Never played SystemShock/2, but this trailer has me spooging all over this game.

I understand its the "Spiritual" successor to SS2?

It looks awsome. The atmosphere is incredible!

    If you want to play Bioshock early, buy system shock 2 from a bargin bin. Really. It's one of the finest games on the market today. Half-Life, Deus Ex and System Shock 2.

    Seconding "buy System Shock 2". It's one of my favourite games, and there's not a lot more fun than dodging zombified humans and security systems monitored by a starship's insane, vocal computer.

    SS2 is awesome... too bad people had to make model expansion packs. With more detail comes less room for your imagination to scare yourself, which was the best part. Hell, I never managed to make it past the bit with the spiders and the HVAC toxin.

    Clearly it looks more morally compromising than even Defcon. Killing little girls out of greed for upgrades... that's worse than the horribly realistic combat system. Frightening.

    You don't have to kill the little girls. That's the difference between this and DEFCON. If you want to win in DEFCON, you gotta kill millions. If you want to survive in this, there are many ways you could go about it. You have moral choices, not moral imperatives.

    I'll be buying it, and I'll be killing the little girls as well.

    Indeed, as I understood the whole upgrade system is supposed to be optional in the first place.

    These "people" are no longer human, and the upgrade system would basically make you one of them.

    It looks awsome, and the design ideal makes it all the more awe inspiring of a game. They're on the record as saying they want to make a game where a walkthrough is useless. Where the players' choices affect the game in a huge number of ways.

    They're supposedly making the place one big ecology, with ways to affect that very base nature of the enemies or utilise it to your benifit.

    If they accomplish even half of that, it'll be game of the year material.

    This is one of the few games that is being warranted as "omg must get." I seriously enjoyed SSII...and if BS holds out true, it'll be just as great. That intro of the trailer was....wow.

    (Morbid...awesome!)

    This game looks really sweet.

    Hopefully they can make those moral choices clear to the player...

    I'm sure I'll be a murdering ******* though... Bring it on big daddies! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" />

    Well, there's the moral consequences: Cute little girl slain for your own benifit...
    Then there's the in game consequences: Hulking smash beast accompanaying cute little corpse-harvester to prevent them from being kill isn't going to take being out of a job lightly.

    I can't wait.
    System shock 2 was possibly the most intense and immersive game I've ever played. Some of the gameplay wasn't all that great I didn't think. Security cameras were more annoying than interesting, and some of the combat was kinda uninspired, but man oh man, did it have an atmosphere.

    I think perhaps more than any other game system shock 2 convinced me that I was in a real place, and also that my enemies were conscious and had real motives. I don't think I'm ever going to forget The Many and Shodan. They are by far the most chilling and compelling adversaries in a game EVER.

    meh, when did they switch to the Xbox360 as the main platform? :/
    i hope they don't screw up the PC version ...

    First I'd heard of the game, it was going to be X360 first, then a few months later the PC version would be out.

    This game is like wow, half-life 2, you've had your glory its time for the big boys to step in!

    lol also on a random note: Scary games like these always tend to keep pushing the psychological mind to the limit, killing little girls, lol how much can you take before its too much!

    I'm really wondering what is the next stage of pushing the limits of the mind, I mean it will have to be something way more terrifying then thinking...do I smash the living essence out of this little girl to...

    I'm thinking it will be something very gorey with internal organs and what not, cut out your eye or let the infection kill you and so forth.

    hoho game developers are disturbed.

    Developer: Hey Jimmy lets make a game where you have to smash a little girls face with a wrench!

    I don't know how many times I'm going to have to repeat this, but you don't have to kill any freaking little girls. You can become their protectors, if you want. The game is only as distrubing as you make it.

    What would be interesting, is a game like Bioshock, and Eternal Darkness combined.

    That'll be one awesome mind-messing game.

    Edit: Again, the girls look evil, nothing cute. I wouldn't have a problem killing them honestly.

    You can, just kill the little girl.

    But that will be a lose/lose situation, since you don't want to kill the girl, since it's disturbing. It's also disturbing that she is drinking from a corpse.

    The only win situation is to not play the game.

    What's so disturbing about killing a virtual girl? I mean, really. In my gaming career, I've killed nearly as many men, creatures, and sentient beings than both World Wars combined. What are a couple hundred little girls going to do to that?
