Yet it's the truth.. Also Prey was indeed a spiritual successor, as told by Arkane Studios.if you told me when I was playing DS that it was supposed to be SS3, I’d have raised an eyebrow
System Shock 2021
- Thread starter PiLhEaD
- Start date
It is indeed, there’s no doubt about that, but I probably wouldn’t have believed it back when DS came out.
Are you looking forward to the recently-announced VR version of SS2? I’m going to be all over that like a necromorph on Isaac
Seeing as the original SS1 was actually a VR game (with the Forte VFX1) I still hope to experience it that way as well, either the old game or the new remake.
I couldn't have put it better myself.I also put in the untethered mod for when I did my VR playthrough - like you say, it’s easier overall but a proper knicker-gripper once the beast does turn up
I'm not into remakes. While I enjoyed SS2 and still think it's one of the best games of all times, I've been through it completely, and have a huge backlog of other excellent games to play yetAre you looking forward to the recently-announced VR version of SS2?

And yeah, I still enjoyed DS1 despite not liking remakes, as it had a much more enjoyable combat experience, and you could almost feel the weight of each hit, and IMHO the game stands on its own overall.Hush!

(I’ve recently finished Final Fantasy’s 6, 7 & part-way through 8, so I’m catching up
)I’ve found that old games made playable in VR are a big thing for me - being able to step into those worlds is something I’d never thought I’d get to do, especially at the standard of today’s VR.
Oh my gosh, SOMA... I'd totally forgotten that game. It was on my 'to buy' list for ages, but for one reason or another I never got it! Will have to have a look (yet again)....
Yeah, it's like a trend currently. Like zombie survival games. Every game and their dog gets a remake.I'm not into remakes. While I enjoyed SS2 and still think it's one of the best games of all times, I've been through it completely, and have a huge backlog of other excellent games to play yet
Mostly pointless, imo.
My advice is complete the game first, THEN and only then (after seeing it through) go and watch the YT live miniseries they did about it, because it's not only full of spoilers, also you have zero chance to understand the multiple levels of horror that happen in there without having played the game first, or even who are the protagonists. The miniseries is then excellent, and pure nightmare fuel.
Thanks very much for the advice and it's still holding a good price too - always a positive sign. I'm off to dip both toes it SOMA, whilst wondering how I let it pass me by the first time. Thanks again!
