- System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition was created with the goal of reverse engineering the original code to port SS2 to the KEX Engine and made available on next-generation consoles for the first time.
Nightdive Studios has also partnered with the systemshock.org community to integrate all the best mods and updates.
All cinematics, textures, characters and weapon models have been updated, and the Co-Op Multiplayer has been overhauled to create a seamless experience.

If there is any franchise that needs to be revived is this one. The story, the setting, the atmosphere - everything was amazing. This game will always hold a special place in my heart.
Well, it's not exactly dead. Its DNA flows through the likes of bioshock, prey, deus ex but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't pay big bucks for a system shock 3
There is a third game supposedly being made. The not so good news though is that it’s being made by Tensent…
@@darkhoshinonz I feel like that one is practically cancelled though. Warren Spector originally served as the director for it only to quit and work on a completely different IP. Then Otherside basically admitted to several lay offs during covid, and we've heard virtually no further news about it for the past year or two that I'm aware of. It's possible that they might still be developing it, but at this point I honestly think it's somewhat unlikely
@@darkhoshinonz Arkane would've been the logical pick.
True. SS2 remake would be my dream come true. Also Jagged Alliance 2 and Incubation. :D
I really hope if the System Shock remake is successful you do one for System Shock 2 as well!!
System Shock 2 with modern graphics would be wild to see
If this port plays/looks good enough, I'd rather they make System Shock 3.
@@VrilWaffen Why not both? Night Dive does have the capacity to do multiple projects at once. They can remake System Shock 2 with one team while simultaneously remastering Thief with another one.
@@francis6775 With Otherside Entertainment gone and their System Shock 3 project dead as a result, it probably is best for Night Dive to take over and finish where they left off whenever they eventually get to it.
@@VrilWaffen thats been done theif 2012 or so good game as well
Having the game finally come to consoles is nuts. You console folks are in for a treat!
Still hoping that you'll bring Deus Ex 1 to modern consoles one day though.
That actually might be possible now
Didn’t the creator of bio shock work on this game?
@@somebodyelseathome Yes, Ken Levine was involved in the development of System Shock 2.
@@NoExplosionsMcgee thank u for the answer
@@somebodyelseathome 😉
Paused everything when I saw the notification
Love the new character models ! Improved in polygons , yet the original art style is well retained. Well done ! Hope the textures will recieve the same treatment.
There are fan projects that have remade textures and many more models, seems like Nightdive forgot to install them..
...especially weapons models are much better than seen here in video!
@HWilson why would you expect anything other than a dogshit opinion by someone called "supremacistdawn"
@HWilson I don't hate them, but they feel like they would feel more natural in a singleplayer mod that takes place in a different setting of SS2's world, just for variety's sake.
@HWilson for sure. I wouldn't mind if they were in a mod campaign where SHODAN returns and "reuses modified annalids" that serve her in this version of the story (which I think is a thing). Some of the models while really awesome (Rumbler, Assassin), feel sort of like seperate variant of that enemy rather than a higher fidelity version of that design. Could also work for stuff like the controversial HD midwife with the exposed boobs, as their use in this case would probably be different.
This game has a very special place in my heart.
same here.
It is amazing that it's still so much fun and that it is still so immersive and addicting even after I have played it so many times. That the visuals are so dated doesn't even matter for some reason.
With how spectacular this remake was, I am foaming at the mouth for a system shock 2 remake by Nightdive, holy shit you guys blew it out of the park with SS1 Remake. It's as beautifully crafted as Capcoms REmakes. You guys deserve an award for how well you did on this.
this isn’t a remake but a remaster of the original which is still awesome
@@jess648 which means it's exactly the same.
@@yeoldefoxeh254 How do you mean? It's not going to be anything like the remake of System Shock (which was built from the ground up). It's a remaster of the original System Shock 2; which means that it's the same game, using the same source code, just with upscaled textures.
Bring on the Thief Trilogy!!!
