewhere deep down inside once & a while I miss playing it. Very long, weird but absolutely fantastic game play and story. This should be remade for newer consoles.
@biciunas If you use a torrent to download it by searching up "System Shock 2 torrent Windows 7" you may find it. I got it for Vista and play it all the time. :)
Monkey psionics was scary too! Remember when you heard their cries somewhere near by but not seen them and than - ssssshhhhhboom sssshhhhboom and you're dead. :)
@jamesfish05 It's the Tribe remix of the System Shock 1 theme, used in the CD version's intro movie. Fun fact: Tribe was a rock band that included Eric Brosius (SS2's sound and music designer), Terri Brosius (the voice of SHODAN) and Greg LoPiccolo (one of the music designers of SS1).
@GamePreorders Why should they? The orginal company who made the System shock games, Looking glass studios is dead and the rights to the series is owned by EA and EA will just ruin the sequel since they would make unnecessary changes to it to make it more appealing to casual idiots who shouldn't be playing a game like this anyway. Seriously you should of seen what they were going to do to Ultima 4 with their canceled DS remake it was awful.
The right company just needs to work on it. Look at Dues Ex 3 for example. Everybody that played the leaked demo said it's great and from what I've seen it even looks like good ol' Dues Ex.
I'd love to see someone get a shot at it before righting the idea off without even seeing what could be done with it. Plus if a game is moddable people can make mods to shape it the way they want it.
@topdod Sadly the right company wont get their hands on it with EA owning the rights which is a shame System Shock 1 and 2 as well as Deus Ex(the original Deus Ex was headed by one of the System shock 2 team members and was meant as a spiritual follow up) but as I said it's EA and I doubt they will do the right thing instead will do the more "profitable" thing and make it mainstream accessible like they were going to do with their Ultima 4 remake
@Trialtrex21 It was not a official successor it was a spiritual one as in a follow up in spirit like Fallout was a spiritual follow up to Interplay's original post apocalypse rpg Wasteland. Just like Deus Ex was also a spiritual follow up to System Shock 2.
EA has plans for a "official" sequel/reboot to System Shock
if you've played mass effect 2 you'll get what i'm about to say: I honestly think that the DLC mission "overlord" is somewhat based off of this. except instead of AI it's a VI, and the VI is a dude
This game is incredible and the intro is top notch.... but...... I may be nitpicking......... but I don't get the title in the intro. What's the game supposed to be called? SHOCK System Shock 2?
@Adeebster This is the game that spawned the Bioshock series. However, as great as both of them were, neither lived up to how great System Shock 2 was, even for as old as the game is. "How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?"
God how I wish EA'd sign on a good developer to continue this legacy. An awesome story driven developer like Bioware could make System Shock 3 EPIC.
@xcomcmdr I just feel its better suited towards a studio more experienced with FPS, like Valve. I love Bioware's games, just wouldn't be confident with them developing it.
@Adeebster I've only played the first System Shock right now but even that was an instant classic as far as I was concerned. Definitely don't brush these off, especially if you like bioshock. Well worth the time to play
I don't get why the game says the hacker created Shodan he didn't! He just removed her ethical constraints. Trioptimum is the one that makes Shodan and Edward Diego set the hacker up with his stupid Ultimatum. Also since Shodan had to have ethical constraints in the first place to barely keep her stable she isn't a very securely safe AI in the first place.
i really wish they would make another game like this i mean come on after nearly 10 years this intro still sends shivers down my spine i mean seriously are you really saying no one can come up with a game like this anymore. with the posible expection of deadspace but even that felt so formualted and cliche.
I'm scared by this game, granted I get scared the first time I play anything but this I've made little to no progress :P I keep getting killed by gosh darn monsters >.< Stupid wrench :P But I can't wait to carry on, it look awsome :D
I torrented system shock 2 off piratebay and it works, but for some reson when i try to move stuff from my inventory, whn i click it it dosent pick it up and i went through the control settings and nothing helps, also when hacking the butttons act like im not clicking them.
There will be now more games like this now. Games like this were challanging, interesting, well written, with multi format games now are dumbed down to compensate for the console market. Shame.
SS2 is still my favorite game of ALL TIME! I have played it through 20+ times and I am still frightened by it! I remember one night, while playing, my Wife came up to me while I was just sitting there, staring at the screen. She asked "what's wrong"?
