I can't wait for the new Bioshock game. I was a little disappointed that we didn't get to see SHODAN return, but Infinite does look excellent.

That trailer did look pretty sweet, I might buy this game.

Ok, so I may defend Ninja Theory's decision to remake Dante, but saying the current Dante isn't cool anymore is a load of bull pie. Oh and it's been confirmed, this IS a younger Dante.

Bobby Kotick is starting to really piss me off.

He's basically dissing every single company except for Bungie, since they made a deal with him. He's saying that the other companies have to play catch-up to his. As the CEO, he's forgetting that he's in his position right now because consoles made him successful.

Bobby Kotick's been an arrogant prick for as long as I've been aware of him. He's such a smug piece of s*** that I just wish someone would punch the arrogance out of him, kind of like how I wish the same would happen to Glenn Beck. I keep wishing his BS would end up sinking Activision into a hole, but not such luck; they'd rather eat Activisions s*** to get their fix of whatever franchise they like than vote with their wallets for any real change in how they do things.

It's at the point where if I see something is being published by Activision, I find myself needing to think long and hard about just how much I want said game and lately my general disgust with Activision has been winning out.

I was a little disappointed that we didn't get to see SHODAN return, but Infinite does look excellent.

*sigh* Yeah.

I'm losing hope we're ever going to see another System Shock, much less ever see SHODAN again.

Personally I'd rather another Bioshock be put off to make a new System Shock, but that's just me.

Bioshock Infinite.... What a high HSQ. Definitely a first day buy...or at least first weekend. XD

I love that they're switching it up from the depths of the sea to the steampunk inspired skies; but I honestly miss the series the Bioshocks are based on so much that I'd just rather have another System Shock first.

SHODAN was an awesome villain.

[shadow_Uzumaki]

I've never played System Shock, so eh. Anyone saw the trailer for Asura's Wrath? Hoooollllyyy crappp, it's awesome.

To sum the System Shock series in a nutshell, they were under-appreciated masterpieces that were way ahead of their time but sadly overlooked. The first game was basically overshadowed by DOOM, despite doing everything that game did and a lot more (such as actually having a story; as well as pulling off things like files and such long before games like Resident Evil popularized them). I honestly can't figure out why the second didn't take off; most of the things that had become standard and hailed as great innovations a couple of years ago in FPS games, System Shock 2 had done back in '99. Even spiritual successor Deus Ex did not quite get the attention it deserved.

Short version: Warren Spector is a genius and the games he was behind should have changed gaming.

All that and one of the creepiest baddies in gaming.

If you can look and listen to that without getting creeped out, well... I just don't know.

Me too. I've dreamt of a System Shock where SHODAN makes it to Earth, and hacks everything in sight. Even in this time and age, we have so many things connected to the internet; phones, TVs, PCs of all shapes and sizes. Imagine if SHODAN were to get herself into the world wide web, especially if it was in a future where almost everything and everyone (with implants) was connected. It'd even give Ken Levine some thoughtful material for his story - is it a good thing to be connected to the Internet? Where do we draw the line with technology?

But we can draw comfort from the fact that Ken Levine would love to eventually make a System Shock 3:

I'd love to see a Shock 3. But EA needs to care about that franchise. They certainly didn't when we made Shock 2. But if they care about it, and find a team that cares about it, they could make something great. It's a really wonderful brand.

It's a pity that EA seems to own the System Shock franchise these days, it'd be nice if they could work out a deal that lets Irrational make Shock 3. But then, this is EA we're talking about...

Deus EX was damn good. I hope the new one will be a success, the sequel was disappointing.

Feels good man

[Smiter]

Congratulations, Mike! I heard it was a small group of people, so you're very lucky.

Let us know how the game is.

Oh... That's the main reason I'm reluctant to buy an Xbox.

[Toasty Warrior]

Ironically that's the same problem I'm having with my Xbox 360, it's not working once again, but yet I have an SNES that's worked perfectly for the last 15 years.

The more advanced the hardware, the more stuff it burns up I guess.

@Mik3: Are you signed up on some website or something? I heard about the DeadSpace 2 Beta and I want to play it pretty bad.

[Mik3]

Well, I signed up at their website when the first game came out. Thats all I did really, dind't even know about the Beta tll last night when I got the email.


Well, I already signed the NDA, but Ill tell you guys what I know anyway. The dev team is having us give feedback on a private forum, and they want us to add all of their PSN accounts. Though most of them already maxed out on friends lol.

Anyway the multiplayer only has one board at the this time, some mining place. Two teams, Guards/Space Marines and Necromorphs/Aliens. As a Marine you have everything you have from the first game, same controls even. Killing Necromorphs gives you more ammo and med packs etc. As a Necromorph, theirs three classes with their own strengths and weaknesses. Its an objective game. Marines need to find 3 keys and bring them upstairs one by one to open the door. Necromorphs have to stop them until the time limit runs out. Staying and working together is key for both side. So far, a lot of idiots who think its just a deathmatch and don't guard, or try to secure the key. So right now, if you even use a little teamwork, you're gonna dominate.


And they want us to find bugs and stuff blah blah, but so far, haven't seen anything out of the ordinary.
