We're an independent and non-profit fan-site. Find out more about us here.
I'd like to point out that we are not demanding a certain version of the game, but analyze and explain why certain deviations might not be such a good idea. these is a difference between a simple opinion and a systematic assessment.and while the people here indeed are just random people on the internet, some have decades of Shock experience under their belts - if they say watch out, there is good chance it's for a reason.

The guy leading Nightdive also has 22 years of experience with System Shock - and he also has his own opinion.
He also has a profit motive, which is how we ended up with Bioshock.
You're really quite exceptionally dim, aren't you.
I have 22 years of System Shock experience - and I disagree, so what does that mean?Nothing at all - it just means I have another opinion.The guy leading Nightdive also has 22 years of experience with System Shock - and he also has his own opinion.There's no one here who can claim to have more authority than that - so why not stop pretending it's a question of experience or seniority. We just have different opinions about what would make a great new System Shock - and that's it.
On my end, I'm 100% speaking opinion only. On opinion on this reboot, my opinion is no more and no less valid than your own and I've said as such in my earlier replies.Speaking for myself only here but I've often raised similar objections on other games (ie Fallout 4 earlier) on other forums + this one on games like the Syndicate reboot (a name-make 100% imo since it bears no similarities to the earlier games in the series), Wing Commander Arena etc. Change can be good (ie Fallout 3's move to first person view over top down isometric, GTA 3's move to a 3rd person perspective over the earlier top down games) and sometimes not so much (ie all the 3D attempts at Castlevania games, Metroid changing to FPS view compared to the 2D side view of earlier games). All opinion of course.End of the day for me, I have an opinion I speak it. You have yours, speak yours. We disagree? Welcome to the internet. Debate / don't agree / agree to disagree. Whatever. We shouldn't have to devolve into name calling however. You want to debate me on a game I've played or watched videos of, feel free. I don't mind at all. I might take a bit to reply and like to edit my posts when I think of more to say, but we all have our quirks.On the guy who runs Night Dive. I personally think the guys who made System Shock 1 know it better. But that's just my opinion. I'm not claiming it as fact. Just an opinion. You don't agree? No worries, that's your opinion.My opinion: Many people these days confuse a debate with an argument. I love a good debate, but many take it as an argument. It's annoying but that's life. Who's right? No'one. Who's wrong? No'one. It's all opinion.So for me, I LOVE System Shock. Played the first game around 95 I think (CD version). LOVED IT. Loved how different it was to anything else out there. System Shock 2 was announced many years later. Played the demo and loved what I saw. Played the full version a bit later and loved that. Joined my first forum (TTLG) not longer after due to my love of System Shock universe and have been an avid member of the community ever since.If I love a game series/universe I get passionately into it. That's me. Does that make me better than anyone? Hell no. Does not mean for a second that I wont debate you on it though :p.And that's my 5 cents.
Yeah, all games will be Bioshock because developers need to be paid. Well, except - of course - the games you like, because no profit was involved with those. Those were all made by pure artists that didn't need funding or wages.That makes "Zylon" sense, I'm sure.
You're forgetting one interesting detail, Night Dive is not making this game with their own money, people are funding development in this case, not Night Dive, 2K, EA or Bethesda. People have all rights to demand System Shock, not Bioshock game or something else, especially because they're backing this Kickstarter. For Bioshock there is always 2K which own this franchise.This is also why I love MN9. People wanted Rockman successor, but in the end they received absolute garbage which is worse than most of Rockman-inspired indie games right now. The most hilarious thing is that people themselves funded its development, not Capcom or someone else.
And they actually promised us System Shock game, not Bioshock. Not only that, they promised to listen to the people, especially on this forum, you can find their topics here actually.So, guess you just proved my point.