SS2 is one of the most memorable and terrifying games I've ever played. If you ever do a full remake I will definitely get it. Really enjoying the SS1 remake right now.
I like how player runs at maintenance robot like a raging bull wielding just a pistol
I mean, if that pistol has AP rounds then it makes sense
I do love the old System Shock 2. Used to be a yearly ritual for a friend and I to blitz through it in a single session growing up. Sadly it doesn't look like the graphics were improved over the community high res patch. Here's hoping the networking is way more stable and the psi powers are actually with using. If mod support was added, even better.
You said what I said. I'm disappointed by this. I don't see any reason to get it if you already have a modded SS2 on PC.
I feel like as it's been reverse engineered and ported to a new engine, more people can experience the game today on modern consoles and computers without having to use mods to make it look and play better. Not to mention the possibility of a VR mode that might come out.
these models are way better than the community ones and we'll have vr support so it ain't all bad.
Lets hope that the success of the SShock remake would put this idea back into the playbook for SShock2 enhanced. Or better yet, bring out SShock 3!!!
Psi powers were useful! I once played through the entire game only using wrench and psi for attack (never fired a gun once) and only hacked using the psi hack ability. Was a lot of fun :D
Those models in the Dark Engine are insane.
You should check out WUP - Weapon Upgrade Project mod for the original. Which adds hands combined with the higher poly weapon models. This remaster also makes use of already existing fanmade mods such as Mercurius' Tacticool Weapon Replacements for the weapons. Only the enemy and NPC models are the coolest parts of this remaster.
@@arhum1224 oh so we finally get to see a left hand then?
KEX Engine
@@arhum1224Plus that it comes to modern consoles…
First time playing it, I dumped all my ammo into a ghost. 10/10, would play again
Finally awesome to see an official look at SS2:EE after all this time.
I still have one question though, how is the VR mode for SS2:EE coming along? I'm super curious how Night Dive will pull that off.
Sadly, i think we've not heard anything about that yet. And judging by the state of the VR market currently, we should prepare for cancelled plans. Luckily, there's still VorpX or Reshade+Depth3D.
@@marcdwonn9772 State of the VR market? During pandemic the quest2 sold more units than playstation. And after commercial success of resident evil 4 remake on quest, SS2 would nicelly fit having a native quest2/3 port.
@@networkgeekstuff9090 i think he meant the pc vr gaming market, its pretty underwhelming that market, stand alone vr tho.
This is so cool, I can't wait! Nightdive has become one of my favorite studios.
One of my all time favorites of 25 years PC gaming. Can't wait for this remaster, better yet with a dedicated VR mode!
Nightdive Studios I love you !
I always wanted to play System Shock 2 because I heard a lot of good things about it. Since it is finally coming to the consoles I am going to play this masterpiece.
dont play it on console and gamepad shit pls :)
@@davideczek Well I'm aware that gamepad aim sucks but the stick movement is better than wsad movement.
Play the remake of the original one first.
@@liamdell6319 I was thinking about that thanks.👍
Holy moly.
I can't wait to replay the game!
PROPERLY REMASTERED CUTSCENES LETS GOOOOOO
im also SO happy about the updated models still, such a great vanilla feel with a nice upgrade
though i do hope the font used in the opening cutscene is changed to the original... i understand if licensing issues come up, but i need that pure unadulterated Eurostile feel!
I was very young when it was released and played System Shock 2 and DeusEx after Bioshock series/DeusEx HR. Therefor it's not nostalgia, it's just peak gaming. SS2 is like living in Aliens the movie, but with a cyberpunk twist. It's amazing. Nothing but maybe Silent Hill 2 can hold a candle to its atmosphere. All the side stories, logs, feeling alone... SS2 was and still is THE game.
