L-look at you, hacker. A pathetic creature of meat and bone. Panting and sweating as you search for your wallet. How fast can you purchase a perfect, immortal game?




<span class="bold">System Shock</span>, the breakthrough FPS/RPG hybrid - one of the most influential video games ever produced - is back and enhanced, premiering DRM-free on GOG.com. Get 20% off the title, or 40% off if you already own System Shock 2.


On release, System Shock forever changed the face of action gaming - it ushered an era of storytelling, choices, and RPG elements unlike ever before - directly influencing all-time classics like Deus Ex and Bioshock.
Today, the legend returns in better shape than ever.

System Shock: Enhanced Edition now comes with official support for resolutions up to 1024x768 (compared to the original 640x480), and a native 854x480 widescreen mode. Gameplay is streamlined with a toggleable mouselook mode, including more intuitive inventory and item management. Combined with assorted bug-fixes and remappable controls, System Shock is now truly enhanced. Still, some gaming experiences are truly worth preserving, so you can also return to the authentic 90's gameplay with System Shock: Classic - ready for modern systems, completely unaltered in all other aspects, and available in both the CD and Floppy editions!



See the System Shock Enhanced Edition trailer:

Nice surprise - the game still looks alright after 20 years! Wow!
Yes, finally we shock the system again :)
Thanks GOG.com
Great news, but...

It's too bad that there isn't a Linux version, again. System Shock 2 is still missing the Linux version that is part of Steam's offer.


Edit: Ok. I've read some things about the way the enhanced version works. It seems to be an improved version of the system shock loader. Which means it will only work on Window. But we are still missing the Linux version of System Shock 2!

L-l-look at you GOG!!!! A pathetic creatures of absolutely awesome and surprising releases!!!

Thank you all involved!!!!!!!!! (GOG, Night Dive, Looking Glass...)
Didn't expect System Shock this soon on GOG. Good job!

- Higher resolution support: up to 1024x768, and 854x480 widescreen mode.
- Mouselook support added.
- Remappable keys with three profiles to choose from: original controls, custom controls, and lefthanded controls.
- Some original game bugs fixed.
Lol, did Night Dive really just repackage System Shock Portable as "System Shock Enhanced Edition", just after they shut down the SSP project?

JudasIscariot: The Enhanced Edition gets rid of some of the UI issues :) It's really well done :)
Oh cool then.
Plus the original is available too.
Btw I played it at 320x200 lol.

blotunga: I wonder why I never played this game. I might pick it up though I'm not sure if I'd enjoy it. Somehow I don't like old-school shooters anymore.
That would work fine, because it isn't a shooter. It's basically Ultima Underworld in space.
I was being silly people!!!! :P

On a serious note, as someone who has never played #1 should I go vanilla or dive into the Enhanced Version?

I just hope what the folks in here say is true: if I found #2 disappointing (which I did) then #1 should be amazing because it is all around a much better game.

Try vanilla for a bit but RTFM, please :)
That's a surprise. Thanks a lot GOG!

Technically they just told the guy not to host the full game, it's his fault he didn't make SSP into a patch as it should have been in the first place.

If you were to offer just a patch that installed those mods, I am sure that we could figure out a way to point back to you once System Shock is released.
