Q: Is System Shock still coming to Xbox and PlayStation platforms?Ī: Yes! The game is still very much planned to release on Xbox and PlayStation. There has at times been this misconception that if we don’t show something it’s because it hasn’t been made or that it’s been removed from the game. Q: Why do we not see closer looks at some of the later levels, enemies, weapons, etc?Ī: While we have occasionally shown off screenshots from other parts of the game in our previous Kickstarter updates, we also want to keep a lot of surprises in store, too! We realize it’s a remake of a game that many veteran Shock fans will have played already, but we feel it’s important to provide a fresh experience, both for those people, as well as those who have chosen to make the System Shock remake their first time exploring Citadel station. Things like this will of course see another pass before the game is released. Some examples of this would be weapon collision with the level geometry, or the basic graphics options menu. So while something may seem unfinished or lacking in features, chances are it just hasn’t been a focus for the team at this moment. Keep in mind these all add up, and certain things are going to take far higher priority than others. At the time of writing, it’s in a position where the game can essentially be finished from beginning to end! What we are currently focusing on is polishing up the levels, and incorporating additional art, animations, and creating a ton of secondary assets that were once far lower in priority. Q: What is the current state of the game?Ī: Possibly one of the most common questions we receive is from people wanting to know where the game stands right now in terms of its development. We have compiled a FAQ for you all with the help of community moderator CreamyElephant! Then, there's a backer survey, a bunch of screenshots, and finally, a pretty informative FAQ section that sheds some light on the project's current state. It starts by spotlighting some physical backer rewards that should start shipping later this year.
