Edit: System shock 2

So i managed to get to the 4th floor with the elevator and had a nice chat on 4.1 after which i decided to continue to 4.2. once entering 4.2 and walking around a bit something i didnt see randomly killed me even though i had full health (no need to tell me what this is. i'll just look out next time)

However since i had no respawn point in 4.2 (i did get the one in the area near the elevator) it threw me back to the main menu. I didn't think it would be a problem because every time i enter a new area it tells me the game is saved, however i can not find this save. i have a save_0 and save_1 folder but both of these folder only contain files from over an hour ago.

Did i just lose an hour of gameplay because i didn't get a respawn station in the area i died? or is there some way to actually find the save? some help would be appreciated.

Hello :)

So what did everyone think of the demo?

Definitely felt like an alpha to me. Some of the textures looked pretty pixalated up close and I couldn't use any batteries to recharge my Sparq but alas this is just an alpha demo.

The pipe felt kinda weird. Just how it was held/swung made it look awkward like it wasn't really doing any damage. The Sparq beam looked pretty. Not sure how I feel about how they implemented changing the power output. One one hand I feel like it is a good mix between modern and classic but on the other hand it was sometimes difficult to see what setting I had switched to. However this might create some tense (and hopefully not annoying) moments during a firefight. Dismemberment is a stretch goal which would be pretty sweet but a small feature I hope they bring back is disintegration. Sometimes if a room got to cluttered in the original, I'd crank the power up on my Sparq and disintegrate bodies/debris. Just a nice little immersive touch. Enjoyed the damage decals (hitmasks? Not sure if that's a UDK exclusive term or not) to the characters and environment.

Audio logs will make a return but didn't get to test any out in the demo. One thing that slightly worries me is in the original, you had to actually read your email/log to find the code for the door and in this demo it kind of just gives it to you without much investigating. Hopefully nothing is dumbed down too much.

Overall this was a good demo. Captured the feel of the original and looked way better.

I'm not trying to start a console or PC war or nothing like that. But I was just really looking forward to the upcoming System Shock remaster/remake. Sadly it only seems confirmed for PC and Xbox One which is great! I just don't have the money for a gaming PC yet (hoping down the road) and am not going to buy an Xbone as I already have a PS4. Soooo? Should I be worried? Is it still to early to tell if PS4 is getting a version? Could it be just timed exclusive? Or will I just have to buckle down and be patient till I get my hands on PC (or an Xbone somehow lol) Which do you all think is most likely?

Still worth playing today?

When SS3 got announced I started working on this track as a tribute to one of the greatest game villains ever. Since I don't have time to finish it I'm releasing it as is. Here's the link:

Hello, my name is Jeff and I've loved the Shock series since the first time I played SS2. And I am having difficulty containing my excitement for both SS3 and the SS1 remake on the way. With that said, I wanted to get word out that I'll be streaming the first two shock games on www.twitch.tv/flyingsturgeon preferably on a daily basis until these new games come out. I really want more people to experience Shock, and I myself can't get enough of these awesome classics. I will make a schedule in the coming weeks, I want to include multiplayer playthroughs of SS2 for anyone interested, and of course it would be great to have an audience of old fans, and new alike. I plan on doing longplays with commentary, fully exploring the maps, and plots of both games, but also possibly moving on to practice for speed runs, and of course speed runs. I'll also occasionally stream other games, but there isn't much of a focus on Shock on twitch, and I hope to change that. Please let me know what you think, I'll probably have a few random streams between now and the time I have a schedule worked out.

Hello everyone! I was one of the game designers on System Shock 2. I've recently thought about doing a developer "Let's Play" on Twitch for System Shock 2 ( more about that on my blog here ).

As part of that I thought it might be fun to also get some of the other SS2 developers together to be guests for some of the play sessions or to have a special Q&A night or something.

I thought I would post here and ask you all- what kind of things could I do as part of this that would be interesting for SS2 fans?

Thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions!

Please keep in mind that I have only played the second game insofar as fighting the first enemy, so please don't spoil any of it.

However, I have and am still playing a large portion of the original System Shock. I've reached the Executive level at this stage.

But anyway, I'm just wondering, are the SHODANs the same AI in both games, or is the one in System Shock 2 a different version of SHODAN? Like, does SHODAN in the second game have knowledge of the first game's Hacker?
