System Shock 3 Teased | Nouse Nouse Web Archives System Shock 3 teased Page 1 of 2 News Comment MUSE. Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Gaming › News Features Reviews System Shock 3 teased Sequel to seminal ’90’s cyberpunk series revealed By Naveen Morris, Gaming Editor (2015/16) Wednesday 9 December 2015 A countdown clock has appeared on Otherside Entertainment’s website, and thanks to a user on the forums of RPG Codex, the page set to reveal on the wee hours of Monday has been found already live. While the page we’re all supposed to see currently, at the time of writing, simply has the letters “s s k”, three cryptic lines, and a sentence that reads: “I am flawless, perpetual… absolute”, user ‘LESS T_T’ has found through the web page’s source code the page (pictured above) that unveils the release of System Shock 3, the third entry from the highly-acclaimed first-person cyberpunk series. Much of Otherside Entertainment’s staff is made up of the defunct-in-2000 company Looking Glass Studios, who made several innovative and highly influential games, including System Shock (1994) and System Shock 2 (1999). The legacy of Looking Glass is evident through countless games of the past 15 years. Games like Dishonored (Arkane Studios, 2012) took after Looking Glass’s seminal first-person stealth game Thief (1998), which itself had a second sequel released in 2004 and a reboot in 2014, while franchises such as those of Deus Ex (Ion Storm, Eidos Montreal) and BioShock (Irrational Games, 2K Marin) took after the System Shock series. Now, in 2015, System Shock is getting more of the love that it deserves. In September, an enhanced edition of the original game was released on GOG.com, a distribution service that re-releases old games for easy play on modern rigs. In November, the same company that released the enhanced edition, Night Dive Studios, who also own the IP for System Shock, announced that they have started work on a fuller reimagining of the original System Shock. With the forthcoming official announcement of System Shock 3, the series that pioneered the genre of player-driven, intelligent and cerebral first-person shooters known as ‘immersive sims’, will be coming to new generation. http://nouse.co.uk/2015/12/09/system-shock-3-teased Archived 11 Dec 2018 10:43:41 Nouse Web Archives System Shock 3 teased Page 2 of 2 Most Read Discussed 1.

  • 2K Games and Irrational Games Announce Bioshock(R) Infinite
    2K Games and Irrational Games Announce BioShock(R) Infinite August 12, 2010 2:01 PM ET Creators of original BioShock(R) look to the sky in the next chapter of the award-winning franchise NEW YORK, Aug 12, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- 2K Games announced today that BioShock(R) Infinite, a first-person shooter, is currently in development at Irrational Games, the studio behind the original BioShock(R) which has sold over 4 million units worldwide. Set in 1912, BioShock Infinite introduces an entirely new narrative experience that lifts players out of the familiar confines of Rapture and rockets them to Columbia, an immense city in the sky. BioShock Infinite is currently planned for release during calendar 2012. Originally conceived as a floating symbol of American ideals at a time when the United States was emerging as a world power, Columbia is dispatched to distant shores with great fanfare by a captivated public. What begins as a brand new endeavor of hope turns drastically wrong as the city soon disappears into the clouds to whereabouts unknown. The player assumes the role of former Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt, sent to the lost city to rescue Elizabeth, a young woman imprisoned there since childhood. He develops a relationship with Elizabeth, augmenting his abilities with hers so the pair may escape from a city that is literally falling from the sky. DeWitt must learn to fight foes in high-speed Sky-Line battles, engage in combat both indoors and amongst the clouds, and harness the power of dozens of new weapons and abilities. "We are excited to expand the world of BioShock, which is one of the industry's most critically acclaimed and beloved franchises," said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K.

  • Deus Ex (2000) by Ion Storm Inc
    A zeitgeist game is reflective of its corresponding social climate. Titles that gain zeitgeist status have in some way challenged the norms of their associated era and revolutionised a pre-established genre by bending traditional conventions. Thus, zeitgeist titles are also timeless. They transcend time, remaining popular and famous due to the societal standpoints they raise and the impact their innovation has on the wider gaming communities and markets. Sci-Fi cyberpunk FPS/RPG Deus Ex (2000) by Ion Storm Inc. is an example of one such title that has built upon its sociological, artistic and technical influences to create a game that resonates innovation through its unique application of emergent gameplay; driven by character interaction and choice. Through analysis of these three fundamental influences in relation to the unique emergent gameplay construction of Deus Ex and correspondingly by comparing the game with its peers gives insight into how this game achieved zeitgeist status. Deus Ex was not the first game to challenge the norm by hybridising FPS/RPG genres. It was inspired by the gameplay of previous FPS/RPG 90’s games Ultima Underworld (1992) and System Shock (1994) by Looking Glass. (Spector, 2000). However, Spector also states he wanted to build upon the foundation laid by these games. He goes on to say his influence for the setting of the game came from his research into millennial conspiracies and his wife’s obsession with the X-Files. (2000). The game world of Deus Ex acts as a basis for the innovative success of its emergent gameplay. Without a lively game world gameplay choices would feel uninspiring.

The developers also coordinated with Shacknews in order to release an in-depth interview regarding the development of the game and its original reception.