One of the most innovative things they did (which terribly frustrated a friend of mine) was that enemies would not spawn in the same place whenever you'd reload a save game. My friend was used to run into rooms and see where enemies where and on dying just reloading a save game and then have the pre-knowledge of where enemies would be in other games. Not so much in System Shock 2! Another thing they did was also have a limited set of resources available, so you'd really have to be careful with ammo, lock picks, upgrade points and repair kits as you couldn't apply them with impunity. I remember having to defeat three tech ninjas, which required armor penetrating rounds and I only had four of those. That was some tense game play I can tell you. Do it with a single round per ninja or back to the reload screen for another go. Little margin for error!
Nostalgia is not a judgement of a thing, but the feeling you get from a memory
@@YouHaventSeenMeRight I don't know if there was another game pre-dating SS2 that might have used the mechanic first. But don't forget having the ability to peek around corners while you were sneaking so you didn't just step out in front of a security camera fully exposed. I was never the best a games and still aren't. But I loved SS2 because it made you take your time and use your head instead of rushing into a unknown room willy-nilly. When you finally made it into a new unexplored sector you either took the utmost caution to get around or you died and had to reload. SS2 made you take your time and think while searching every nook & cranny. You also had to back-track to previously explored sectors if you put in the extra effort to research the body parts of previous killed enemies to find their weaknesses. Because not all of the chemicals were in one location. :)
Finally! Been holding off my replay of SS2 forever to play the enhanced version!
I hope they make a System Shock 2 Remake version too (with the graphical/technical improvements of the remake of the first game), I would pay for it, amazing job Nightdive thanks!
This looks fantastic. I really really like what you guys did with the enhanced models for Quake, this looks like you're taking a similar approach. I wish we could somehow get whomever owns Thief and Deus Ex now to let you guys remaster those with similar care.
For Deus Ex we (luckily) already have Revision. For me the topic is closed, Revision is the de facto standard for Deus Ex (the original game).
Revision is...I don't want to say terrible, but the level design is horrid.
@@jasonmoyer A pity that you don't like it. It's excellent IMO, especially the lighting. Can't wait to replay it.
THIS
@@marcdwonn9772 GMDX is much better at preserving the feel of DE, its my pick for playthroughs.
This game deserves a remake too
If System Shock 1 Remake is successful enough then they will no doubt head over towards remaking System Shock 2 as well.
this game needs a dead space quality remake
I would love to see bump mapping and dynamic lighting with System Shock 2 Enhanced Edition VR.
Absolutely. Especially evident with those hacking missions in SS1, VR integration with these games was pretty much expected format in the first place.
If those are even supported by the Kex Engine iteration of SS2, you'll have to wait for mods for it as graphical enhancements are quire minimal this time. At most you're getting some fancy post process effects as seen in the trailer and screenshots.
You won't see it. This is like SS1 Enhanced. Just QOL improvements.
Any word on VR support? I'd heard that was maybe gonna be a thing, and I'd absolutely love it.
It will be a thing.
@@arhum1224 Only on PC or are there any plans for PSVR2? I have an Oculus Quest 2 and PSVR1 but man, this is one of the few games out there that can scare me. In VR? Oh god.
@@theunbearablejuan Hopefully on PSVR 2. That's the headset I'm looking to upgrade to, and this would be incredible on it!
@@GreyMatterShades I know this sounds weird, but please don't. As far as VR goes, the idea of making HARDWARE exclusive to consoles sucks. Its bad enough we have exclusives games.
@@mrjtfang2 I mean there has always been hardware exclusive to specific platforms, pure software exclusives are really the more drastic measure here. I hope SS2:EE will support as many VR headsets as possible. Could see this even being possible on Quest.
NightDive should consider packaging an editor with some of these games. System Shock 2 and Quake would benefit from that a lot.
I JUST downloaded System Shock Demo today to finally try it out and I was like: I wish now that they are "done" with System Shock 1, they will do their magic with System Shock 2 at some point. And my wish came true! SOOOO excited!!
