They've killed my men... and now they've killed me... I'm holding my guts inside of me with both hands. This is bigger than my little life, the lives of my men, and the lives of the people I was forced to kill. Resist! Humanity demands it! Resist!

There we go, I loved system shock back in the day, spent ages combing over the demo and loved having a full copy, it sadly got damaged a few years ago though and would love this as a replacement.

da_gaymer wrote on 07/10/2013 at 12:00am

Was really surprised when this was re-released on Steam. In a positive way, of course, since this is a genuine classic; one of the best games of all time.
Thanks a lot for the chance!

Well, I thought it was an eternal joke, much like Duke Nukem Forever never coming out. Proven wrong yet again, GoG.com has announced through Rock Paper Shotgun and a teaser on their website that System Shock 2 will get a full "digital collector's edition" release. This means a full soundtrack, design docs, an Interview with Ken Levine, among other goodies.

Being one of my Top 5 PC games of all times, I really have to advertise this whole deal. System Shock 2 is a bit like Bioshock, but with much more of a PC slant. This means stats you must level up, an inventory system, and intense exploration of each level. Not only a shooter, but more of a space survival horror game,... Read All

I have yet to play this game, so this is definitely welcome news.

Wow, I will be checking it out when it comes out for sure. Didn't really see this one coming, welcomed news.

Thanks for the heads up. Take my money, GoG!

This is indeed good news. I'm excited.

Will_Owens Post Author wrote on 02/14/2013 at 12:58am

This is the best press release they've had ever, I think. They usually botch their huge announcements and they just let this one out quickly and quietly. Works much better than what they've done in the past.

Will_Owens Post Author wrote on 02/14/2013 at 11:52am

Well, it's out now if any of you have a desire to be a cool person.

scrypt Supporter wrote on 02/14/2013 at 04:41pm

Done! I actually do feel a little more cool now...