@kermit3421 LOL its such a desolate game, the dead silence and the sounds of each monster (or whatever you call it) they're very distinct. I can hear the grumbling of the humanoid zombie thing, the monkey screeching, the robitic sounds of the cyborg, the stomping of the giant patrol machine. Great game, very challenging, psychologically stimulating & terrifying. I haven't found a game similar to this, the only one that comes close is F.E.A.R, Doom 3 & Half life 2 great games also.
This is of course my personal opinion, but I believe Deus Ex superseded this game in all aspects other than voice acting. Ion storm simply took this game, placed it on earth, and tried to improve upon it. I believe they succeeded.
@1Avion1 Yeah it's been debated for a long time whether Deus Ex is better. I know you'll probably hate me for saying this but I one of the extreme minority who hates Deus Ex. The RPG elements are really in depth and the idea is brilliant, but I felt it was really badly implemented. I've tried playing the game nine and each time I get further but then I refuse to play.
@1Avion1 However I feel that Deus Ex 3 will improve on the original's problems such as the aiming and shooting. The fact you have to invest lots of points into that skill to actually aim the gun properly completely undermines the immersion. I also felt that the stealth was abysmal. I know the combat wasn't great in SS2 but at least you could aim and shoot the gun without any hassle. But I think this is just something and considering the amount of praise for DE then I'm probably wrong.
@The360gamerzz Personal opinion is a beautiful thing. I had Deus Ex for about 4 years, and never got past the first level. Then, I sat down, and played for a good fourteen hours in one sitting. I still haven't finished, but for some reason it just hooked me that time. similar to your opinion on the first Deus Ex, I seem to be in the extreme minority that doesn't have high hopes for the upcoming third game (although this is mostly due to a lack of faith in Square Enix).
@1Avion1 Yeah Square Enix suck. There were only two games that were published by them that were brilliant and they were Batman Arkham Asylum and Just Cause 2. But both of those games in my opinion are the best of their respective genre. I still have high hopes for Deus Ex 3 though. From what I've seen and read on Deus Ex 3 it looks phenomal. Can't wait for the release date announcement this week!
We need more real hardcore single player games like this these days im talking late nights, calling in sick to work type games with amazing story lines, cool audio diary's that suck you into the story and experience, atmosphere and sound that is still unmatched today type of games. No, Bioshock was good but not this good it was too consoleized, there was no inventory which meant no equipable items, no carrying around supply's and what not because it would be to complex without a mouse i guess.
11 years old and still looking and sounding better than that game bungie made for mac/pc but sold out to microsoft,sat on it for 2 years and ported a FPS game to a fucking console :(.
Halo or something... I think, so many shitty games out there.Well it ended up like crap suited for pre-teens instead of something amazing like this game or HL.
@jase276 Nope. But I do think he's the worst person on youtube (Next to Shane Dawson and the Annoying Orange). He's an insane loud ginger with a forced, sexist, vulgar sense of humor, disturbingly bulgy eyes, a giant gap in his teeth, and something stuck in his windpipe, I mean, have you seen his neck? it looks like there's a chicken bone stuck in there. My point is you don't seem to have the best taste.
@LegoJunk128 Well I haven't seen any of his new videos.I only saw one of his videos a long time ago when they used to be good and thought "eh,why the not".It was a good vid so i gave him a sub.Don't be so quick to judge
@jase276 I also noticed you're subscribed to the official Vampires Suck channel. So... you hate System Shock 2, yet you find the latest taint burger from those two unfunny spoof douches entertaining? Yeah, bad taste.
@LegoJunk128 I hope you know I'm not the only one using this acc but ok.I never said I hated System Shock 2 or that it's a bad game.I only said this video was boring,could you assume anymore.Then again you do make videos of you playing with toys so I guess you can't really insult someone's taste now can you.
@jase276 I also noticed you're subscribed to the official Vampires Suck channel. So... you hate System Shock 2, yet you find the latest taint burger from those two unfunny spoof douches entertaining? Yeah, bad taste.
i played this game at 10 - 11 PM at night, all the lights off. headphones. i was INTO the game, tunnel-visioned into playing the game. was deep into the game, the real piss-your-pants scary parts. i was concentrating on getting past some Annelid-hybrid guys, complete concentration. my brother comes up beside me, and says something intelligible, and HE SCARED THE PISS OUT OF ME. i seriously thought for one nano second that an Annelid was RIGHT beside me.
i hella love collecting chems for the missions and doing what needed to be done, but ... i needed my boomboom maker... i needed those heavy rounds for those bots...eek. i love this game like forever!! (same like i like thief series games!!! - both by lgs!) hehe fun stuffffff :) i played bioshock on ps3...umm nothing close to feel of ss2... i hope they make true ss3 ... its like a good deus ex ..maybe they'll do it again ;)
