System Shock Gameplay Trailer
As pulled directly from the website for the game:
“We’ve gathered a team of industry veterans from games like Fallout: New Vegas, Mass Effect, and BioShock to create a faithful reboot of the classic game we all know and love. In System Shock, you’ll take on the role of a resourceful hacker as you explore and survive the terrors of Citadel Station brought on by a rogue AI named SHODAN. To ensure this reboot is as true to the original as possible, we’ve been collaborating with the original developers of System Shock 1.”
The demo is currently available on Steam.
