Upcoming space horror games

[joevonzombie]

Based on nothing. I don't get excited for videogames anymore period. However just imagine Bethesda shuts down and some new studio picks up the rights to remake Fallout 1. How likely is it going to be mechanically closer to FO3 than FO1?
The Making of Fallout New Vegas video showed that Obsidian was surprised on how popular FO3 was. A lot of people refers to FO3 as the first Fallout game. Seriously, most of them didn't realize that they excluded the first 2 games when talking about Fallout. Google "Fallout 1" and the first image in the summary stub is a cover of Fallout 3.

Again, your assumptions are entirely baseless. If this was triple A studio working on this I would understand where you're coming from. Look at what EA did to Syndicate, but this was crowd funded for fucks sake with a playable demo. The only major changes that have been made are the visuals and they modernized the UI.

If you're that jaded, you should give video games a break. Considering the modern CRPG resurgence and mixed reception of Fallout 4, I would expect a remake of Fallout 1 to play like Fallout 1.

I feel there's a great deal of nit picking going on here.

I have a copy of SS1 on steam, yet I can't play due to how old the controls are.

Looking at SS2, it looks like a lot of advancements was made in that 3 year period, especially for FPS.

So a remake to SS1 isn't too much of a bad thing. And considering Chris Avellone is working on both System Shock and Prey, I'm expecting good things to come out of them.
Any game he has worked on, just feels likes it's the best it could be.

Even if System Shock does take from Bioshock, then that still isn't 100% a bad thing.
I would like SS to keep the complexities of SS and simplify it to Bioshock's level, but considering the ten year span between SS and BS, any changes made would be more of a change in the genre rather than influence.

Have you seen the recent kickstarter travesties?

I guess that I'm too jaded. People are realizing that Bethesda doesn't make very good games; even if, it mostly due to FO4's release being so close to Witcher 3. However, I don't see any reason to be excited about a video game. I never buy a game at launch and I still have backlog of games to play.
I'll never get over how bad Bioshock 1 is. It did exactly one good thing, its setting. I'm at the point where I rather risk a missing a potentially good game than play another irredeemable piece of shit like Bioshock.

I have played the more recent Kickstarter successes like Wasteland 2, Divinity Original Sin and Pillars of Eternity. A games funding platform does not dictate its quality. The quality of the product is dictated by the developer how they choose to use those funds. keiji inafune is responsible for how piss poor Mighty No 9 is, not Kickstarter. Have you tried the demo yet? http://store.steampowered.com/app/482400/

You are the one implied that it would be great because of that or at the very least because it wasn't AAA which is somewhat valid.
A AAA budget definitely affects where the money goes.

Basically, this is my argument.

I'll admit that I was really butthurt about Bioshock but I think this is a valid mindset.

Sorry for the insane amount of posts but for any of you wondering what "Routine" is:

I really, really hope this game gets finished. It's been in development for so long now. I just hope they don't pull some bait and switch, where the trailers are nothing like the completed game.

I'm annoyed Dead Space is a dead franchise.

I was never a big fan of it to begin with. FPSRPG "immersive sims" are more my bread and butter. That said I will say the original dead space was super tense and kind of scary early on. But I feel kinda meh about their monster design and the later games.

It feels like their monsters are very over kill "look how messed up we can make them lololololololololol"

I heard somewhere that they intended to release the game this year. I really wish they were better at communicating as I can understand not wanting to over hype it but still.

I never was too big of a fan of being very jaded or cynical when it comes to games tbh. Nor do I feel like the "SUPER HYPE OMG" is a great thing either. Some hype with abit of caution never killed nobody. That said I have played lots of games from kick starter (wasteland 2, Pillars of eternity and FTL to name a few) that ended up being really good and supported Tides of Numenera and System shock 1 remake on kick starter. Both of which look promising. Generally speaking they seem to have a reasonable idea of when the game is finished and form their demo its obvious the game would have been made anyway they just wanted to ensure it could be better. Bioshock IMO has a LOT wrong with it, but I sitll think its a good game just nowhere near as competently made as system shock 2. its lesser in every way but that doesnt make it bad per say.

I may be labeled a heretic (especially here) for saying so but I wouldn't call any games published or made from Bethesda bad. I can honestly say I have had a bad experience. Fallout 3 was flawed but fun as it was essentially Fallout but now a immersive sim. Skyrim was dumb and shallow but a fun fantasy simulator if I ever seen one. Fallout 4 was even dumber and even shallower but again its a fun sort rpg but not really post apcolyptic simulator.

I wasn't judging Bioshock 1 by the standards of System Shock because I never played System Shock. That game did exactly one thing right and it is the art direction. It felt like someone placed some nice concept art and ideas into a generic FPS maker, Ken Levine played what it spat out, he thought that it was too fun and interesting, and he forced the dev team to do it again but make it less fun.
To me, Skyrim is at best 2/5. Even FO:NV is a 4/5 due to all the bugs, performance issues, and inexplicitly cut content. Mods can make a game better but it can't make a game good.

Edit: I used setting and art direction interchangeably when referring to the one thing it got right but I felt that both are too intertwined to be two different things. I didn't like the setting for the writing or the level design that is for sure.