I don't know I kind of find it hard to use the controls, also the go there fetch that fix those and then go is a bit tedious. No match to Deus Ex., but a good game nontheless.
All I know is that I want this game remade with todays graphics and make it alot longer than what it was before by adding more missions and decks, but keep the same story line and combat play, i have the original game but i can't play it cause of the Operating Systems like Vista lol
Boy, I'm glad EA likes sitting on copyrights more than making new games! WooHoo! This game is awesome, best villain ever, favorite video game ever, get the graphical upgrades, newer models, newer textures from ttlg website tho.
@Sephlock Of course. And then Dead Space, a complete rip off, was successful, Bioshock was successful, all while they're sitting on the license to the damn thing!
how can you play ss 2 on an amd quad core à 2.6 ghz, Geforce GTX 260 and windows 7 professional 64 bit without rewriting anything or tuning the cores? and if there's no other way, what is the safest mehtod? thx
I don't think I can support Irrational Games anymore, nope, sorry. I said if there was a Bioshock 3 (which infinite is) before a System Shock 3 I could no longer support this sequel'd out shell of a game company.
Wow, if SS2 was remade with the stellar graphics of Bioshock and with a little gameplay tweaking, it would be freaking ridiculous how good it would be.
@Cryer24597 bioshock is system shock rip-off. everything feels the same (rapture=von braun, hybrids=splicers, janice polito=atlas) i know its made by same guys, and its a spiritual sequal, but i really didnt like the feel of the game. i like more of the alien-feel of system shock
@JURPO90 So Bioshock is not a rip-off than. Like they said..spiritual successor 'a successor to a work of fiction which does not directly build upon the storyline established by a previous work as do most traditional prequels or sequels, but nevertheless features many of the same elements, themes, and styles as its source material.' I loved system shock 2 but I don't mislabel by saying bioshock was a rip off. I loved that game too.
@Cryer24597 You can totally tell this fag's a casual by that message he left. ROFL. BioShock? Even remotely as good as System Shock 1 and 2? ROFL HARD
You know if they remade this and released it on XBL or PSN i would totally buy it, why not Bioshock 2 just came out and that was fucking awesome, They could do a "from the creators of Bioshock". It will probably be hard to remake cause they would need to rebuild the engine but fuck getting this thing to run on a modern computer is a pain and besides I prefer a controller and my sofa. It would be cool, they could remake the first one too, charge like 10-15 bucks id get them both.
@Sagaramath@Sagaramath pretty much yeah. so much better than bioshock this game.and of course the planescape torments and fallouts so much better than the stuff bioware make these days. guess back then developers cared about what they made.
System Shock is kind of survival horror game like Resident Evil. Bioshock is more kind of shooter like counter-strike. It is kind of sad that Bioshock might feel scarier than System Shock, just because it is technically much better and uses oportunities that were not possible in 1999, I didn't find BioShock or even the sequel so scary as it should have been. It just didn't catch all of that what was in System Shock.
@D3THFAN I have turtlebeach X1 headphones (Sexy Quality) i admit it was scary but it isnt the "scariest pc game" as you so put it, i found doom 3 scarier
Kid, try headphones that aren't a gimmick and marketed soley to gamers. You don't know anything about "quality" sound if you think Turtlebeach headphones have "sexy quality". Jesus Christ.
@iHateKids555 Well to be fair i couldnt really care less, the quality is good to me, i dont really give a shit about your infinate knowledge of "Quality" so fuck off :)
@iHateKids555 Also, how do you judge what i think is sexy quality? Im sure an opinion plays a part in it, i could say a game has amazing graphic quality whereas you could say it has terrible graphics quality, it doesnt really come down to fact. I dont claim to know anything about quality but i do know that Turtlebeach does infact have good quality compared to alot of headsets for them to even set up a company with so many sales and to be so popular amongst gamers.
@iHateKids555 I understand that they're a company who produces headsets solely "for" gamers to buy but that doesn't deny that they're good quality at all, for the amount of money you pay for them I'd say that they are sexy quality compared to headsets/speakers that cost the same amount yet have terrible quality.
deadspace is a decent shooter, well above decent. But you can't compare it to systemshock.
because System Shock is beyond a shooter, like dead space. I still play SS2 everyonce in a while when I'm really bored, still a great game. Lots of replay, not to mention the great mods for it.
I got Half Life, System Shock 2, and Starsiege in 1999.
It's been down hill ever since

