Title: Another opportunity for her to rule
Post by: Levyathan on December 18, 2002, 10:03:37 pm: A new ray of hope shines upon our souls. (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/r/?news/news_story.php?id=84259)

I know it's not much, but it's already way better than nothing. Too bad most of you don't care.

Post by: mikhael on December 18, 2002, 10:17:44 pm: The plot does thicken. About a week, maybe two weeks ago, that same page had only a one paragraph about the tactical-ai programmer job.

It will be rather interesting to see if Irrational does turn out to have the rights to the Shock property.

I won't hold any hopes until I hear something more definite, though.

What the hell were you doing in Shock 2?

From the System Shock 2 intro movie:

Evil SHODAN: Look at you hacker, a pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?

Good SHODAN: In 2072, a rogue artificial intelligence known as SHODAN lost her mind. In her limitless imagination, SHODAN saw herself as a goddess, destined to inherit the Earth. That image was snuffed out by the Hacker who created her.

So basically, you're a hacker and must destroy your creation right? But, eeh, where do do you...run. Inside the motherboard or something?

Shock 1 is inside a space station that's completely controlled by SHODAN. Shock 2 is onboard Earth's first faster than light starship, the Von Braun, and its escorting vessel, the Rickenbacker.

DeusEx2

Now this is what I am really looking forward to, more than any other game. They have released almost no information so far, but at least it's good to know that it is in development...

Neat image editing with the same file name. Very subtle.

Start with Shock 2, then go for the original. You can thank me for the advice after you're finished with both of them.

Post by: CP5670 on December 19, 2002, 11:50:07 pm: I never played the second game; just saw it a couple times at a relative's house, and that was some years ago. Aren't you fighting against SHODAN or something?

Probably should try to acquire a copy of this sometime...

Go. Buy. It. Now.
Spoiler:
You do indeed fight in Shodan's side on Shock 2, but not for the whole game.
