In just 7 short years, and 6 years after the estimated delivery date, the
Nightdive remake/reboot of System Shock has, according to NDS, "gone
gold."

It looks like we will get a game after all.

I will let y'all know if it's any good.

Thanks Zags!

I will probably give in and buy it any way, although I got so sick of
the monkey's and spiders in the first one :-)

Thank you for this post.

I think System Shock 2 was the last game I paid full price for. I may
buy this one if the reviews are good.

Monkeys and spiders were in System Shock 2.

As I recall, I also put some money into the kickstarter of this
remake. Not enough to get access to the preview apparently.

Their timing is very nice for me, considering my fairly recent replay of
System Shock 2. I never played the original System Shock much so mostly
it'll be a first playthrough.

Me too, will be fun to see it in action, I've avoided most of the media
and demo

I hope they will release another free sampler of the final build. :)

Ooh, this is the original game that I couldn't get into during its release. Maybe I will like this one?

Yes just to be clear, the game being released on May 30th is a remake
of the original. If PW is remembering monkeys and spiders then he is
thinking of System Shock 2.