I used to be so obsessed with this game as a kid that I could quote this entire intro word for word. I still can, mostly. It was such a primary part of my introduction to video games, and atmospheric horror games especially. I cannot wait to see it enhanced, assuming it is done faithfully to the original :)
Looks good. Another voice for VR.
+1
Looks more like a modpack to be honest, I was expecting the new weapon models to have hands and new animations. It also apparently uses a set of fan mods so you can already have half the Enhanced Edition experience by downloading those. Looking forward to more footage.
It's on a new engine, so no it's not "just a mod pack". They ported it to a new engine and pack in mods that you can toggle on or off if you want. If they bring it to consoles then it will have native controller support as well. It's a huge undertaking to reverse engineer source code.
@@EmergencyChannel Yes it's running on the Kex Engine shell otherwise it wouldn't be possible to port to consoles easily + adding a seamless co-op system. What I meant is that the enhancements developed in-house other than obvious engine change are quite minimal while most of the heavy lifting are actually done by mods (which aren't enabled in the trailer; you can check PC Gamer article's screenshots to compare)
These mods are:
Vurt's Space Textures, Flora, Hi-res Water, Organics/Goo
ACC's Four Hundred (400) Hi-res Terrain Textures
Eldron's Psi Amp
Olfred's Fixed Objects
Grosnus' Hi-Res Spinning Marine/Navy/OSA logos
SCP
SHTUP
ZylonBane's New Quest Notifier
Vaxquis Vintage Song Remake v1.0 Mod
Mercurius' Tacticool Weapon Replacements
So yeah more than 50% of enhancement mod covered by freely available community mods. The Nightdive side of the enhancements are only:
New NPC/Enemy models, some weapon models (mods are also used for those)
Remade FMVs (I'm curious if they will change the ending)
UI/Menus probably updated
New co-op, VR.
While this is a nitpick on my part, I'm not sure if i should be happy that they are very likely going to charge full price for existing owners of SS2 for something that feels like a 50/50 job. Whereas their Quake, Turok, Doom 64, and Powerslave remasters have been excellent efforts top to bottom. But they're slowly starting to falter with shoddy remasters like Blade Runner, Blood Fresh Supply (Which was unfinished thanks to Atari).
@@arhum1224 notice you haven't brought up a single reason this won't be good aside from 'mods exist' which, duh, no shit. it's about ease of access and having a higher fidelity version of the game that people can purchase that doesn't need a trillion mods on top of it.
You do get the game for free if you purchase system shock remake so I’m not complaining
Take all the time you need to perfect this! I really hope that the cut content such as the original intentions for the final section of the game can be created and added in.
Stephen Russell nails it again. Almost hard to tell it's him who voiced that initial narrative!
I want to be honest: the first Look didn't blow my mind. Everything I've seen, you can get with a little work with Mods. -- BUT -- I appreciate the work that has gone into this Project and i will buy this Version as well. First: Because you can still play SS2 even after 20 years and the Athmo still captivates me like on the first time and Second: you simply need the support so that you can continue develop Games for a long Time and then there is still enough Room for Improvement for that SS2 Remake I expected.. and that I'm sure to love it as much as the Original.
I cannot WAIT for this to drop! SS2 was the first of Nightdive's games I ever played (which was also my first time playing the game ever) and I was blown away by how smooth and flawlessly it ran for me.
Originally developed ny looking glas
@@prim4147 Let's get it right. Jointly developed by Irrational Games and LGS. Still have my big box from when it was first released.
@@prim4147 I'm aware, but I mentioned Nightdive since they ported it over to Steam :p
As some one who grew up with SS2 being one of my first games as a child, playing coop with my father, this brought a tear of joy to my eye, its looking so wonderful and I want to thank the team at Nightdive for their hard work in keeping this gem of gaming, and core piece of my upbringing alive.
As long as the co-op mode isn't unstable like the mod that was tacked on the digital releases of SS2 I'm all for it.
Mod? that was released in a patch for the original game which came out on CD.
