system shock 3 teaser - unity keynote (gdc 2019)

Since then the baby of Warren Spector of Wing Commander, System Shock, Thief: The Dark Project, and Deus Ex and Ken Levine of Thief: The Dark Project, System Shock 2, and BioShock have been mostly dormant. It has been a while since the last System Shock game, as back in 1999 EA didn’t split up every game to make the most money possible, they published games.

One successful game launched a couple of ships called BioShock and the complete overhaul of Prey. Of course, since the release of System Shock in 1994, there has been one sequel with a very big following. Just last week we spoke about Fallout, Deus Ex is back in hibernation after Mankind Divided, and Two Point Hospital is a cough and a nudge at Theme Hospital.

Given I’ve only played two out of the four games I’ve mentioned, while I own three of them, and haven’t touched one of them or their successors, it feels weird to still be talking about them in this past decade. One of them I’ve prattled on about for long enough, Theme Hospital, others would hammer in that Deus Ex, Fallout, or System Shock are the pinnacle. When you think of 90’s classic PC games, you’re probably thinking of RPGs or possibly management games.
