ain't got nothing but time.

At this point I'm basically expecting SSR to be an edgy fanfic version of System Shock.

[67413122e175eicemann]

Well if it was up to Free Radical level, I'd be happy with that. Though I'd not call Free Radical "Edgy".

Double post:

Last call for order changes email went out. Games about ready to ship by the sound of it.

[67413122e1934voodoo47]

I doubt the release is close - no SS2EE betas yet, and there is no chance of EE having a non-botched release unless it's tested thoroughly, remember, they are bridging KEX and ND mods, that is not an easy task.

I am surprised they have not had the mod contributors involved with the testing of the SS 2 EE.

 

[67413122e1d0evoodoo47]

public/semi public betas have been mentioned, so my guess is that once they exist, we will be able to check them out. which is essential imho, because this will have to be tested to death if they want the first KEX release to play SCP b5 with all the eyecandy attached without everything crashing and burning.

[67413122e1de3icemann]

I meant for SSR, not SS2EE.

[67413122e1eccvoodoo47]

yes, but the current plan is still to ship both at the same time, afaik. so SSR being ready would imply SS2EE being ready, and we know SS2EE is not ready, hence, SSR is not ready. probably.

[67413122e1ffdlgs]

What is the point of shipping SS2EE and SSR at the same time?

[67413122e20d4voodoo47]

I don't see any, but that is what they are currently planning, afaik.

[67413122e21fbicemann]

Not much of interest in todays KS update, but I guess if your into chess you may enjoy it? I said to myself "Why?" but each to their own. Would have preferred a "Wing-o" arcade machine (in-game) myself but aye.

[67413122e22d3lgs]

This takes the cake as the most "fuck you" update so far

It's not quite encyclopedic, is it? To save anyone else having to visit the site (at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1598858095/system-shock/posts/3499646), here is a copy and paste of the whole update:



"Hello hackers,


The lengthy process of locking surveys has come to an end, and with that, starting tomorrow we will be charging cards! You will still be able to update your shipping address until we are ready to ship your physical rewards, we will be sure to post when that happens so do not worry.


Also, here is a little something new on Citadel:"

Followed by the single screenshot of the Chess board, which Icemann re-posted above.

Not sure if typo, or thinks "Wing-o" is actual name.

[67413122e29fcicemann]

If you want to be trchnical its called "Wing O". It's a Wing Commander minigame.

[67413122e2adcZylonBane]

It's "Wing 0" (zero), not "Wing O".

"sooner than you think" releasing the release date or actual release...?
 

[67413122e2fbcZylonBane]

Looks like all the stupid shit (overly dark levels, tiny fonts, oversized compass, charging stations that shoot sparks everywhere, @#$%ing cyberspace texturing, pixelated textures, etc.) is still in there.

Zylon in the twenty years I've been part of this community.... have you ever had anything non sarcasticly positive to say? Ever?

[67413122e322dicemann]

Have you played the demos of the remake? Their super dark. Zylon's spot on.

PS - Good trailer video. Can't wait to play it

here you go, right at the top. and the rest is pure gold, all NDS has to do is pick it off the ground. acknowledged by yourself, btw.
