The Announced System Shock 2 Remaster will be free for select players

I didn't think anyone over the age of 12 actually liked the Rebirth "Midwives Gone Wild".

I wish we had physics...

Also, is it just me or do the enemies seem more nimble in the trailer -- the hybrids at 1:22, for example.

They always do that.

Also, am I the only one wondering what they'll do about that legendary ending ? xD
I'm pretty sure they will be remaking/upscaling all the ingame videos, but since we only got this ending through sheer luck (or lack thereof depending on who you ask), will they change it or leave it untouched (except for the video quality) ?
Since it's a remaster and not exactly a remake I'm guessing they won't touch it, and of all the videos this one will most probably be an upscale because...how on earth are you supposed to remake such a cutscene ? haha
But still I'm quite curious.

[voodoo47]

99% sure it's been mentioned on discord that the ending will not be changed. videos have been redone, not just upscaled.

how on earth are you supposed to remake such a cutscene ? haha

The same way they made it the first time, again.

haha

So if I bought the SS1 Remake ahead of release through Fanatical, and then redeemed the key via Steam, does that qualify for a free version of the SS2 Remaster? Might have to do some research that one.

[Valet2]

The questionable of a cheap game being free for some people is bothering me a lot.

It costs just a few dollars. Don't you people have a job? Why all that hate and flame around it not being free for everyone? What the hell is wrong with all of them?

FWIW, I did not like the Rebirth models/skins either. I like the remaster. I hope the change of engine doesn't affect the gameplay.

Randomly check this forum again and there is some news. Nice. I like the models and everything looks "clean" I guess. I am wondering, though, why they left the body of the level with its muscle/organs so edgy. I get that they want to stay true to the original but maybe a little bit more organic shapes? Anyhow, I am looking forward to it.

There's two brief clips from BotM in the reveal video, one in the beginning and another in the middle. The level geometry is still a little blocky but the stuff within it looks smoother and more detailed. I've never really liked the second half of the BotM, from the giant teeth to the brain. But it's a remaster not a remake, so it is what it is.
