Every so often the original System Shock is given a discount, and I'm like, "Hmmm, maybe I should finally play this classic sci-fi RPG." I haven't yet, and I'd like to partly blame Night Dive's System Shock Remastered for that, as it both pretties up the game and gives it a less daunting interface, while getting Chris Avellone to sprinkle his fancy words all over the story.
That's not too surprising given that the team has just started work on a "vertical slice" for the game, usually a polished slice of its main ingredients created as a sort-of fleshed-out prototype, before work starts on the campaign proper.
There is a bit of good news. Here's a new piece of concept art that looks particularly System Shock-y, by which I mean it shows a spaceship interior, a corpse and lots of blood. (Thanks, Destructoid.)
