Nightdive noted that it just wanted to show how an AI would imagine what another AI would like like in a physical form. The studio recently posted a follow-up thread, explaining the intent behind the original tweet. “That’s not how you advertise a game crafted by people with passion for a franchise,” one user wrote, with others expressing their intend to cancel pre-orders or saying they won’t buy the System Shock remake. Some users didn’t like the post and criticized Nightdive for using AI technologies in their work. #SHODAN #SystemShock #midjourney #rogueAI /i4Gwi2bpdQ Imagine, how would my immortal body look like?ĭesigned by an immortal machine for an immortal machine. Look at you, hacker: a pathetic creature of meat and bone. “How can you challenge a perfect machine? Imagine, how would my immortal body look like?” reads the tweet with an attached picture of Shodan, an evil AI and the main antagonist of the original System Shock. Even when you know where you need to go, you’re left to fumble around in blind hope of eventually running into an objective or a medical bay.Last week, Nightdive Studios posted an artwork generated by Midjourney (via PC Gamer). As a whole, this System Shock lacks for useful navigation tools that could have allowed it to better thread the needle between aimless wandering and over-explanation. The map screen is no better, with tiny icons and minimal labeling that only further complicate the process of remembering where you’ve been. All of your objectives are left unmarked and largely uncommented on aside from what you can glean from certain audio logs, which can only be referenced by picking through a list of the many, many other logs that are meant just for flavor. The lack of player direction in System Shock will test even the most vocal detractors of modern games’ handholding. The maze-like level design requires the sort of backtracking that’s reminiscent of the Metroid games-that is, if Metroid was particularly stingy about opening up shortcuts and did a poor job of signposting where to go next. System Shock makes a good first impression, only for frustration to become its default mode once more and more of the station opens up to you.