It was unstable as hell though.
I’m playing through your remake of System Shock 1 and you guys absolutely knocked it out of the park. Thank god for people like Nightdive.
This looks great. I would love to see Nightdive tackle Looking Glass’ other series from the ‘90s after they’re done with System Shock: Thief.
Underworld.
One of the best series of all time. This looks so good. I'm almost as excited for this as I'm the SS1 remake.
I am hopeful that the Coop gameplay will make a return.
That and it'll be more robust than the original implementation.
They said in the description that coop was overhauled to make a seamless and casual friendly experience.
I have so many fond memories of playing this game. Can't wait to have another reason to replay it again!
I really hope you all give System Shock 2 the remake treatment it deserves, co-op and all.
I'm amazed you guys were able to redo the intro cutscene. I thought it was gonna be a lazy upscale and call it a day. Cant imagine how much time updating the fps, add the 3D models so theres no disconnect with the game visuals, the 2D assets, etc, took.
If I had to give one criticism it's that I don't like Shodan's eyes looking more lifelike at the end
I agree
As I look at both the classic version in the smaller window and the enhanced version on the main screen, the enhanced version looks fairly well. However I noticed a lot of that dark blue tone in the original missing a bit in the enhanced version. I hope that this might be inspected further since it is still in a work in progress. Anyways thanks again Nightdive!
One thing that would be a new and cool experience for me would be if I could play this on console. SS2 back in '99 was apparently on its way to Dreamcast but that got canceled. It'd be fun to play this at 4K on my PS5. Make it so?
EDIT: Looked at PC gamer article and, sweet! it is coming to console!
Love how the "low poly characters" are just enough enhanced to improve immersion. And not replaced with models that completely change the style and take away the eeriness.
Mulitplayer Co-op bring so much good memories ;) I'm Glad it's gonna be added and hopefully it will be less painful to connect ;)
System Shock 2 is still and to this day one of my favorit games. I play it once every year and its addicting every time. I also loved the first game in terms of atmosphere and story but the controls were so clunky that I didnt play it. So, I cant wait for the SS1 remake to drop. I really hope they will also make a remake of SS2.
Wait, next generations consoles? I love you guys
Awesome! Looking forward to hearing about the new upgrades and features, as I have only played the vanilla steam version
Hope you guys are planning to do a full remaster like the first game. :)
I hope old school players get something a little more with mods like Redux, Rebirth and Vurts overhaul available. But glad it's happening. 👍
Night Dive just can't stop winning.
When all of this is finished, we NEEEED a System Shock 3.
Love it! Great job, Nightdive!
Already pre-ordered System Shock remake and looking forward to this enhanced edition. The upscaled textures and cinematics coupled with the new weapon and enemy models really make the game's environments shine - more so than it did before, at least. So hyped!
wow, they packed the game with some mods and gonna sell it now, we live in amazing times
This is...the greatest game...ever made.
I finished this game long time ago and to my delight I remember nothing except that gravity portal gun thing. Cant wait to play this again
Hoping the end result details the Many's worm infestation on the floor, walls, and ceiling. Looks really good so far!
Saw the notification and just stopped what I was doing to watch it, I've never been more excited for a game preview. 😂
Looking gorgeous so far guys. I'm really excited to see how this turns out, best of luck!
LET'S GOOOOO
Where's the Enhanced portion of it?
This looks worse than the modded version I'm running currently.
A buy for sure, but hopefully SS2 get's a well deserved remake as SS1 did. Fingers crossed!
It's a work in progress, LGTM. I'm just happy that someone is working on this legendary game.
Will be interesting to see how it effects gameplay textures, they have aged pretty well as it is but will be great to see more updated cutscenes as they haven't aged so well. Shodan cutscenes especially are deserving of an upgrade. I also always have an issue with how Soldier looks in "vanilla".
