Night Dive's video describes the game as System Shock 1 Remastered, but it's clear that this is more remake than remaster. Ken Levine made BioShock, considered by many to be a spiritual successor, while Warren Spector made Deus Ex, which also leans heavily on the System Shock 2 formula. Some of the minds behind the originals went on to create games you've almost certainly heard of. A great game in its own right, it spawned a more successful (and arguably better) sequel, System Shock 2. If you've never played the original, it's a hugely influential atmospheric first-person RPG in a sci-fi horror setting. Night Dive Studios, the developer in charge of the project, released some pre-alpha footage, and it looks great.

Two decades after its original release, System Shock is being remade.
