Also I installed Reshade, the latest one at that time, and when it asks , I check and download everything then tweak while I play...

Bloom is too much.
Yeah, it's very distracting.
@@ZZZGGGLLLAAAHHH
It's a wip...
Just tweaking it, y'know.
@@JosephMelia Don't get me wrong, that was just a minor nit-pick. Overall, it's still very impressive.
Looks good. Just tried this out and my favorite combo is bloom shader combined with eye adjustment shader. Makes looking at bright things feel way brighter and simulates HDR, so the bloom effect is dynamic. Similar to that tech demo for half life 2. There were some awesome cinematic lens flare effects too that made this game look cooler. I cant stop playin with it
Yes, I love tweaking old games with visual effects, particularly solid gold classics like Half Life or SS2.
just about to mod it right now. never played more than a couple hours. this looks amazing. nice vid
You just have to finish it, even once..truly one of the best games ever put to code..up there with Half Life, Halo, Deus Ex, SOTC, and Diablo 2.
@@JosephMelia no mention of thief? i'm in disbelief lul
It's a mixed bag. Some places look horribly oversaturated some look good.
It needs more subtlety for sure, but with tweaking, that's just a matter of time.
Stil...am happy how well SS2 takes the reshade shaders.
Way too much bloom, but the textures and weapon models look nice.
true.
damn that looks awesome!
IKR
The only thing that bothers me is that the hud and player inventory also bloom hahaha otherwise this looks phenomenal.
Thats a problem with reshade, unfortunately.
Just far too much ... much. Of everything. Nothing subtle. It could have been done far better. Everything is garish and fake looking.
WIP....and subjective taste, plus, youtube tends to compress video, so it looks different when playing,
@@JosephMelia Yeah eye of the beholder. But massive over saturated brights are not the theme or atmosphere that SS2 is known for. It's a dark, edgy game. Not a carnival light show.
@@TheVanillatech So do your own reshade for it, or play vanilla.
i like it this way.
that's what matters to me, not some randomer's imperious opinion on how I like to entertain myself.
it's a 23 year old game, and mods are there to freshen the experience.
Subjectivity is a thing especially where mods are concerned.
It's not a canon remake after all. Smh.
love this game.
One of the best games ever made, no doubt about it.
They just don't make them like this any more.
Hell, they mostly didn't make them like that back then.Closest to it are Deus Ex and Half Life..
The bloom is too much
Subjectively.
Unbelievable how good that looks
Holy moly that makes me wanna replay it again. Do you have the ray tracing Shader activated here? I bet it would look incredible in a game like this!
No, because the raytrace shader costs money..these are all free effects, I just download all the reshade stuff available at install, and then just pick and mix what to activate, testing it as I play..true rayshading would probably be gorgeous on this..
I know some people hate insane bloom and neon, but I think it's cool for a game like this. But the problem is it gives me a headache after a while, haha
Better without reshade.
Impressive!
If they don't remake SS2, I'm gonna be using these mods I guess...
Use Rtx remix
the new lighting looks bad imo
noted,
You know the first time I heard system shock soundtrack, I think was the first one actually.. like I wanted to I wanted it but I just couldn't, like the mood set and everything was so contrasting to what I've been trained to.. I wonder if it would have had more effect as a horror game back in 94 before genre tropes had been established more or less... but for system shock 2 soundtrack, and initially I just turned it off cuz I figured it was going to be the same effect.. like it hits you kind of off putting and you've kind of got some preconceptions from the first one, as far as how it's scored.. so years later, I have a playlist put together I've just random thing... Happens to have a system shock 2bgameplay loop, and I was passed out in a lot of pain.. and just couldn't really move and was just like fuck it it's it's not really bothering me I guess.. and the more that track would play the more I started to absolutely fucking love it, and it is genuinely starting to be one of the the strangest obsessions of mine just mentally documenting how insidious it is and how well put together it is just simple loop like you have in this video..