I hope they increased the playability (for example melee weapon combat). I think it was his major defect when it came out.
this is game that seriously needs a remake since it ran out of budget and the devs just had to throw in whatever they could which resulted in the main character's famous "nah" and rushed ending. still the scariest fucking game ive ever played.
One of my favorite games of all time!
The lighting looks a little flat and the particle effects a little too low-res but I couldn't not be hyped for anything System Shock 2 at this point.
Thanks for showing this classic some love, Nightdive.
Can't wait to play this coop again.
System Shock 2 is the most criminally overlooked video game of all time. I can't wait to play SS1 Remake today!!!
With the release of the the SS remake, i sincerely hope for great fiscal success and a revitalization of excitement for the IP. Then a SS2 remake and completion of SS3 would be more likely to happen.
Wait....This is coming to consoles?! Holy cow! I've wanted to play SS2 for an eternity, but I've never been clever enough to get it running on my crummy laptop. With the System Shock remake AND System Shock 2 coming to consoles, I'll finally be able to play these stone cold classics!
Love what Nightdive's done with the remaster so far! Looks like they gave SHODAN cat's eyes, gazing into your soul like the apex predator she is! The dedication's in the details!
It's looking great, love the new models and animations, would be nice to have new animations for weapons and new effects for explosions and such as well.
I am so glad they kept to the original monster designs, instead of doing like those godawful overhaul mods did.
If I can live long enough to see a remake of System Shock 2, in the style like SS1-RM, then I have no regrets.
Looks great! Please include native gamepad support on PC! Also, if we can finally use ReShade depth buffer effects with a weapon drawn that would be awesome!
You can get quite good Gamepad gameplay using Steam Input. It's not perfect and the interface doesn't have controller icons etc, but it's overall a good experience, as much as it can be for a mouse driven game.
Yes!!! After that Thief 1&2 hopefully comes next!
Surprisingly VERY similar to the original! I can see how this is more being focused on the coding side of things to let it run on more modern consoles, but still good to see a return of one of my favorite games. Be fun to see the new generation of streamers and more enjoy it.
It looks way worse than the original. It's stunningly bad. Shamefully bad. Everyone on here is a dev or related to a dev. This is an absolute nightmare.
@@melcroseWhat makes it look "stunningly bad"?
@@melcroseelaborate
@@melcrose What are you even talking about?
Ah, good to see a sign of life from this project. :)
This is all well and good, but let's see a full remake for this one, too
Any news about VR-Mode?
I have played thru moded SS2 like 2 month ago and honestly from the tiny peak in this video I cant see any improvement compared to moded original release
If SS1 is any indication, System Shock 2 is going to be one hell of a trip
Y'all made some changes to the OG system shock intro, and I think it worked out pretty well. I think one change that should be made to System Shock 2's intro is to cut the bit about SHODAN. We all know about SHODAN. But more importantly, cutting that improves the pacing of the intro, gives it a better cold open, and doesn't just scream "SHE WILL SHOW BACK UP AS A TWIST LATER IN THE STORY" from the word go.
I don't expect y'all to have the courage to go all the way with it and change the box art (though if you did that would actually be awesome), but maybe at least try letting the story twist work as a twist, even if we all know about it already
nightdive studios doing god's work!
Oh heck yeah man, I’m all over this! I’m definitely gonna get this when it comes out and relive some old memories!
Thank you so much for making this remake! The remake is the best games that I've played all year and it comes at a difficult time in my life. Thank you so much for doing this!
So System Shock 1 is getting a remake, System Shock 2 is getting an enhanced port (Does this count as a remaster? Not sure) It's pretty obvious what we need, next! :-)
Please remake SS2 like 1, it was mind-blowing.
Shodan makes glados seem like the Microsoft paperclip
One of the big master pieces of video games. Thanks for bringing it to modern systems while keeping the original experience intact!
Will the KEX engine be able to support full model/animation mods? I can't wait to see what the community does without the hard limit on polygons the old engine had
