The Twitter announcement follows up on last week’s premature reveal, when an RPG Codex forum member pored through a teaser countdown page. While no further details were released, a brief survey hints at the possibility of virtual reality implementation, which sounds ideal for a sci-fi horror getaway. “ just become essential in creating that feeling that you’re there… Things like being able to pick up items from a distance is something that was really important in Half-Life: Alyx, and it’s something you’ll be able to do in System Shock VR as well.”Ĭurrently, System Shock 2 VR is in the prototype stage, so the VR version will not be released alongside System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition, which is planned to be released alongside Nightdive’s full remake of System Shock.OtherSide Entertainment has confirmed that the System Shock 3 reveal last week is official. The team has been studying other VR games and one title that has set a bar for immersion is Half-Life: Alyx, which Nightdive says is a big inspiration. Our Notifications: "Is System Shock 2 EE still a thing?" “When you’re in VR, you’re the one actually swinging the weapons, you’re reloading yourself, you’re not just hitting a button and having the character reload the gun automatically.” Nightdive cites the immersive potential of VR as one of the main reasons for pursuing this dedicated mode for System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition. Nightdive is working with an outline on how to create a “really remarkable, built from the ground up VR experience.” Kick was also clear that VR isn’t just a tacked-on extra, but a fully-fleshed out feature.
So co-op can be played in VR in cross-platform, where one player can be in VR and another can play on a standard PC. Kick says System Shock 2 Enhanced Edition will be fully playable in VR along with the game’s multiplayer mode.
With this blueprint, Nightdive found that there was a solid enough foundation in System Shock 2 to begin fleshing out a full VR version.