Never has a game been so intelligent and immersive.

@The360gamerzz Personal opinion is a beautiful thing. I had Deus Ex for about 4 years, and never got past the first level. Then, I sat down, and played for a good fourteen hours in one sitting. I still haven't finished, but for some reason it just hooked me that time. similar to your opinion on the first Deus Ex, I seem to be in the extreme minority that doesn't have high hopes for the upcoming third game (although this is mostly due to a lack of faith in Square Enix).
1Avion1 10 months ago
@1Avion1 Yeah Square Enix suck. There were only two games that were published by them that were brilliant and they were Batman Arkham Asylum and Just Cause 2. But both of those games in my opinion are the best of their respective genre. I still have high hopes for Deus Ex 3 though. From what I've seen and read on Deus Ex 3 it looks phenomal. Can't wait for the release date announcement this week!

We need more real hardcore single player games like this these days im talking late nights, calling in sick to work type games with amazing story lines, cool audio diary's that suck you into the story and experience, atmosphere and sound that is still unmatched today type of games. No, Bioshock was good but not this good it was too consoleized, there was no inventory which meant no equipable items, no carrying around supply's and what not because it would be to complex without a mouse i guess.

i played this game at 10 - 11 PM at night, all the lights off. headphones. i was INTO the game, tunnel-visioned into playing the game. was deep into the game, the real piss-your-pants scary parts. i was concentrating on getting past some Annelid-hybrid guys, complete concentration. my brother comes up beside me, and says something intelligible, and HE SCARED THE PISS OUT OF ME. i seriously thought for one nano second that an Annelid was RIGHT beside me.
that's how good this game is.

@Cryer24597 bioshock is system shock rip-off. everything feels the same (rapture=von braun, hybrids=splicers, janice polito=atlas) i know its made by same guys, and its a spiritual sequal, but i really didnt like the feel of the game. i like more of the alien-feel of system shock
JURPO90 1 year ago
@JURPO90 So Bioshock is not a rip-off than. Like they said..spiritual successor 'a successor to a work of fiction which does not directly build upon the storyline established by a previous work as do most traditional prequels or sequels, but nevertheless features many of the same elements, themes, and styles as its source material.' I loved system shock 2 but I don't mislabel by saying bioshock was a rip off. I loved that game too.

You know if they remade this and released it on XBL or PSN i would totally buy it, why not Bioshock 2 just came out and that was fucking awesome, They could do a "from the creators of Bioshock". It will probably be hard to remake cause they would need to rebuild the engine but fuck getting this thing to run on a modern computer is a pain and besides I prefer a controller and my sofa. It would be cool, they could remake the first one too, charge like 10-15 bucks id get them both.

MrDrumlineman 1 year ago
System Shock is kind of survival horror game like Resident Evil. Bioshock is more kind of shooter like counter-strike. It is kind of sad that Bioshock might feel scarier than System Shock, just because it is technically much better and uses oportunities that were not possible in 1999, I didn't find BioShock or even the sequel so scary as it should have been. It just didn't catch all of that what was in System Shock.

I still find Bioshock the scariest pc game. Play it in surround sound, the ambient sounds will scare the hell out of you.

@D3THFAN Did you play SS2 through, when it came out 1999?
Bioshock is technically better than SS2, so it doesn't have great surround sound.

@iHateKids555 Also, how do you judge what i think is sexy quality? Im sure an opinion plays a part in it, i could say a game has amazing graphic quality whereas you could say it has terrible graphics quality, it doesnt really come down to fact. I dont claim to know anything about quality but i do know that Turtlebeach does infact have good quality compared to alot of headsets for them to even set up a company with so many sales and to be so popular amongst gamers.
LDreamerDude 1 year ago
@iHateKids555 I understand that they're a company who produces headsets solely "for" gamers to buy but that doesn't deny that they're good quality at all, for the amount of money you pay for them I'd say that they are sexy quality compared to headsets/speakers that cost the same amount yet have terrible quality.

deadspace is a decent shooter, well above decent. But you can't compare it to systemshock.
because System Shock is beyond a shooter, like dead space. I still play SS2 everyonce in a while when I'm really bored, still a great game. Lots of replay, not to mention the great mods for it.

SS2 was and still is a masterpiece.
Not only the atmosphere of the game, but the all things in it!
I've played through both BioShocks, and allthough they are praised, they don't get even a glimpse of it.
