'System Shock' Remake Might Come To Switch

system shock.png

It was known that the kickstarted System Shock remake would be releasing on PC, Mac, Linux, Xbox One, and PS4. However in their most recent Kickstarter update Nightdive Studios, the developers behind the remake, hinted that the game might land on the popular Nintendo Switch console.

When asked during a Q&A session with the Discord community if the game will still be coming to Linux, Mac, PS4, and XBOX One, the developers replied by saying "Absolutely. Nightdive is now an authorized developer for both PlayStation and Xbox and with the refocus on style and scope we will also be able to port the game to another very popular platform".

And what other very popular platform do we know of that has not already been listed?

There has been some progress since the announcement of the hiatus back in February, with the release postponed to an unknown date. Hopefully this gives the developers enough time for a Switch port.

Would you like to see System Shock on the Switch?

As much as I love the first System Shock, please port the second game too! System Shock 2 is by far the most well known of the series and set the standard the games like Bioshock progressed from and it needs more love!

I love the fact the game is pretty much in development hell and then they come out and say it may get a switch port. They really should focus on getting the game finished before even thinking about porting it to the Switch.

Android.

I know it's Linux-based but I doubt that's what the "Linux" on that list means.

Everyone who has a switch wants it on the switch.

Especially the priveledged ones who wants all games on the switch and dont knew their console has its limitations.

I'm just tired of people bashing the Switch. We already know its limitations. How the hell can this thing run like a Ps4 Pro when it is sized like that. It is already obvious from the start. I love the Switch as much as I love the PS4 and that joke is getting old for me. Either you keep your Switch or sell it and build a PC or get a PS4/Xbox.

Im not bashing the switch mate. Im bashing the disrespectful switch owners who thinks the switch is the almighty device and wants all the games to run in their platform and they end up bashing other platforms

oh, sorry for the misunderstanding. Yeah, I got the Switch and I love it but i also love my PS4.. and I even wanted to get an XBox just because. I am also fully aware what the Switch can and cannot do. I just wish we could just all be gamers and enjoy games.

The whole console wars idea is plain childish. Every system has its weakness and strength that the other platforms offers.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
