System Shock follows the Hacker, a capable tech junkie who one day, while trying to hack into the database of the Citadel Space Station, is quickly caught by the shady TriOptimum Corp executive Edward Diego. While I never played the original, especially since it was released years before I was born, playing through the remake provided an experience unlike any other I’ve had in a game despite some very noticeable flaws. Now, in 2023, developer Nightdive Studios had the massive undertaking of remaking the game for newer platforms for both new and returning fans to experience. The game was regarded as a massive critical success, was highly innovative for its genre, and was placed in several Hall of Fame lists. And don't worry, they do sort out the audio levels eventually.System Shock is a cyberpunk-themed, first-person shooter adventure game that was first released back in 1994 for PC.

Project founder Josiah Jack has worked alone on Citadel since July and yesterday announced it to recruit more help. It'll add co-op and competitive multiplayer modes too. It's swapping out sprites for 3D models and bringing fancier lighting through the Quake-based DarkPlaces engine but avoiding modern shine-o-vision. Unlike many fan remakes, Citadel is trying to emulate the original System Shock look down to the pixellated textures it's borrowing from the game. If watching isn't enough, (another) project aiming to remake System Shock has appeared, and it's looking pretty good so far. Firstly, a group of System Shock's creators got together to stream the Looking Glass classic and gas about the dear old gal and their game. Happy birthday, SHODAN! The puckish AI with delusions of godhood turned 20 on Monday (as did System Shock, I guess), and would be flattered by what some are doing to celebrate and glorify her.