also get a really really quality appreciation for how it plays out in the game, like I know the guys known for dynamic music and he tried to do a proper dynamic track in system shock 1.. if you had the right hardware of course given it was midi music, often you can get a completely different sound if you didn't have the right equipment.. and I really respect that, like he did he did all the things.. just tonally it felt so antithetical to what I'm so used to with a horror game.. apparently he did less on this one cuz nobody cared about the first one, or noticed that it was actually doing Dynamics.. either by fault of the medi or just like myself the genre... But fuck me, I'm not saying he got better.. but he managed to mix it in with so much skill. It's really too bad that while obviously he went on to basically create the fucking music game.. in the rock band and whatnot and has made that his career, I mean that's good obviously but I really like selfishly wish he had stuck to audio design for narrative games.. so far ahead of his time, but everything about system shock was ahead of its time.. hell even system shock 2 was ahead of its time in some ways.. at least consistent with the first one, just held back by that animation from just being a technical equivalent to the first one in terms of scope.. but fuck, I've never gone from being so well okay I have I've gone from hating a genre to liking a genre but I never thought about it as it was happening LOL.
I always liked the soundtrack..people complain about it, but I love it.
@@JosephMelia the first one or the second one..? Cuz I mean I can see the first one being likable especially if you're in the midi music and you have an ear for it.. I just don't have an ear for midi music I didn't grow up with it, I never had a PC in the 90s that could play multimedia in that regard, at least not enough to be confident and I couldn't usually run the titles that would involve that LOL and I wasn't into music either at that age.. by the time I started doing all of those things and had sound cards and whatnot midi was just not something that you did unless you were in the MIDI like bubble of that earliest '90s just before the end of the late 90s...
Which is funny because sample music is something that I'm a big fan of, and watching my buddy put together tracks virtually you could swap out what he's doing with MIDI instructions if you're using the same sample libraries but.. I'm not really sure how many replicated instruments I mean I thought in some cases they used actual libraries of sound recording, or maybe there just wasn't enough instruction set whereas if you're sitting down and fine-tuning it through pro tools or logic and reason... Maybe that's what makes the difference I'm not sure, is virtually the same idea though..
I kind of wonder if part of the problem was so much that people were using the wrong directory library things, so much is that the standard that had to be maintained to ensure like a reasonable quality playback of what the artist was intending was not the best maybe.. or limited in some capacity so that they couldn't carry it that much further.. legitimately fascinated by a lot of that stuff, I've always been a huge fan of sound cards and audio processing cuz I did grow up enough early enough for that to still have been a thing, for the 6th and 7th generation gutted the concept of sound design in gaming forever..
and it is definitely something where it's like I've acquired sounds that I disliked significantly when I was younger I've gone through transitionary. Where I actively did not like a sound or a genre or a style or an instrument and then a few weeks later it's my favorite thing in the whole world.. I kind of had that relationship with the system shock 2 soundtrack LOL..
There's ever something I wish they would do and you could probably do this with mods it would be to make the system shock2 soundtrack function the way the first one did, like the chaos theory or the Doom remakes.. where you have that constant mix.. you'd have to do two things though, one find somebody familiar enough with the game and the game setting so that it would actually work, including those long bouts of silence which are important.. and then you'd have to be good enough at the music end, so it wouldn't be so much as like a fix as it would be you'd actually need an artist to pull this off..
Now if only we knew of a talented musician who is very familiar with sample work, and also a lover of the system shock series and understanding of its atmosphere and with a good head for house sound design and music design works.. I feel like there's a name somewhere on the tip of my tongue here, can't quite place it...
Maybe somebody with a Grim Beard, that's that's all that I'm able to grasp from The ether here, cough, cough..
@@jakedill1304 2nd 1 is better.
@@jakedill1304 your comments are hard to read...but you have a point about a soundtrack generated on the fly..it's a good idea, just need the right people to put the code and samples together.
my eyes hurt
Nice! looks great. After finishing the video i noticed there is no list of mods? Very nice but unhelpful video, thanks anyway.

Sieht echt gut aus. Wenn so das Remaster aussieht, wäre ich zufrieden. Mit Ray Tracing hätte es noch mehr Atmosphäre.
Looks like a modern game now. Original SS2 has dated graphics; even for its time.
Link to the mood?
see video description for list, then google them
I just want the reshade where can I download it ?
Looks nice, what reshade filter you are using?!
A few..will have to check, I have Godrays and hexlensflare, and a boom, and sharpener.
Just kept tweaking it.
can reflections be activated?
Does this require a good graphics card?
GTX 750 upward should run this,
