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:

Reset the system in <span class="bold">System Shock</span> - Enhanced Edition and Classic available in a single package, with a 40% discount for all System Shock 2 owners on GOG.com - and 20% off for everyone else. The discounted offer will last until Tuesday, September 29, 6:59 AM GMT.

BreOl72: The logs are text and audio...regarding anything else...I belive you don't have a visual warning, if you get attacked from behind? It's all audio? (not quite sure about that, so take it with a grain of salt)
Ah ops, right, nearby enemy sounds didn't have text.
When you were damaged, however, horizontal red bars appeared on the screen.
Not the best visual warning, though..

Grargar: No, System Shock Portable uses DOSBox to run, while the enhanced version runs natively. More details regarding the GOG version can be found here.
Yeah, community patches. Thought so. Thanks for the info.

Zeraan: Are the logs audio only, or are there texts as well that I can read? Anything else that isn't deaf friendly?

EDIT: I just checked...if you are attacked from behind, it shows only on your "Health-bar"...and via sound, ofc.

Sorry! :(
In the English version you get an audible sound whenever you get attacked regardless of direction. Not sure how this works in the French & German versions since there is no speech when reading the audio logs :)

Firebrand9: And where does this patch come from? Who did it? Is it just the System Shock Portable / Mouselook patch?

JudasIscariot: What we have on offer is from Night Dive so you might want to ask them :)
God knows why they actually care. You'd think for this ridiculous price that they would not complain. By the way, it is too damn expensive!!! :P

darthspudius: Great game comes out, everyone complains. Nice to see nothing ever changes. :P
I have just one, but it's pretty minor compared to the usual laundry list in the usual release thread. Yep, the blase facebook announcement...

Yeah...but the user was asking, whether it would be deaf-friendly...so, if you can't hear, all the audible sounds in the world won't help you.

;o)
EDIT: with "user" I mean the guy from post 301.

Just that it came early, before the release. I knew about today's release before leaving work last night. Surprises are nice, GOG surprises are even better. Again, a pretty minor complaint. The game is on my shelf. :)

He can’t fool us, he's about as trustworthy as David Cameron in a butcher shop.
