And we were on our way to make something unique and possibly fun, but probably not what the audience was hungry for.” So, we had to be creative and clever and weird. We were a small team and knew we couldn’t compete with current immersive sims in production quality and breadth. “Those high expectations drove a lot of expensive experimentation. That is of course if Starbreeze hadn’t gone into a crisis. I never suggested we were halfway done, core systems are a great foundation for a game but most of the work is content development which we were critically behind in, both in real assets and in tool support for an efficient pipeline.”Īccording to the former developer, the System Shock 3 would be able to offer something interesting with some fresh and innovative gameplay.

Nightdive has proven once again that they fully understand what made the classics so indispensable. System Shock is the perfect nexus between design and narrative choices. It creates a flow and atmosphere that are difficult to achieve. Or rather, she’s constantly a physical threat as you are in her very being.
