A System Shock strategy game? Sign me up.
, Nightdive CEO Stephen Kick mulled over a few potential projects the studio could attach the System Shock name to, including a straightforward remake of System Shock 2 or, intriguingly, an XCOM-like strategy game set on Citadel Station."breathe on its own for a bit" before the studio committed to a full remake of that game, meaning there might be a bit of room to experiment with the series.
In System Shock, about six months pass in between the player character hacking SHODAN to remove her ethical restraints and waking up from his subsequent post-surgery healing coma, leaving quite a lot of time in the interim for Nightdive to stage a strategy game.
"Personally, I think that would be really cool," said Kick, and I have to agree. It would probably be a fairly tragic game, given that Citadel's resistance doesn't succeed in toppling SHODAN before System Shock's player character shows up, but seeing the station's fall would be an interesting twist of perspective.
This is just one of several ideas Nightdive is kicking around right now, so there's absolutely no guarantee it'll ever get further than Kick idly noting that it sounds neat, but the studio can at least put me down in the 'in favour' column. I'm very curious to see where System Shock goes next.by, uh, me, I had my quibbles with how faithfully Nightdive had adapted the strengths and weaknesses of the original game, but I thought it did justice to such a beloved classic.
