'I just didn't think to myself at the time, 'Well, if there's a pandemic and civil unrest and ecological disasters in 2020, we'll be perfectly positioned.'

The team is helmed by Warren Spector, the decorated game maker who was involved with the original System Shock. Nonetheless, OtherSide said it would roll on with development and the game was roughly half-done. It also suffered from the closure of Stabreeze earlier in the year, as the studio had been a collaborator.

It's encouraging to see System Shock 3 looking like an actual real game after spending more than four years in development without much visible progress. We're definitely not in the good books, are we?

It's quite compelling hearing an AI objectively appraise humankind and the effect it has had on the world. Dark, scary, grotesque - it's not a million miles from Dead Space, which is a good thing.īehind all the bad stuff is, of course, the infamous AI Shodan, the omnipresent, ever-threatening voice of evil - or, perhaps, reason.

It's the longest look at the game we've had so far, and it gives a good sense of the oppressive atmosphere developer OtherSide is going for. A new pre-alpha gameplay trailer for System Shock 3 has been released and it looks, well, not bad, which is nice.
