i never played 2 or 1, what engine was it based on? was it any good?

SS1 was Doom1 era pseudo 3D.
SS2 uses a modded Dark Engine from Thief.

I have SS1 still in storage. I found SS2 too tough with all those respawning zombies and in the end gave up and cheated my way through.

Fingers crossed.

System Shock 2 remains one of the best and scariest games ever made. If you haven't played it, you're really missing out.

SS2 was phenominal, I hope SS3 comes out and does the series proud.

Totally agree and co-op play was excellent too.

Hell yes! I hope they come through with this. SS2 is still one of the greatest games ever. Giddy up!!

Dude, you need to play SS2. It's a great game. There'a couple of mods you use, one is for higher res (like 12 x 10 on the monitor), the other is a high res pack for the monsters. The graphics are a bit dated, but the game play is so immersive that you won't notice after a few minutes. The sound effects are great too.

Here's a link to a thread over at THG that has links and data for the mods I mentioned.

I hope SS3 does the series justice. Awesome game.

That would be AWESOME. SS2 was AMAZING. Too bad I can't seem to get it to run in XP Would love to play through it again.

Schadenfroh,where have you been hiding ,they were awesome games in their time,I played them both but never did get to finish SS2,got stuck near the end.Think I `ll reload SS2 and give it another shot.

Turns out that the game they announced is called Bioshock, the"spiritual successor" to System Shock 2.

Never knew there was such a glitch. This could save some hairpulling when/if I replay SS2. Thnx for the link.

Holy moses! I have SS2 in a zip file on my desktop. As soon as I have a windows install that can handle SS2 (i.e. POS computer with win98 or something instead of my servers), I'm going to install and play through it again.

If SS3 comes out, that'll be great -but I don't have a system that I could comfortably play it on. Then again, I'm not happy unless I'm playing at 1280x960 with absolutely all of the video goodies turned on and up all the way.
