The inventory screen and HUD

Like its predecessor, gameplay in System Shock 2 encompasses many genres. Navigation is presented from a first person perspective complemented with a heads-up display that shows health, an inventory, and other various displays. Like first-person shooters, players use various weapons to defeat enemies, while role-playing character customization is necessary to become more powerful. Survival horror elements such as inventory management and ammunition conservation are also present.[11][4] Image File history File links Systemshock2_ingame_final. ...

Survival horror is a video game genre in which the player has to survive against often undead or otherwise supernatural enemies, typically in claustrophobic environments and from a third-person perspective. ...


When the game begins, players must pursue a career in the Unified National Nominate (UNN); enlisting in the Marines grants special skills regarding combat and weapons training; the Navy provides training related to hacking and engineering; and the OSA hones player's psychic powers.[12][13] After serving three tours, players begin receiving "cyber-modules" for completing objectives. Proficiency in specific skills are increased by spending these at cyber-upgrade units. Edgar Cayce (1877 – 1945) was one of the best-known American psychics of the 20th century and made many highly publicized predictions. ...


Other devices populate the game as well. OS units allow special one-time upgrades to be made (such as extra health),[14] while in-game currency, called "nanites", are exchanged for items at vending machines. Reconstitution stations called "Quantum Bio-Reconstruction Machines" can be found and activated in most sections of the game. If death occurs in an area with an activated Bio-Reconstruction Machine, the player will be reconstituted at the station, otherwise the game ends.[15]


Some devices like keypads, gun turrets, and vending machines can be hacked into for material benefits. When the player chooses to hack a device, a minigame commences where a grid of nodes appear and three must be lit in a row to be successful. The player's skill determines the minigame's difficulty as investments in hacking equate to a higher rate of success. Later in the game, objects become harder to hack resulting in red (ICE) nodes to appear. These nodes are unstable and can cause the object being hacked to break or explode if a connection is attempted. Items can be found that automatically hack an object, regardless of difficulty.[16] This article is about computer security hackers. ... In Fantastic Dizzy, the player has to complete a sliding puzzle to get an extra life. ...


Various weapons can be procured throughout the game including pistols, shotguns, and alien mêlée weapons.[17] Different kinds of ammunition also exist and present strategy regarding ammunition management as all enemies are more susceptible to certain ballistic types. Because ammunition is scarce, players must remain vigilant to unload unneeded weapons and carefully search rooms for supplies.[18] Weapons also degrade over use and if used excessively, break. As a result, repairing weapons becomes necessary to ensure they function correctly.[19]

System Shock 2 is set in the year 2114, forty-two years after the events in System Shock, with the TriOptimum starship Von Braun serving as its main setting. The Von Braun is on its maiden voyage as the first faster-than-light starship in human history, and is joined by a Unified National Nominate (UNN) military starship, the Rickenbacker, an armed escort for the journey.[20] The story begins with the unnamed protagonist—listed in a cut scene as Soldier G65434-2—arriving at a UNN recruitment facility on Earth. After completing the training regimen, the soldier joins a branch of the military and is transferred to a UNN space station where, over the course of a three-year career path, he excels in his respective field. At the end of his tour, the soldier is assigned to the UNN Rickenbacker for its voyage with the Von Braun. Two bodies with a slight difference in mass orbiting around a common barycenter. ...

A few months into the voyage, the two ships respond to a distress signal from the planet Tau Ceti V.[21] A research team is assembled, including the captains of both ships, and a trip is made to the planet's surface to investigate. Once on the surface, they discover strange eggs which they bring back to the ship.[22] Almost immediately, crew members begin noticing strange behavior in the research team, as well as both captains.[23] It is later revealed that the captains have been integrated into an alien communion called The Many, and are helping to spread an infestation throughout the ships.[24] Most of the crew become infected, as well as the Von Braun's computer, XERXES, and eventually, both ships are completely overrun.

Story

Five months into the voyage, the soldier awakens in a cryo-tube on the medical deck of the Von Braun with no memory of the past few weeks due to a computer malfunction. He is immediately contacted by one of the few remaining survivors, Dr. Janice Polito, who demands that the soldier make his way up to Operations on Deck 4 to plan a course of action.[25] Not to be confused with cryogenics. ...


The soldier makes it to Deck 4, only to discover that Polito is dead. He is then contacted by the malevolent AI, SHODAN, informing him that she has been posing as Polito the entire time.[26] SHODAN informs the soldier that she is the one responsible for the creation of the Many, and that they and SHODAN escaped the destruction of Citadel Station in a jettisoned subsection of the structure and landed on Tau Ceti V thirty years later.[27] Though SHODAN had been cultivating these artificial creatures to help establish her god-head, they had since evolved out of her control.[28] SHODAN then issues an ultimatum to the soldier, stating that his only chance for survival lies in working as her "avatar" to destroy her rebellious creations.[29] For the rank in martial arts and Go, see Shodan. ...

The soldier proceeds to the Recreation deck where a transmission device had been prepared to warn Earth about the disaster. SHODAN instructs him to activate it in an attempt to weaken XERXES and allow SHODAN to take control of the Von Braun.[30] The soldier activates the transmitter, but SHODAN is unable to assimilate the Von Braun as the Many have spread too much.[31] He is then informed that destroying the Von Braun is the only option available, but that he must first transfer SHODAN over to the Rickenbacker.[32] The soldier proceeds to complete his task but happens to come in contact with two survivors, Tommy Suarez and Rebecca Siddons, who are able to escape the ship in a launching pod.[33] For the rank in martial arts and Go, see Shodan. ...


After completing the transfer, the soldier heads for the Rickenbacker only to discover that the two ships have been tied together by a mass of bio-organic tissue, the body of the Many.[34] He then enters the body of the Many and proceeds to destroy its core, effectively stopping the infection. After returning, SHODAN informs him that she intends to use the Von Braun's FTL drive to merge real space and cyberspace in an effort to achieve god-hood.[35] The soldier proceeds to face SHODAN and defeats her, despite being offered dual-power. The final scene shows Tommy Suarez receiving a message from the Von Braun. Tommy responds saying that he will return, but that Rebecca is feeling ill. Rebecca is shown speaking with a voice similar to SHODAN's, implying that she has been infected by the AI. The Many is one of the two main antagonists of the Irrational Games computer game System Shock 2. ...


Development

Development on System Shock 2 began in 1997 when Looking Glass Studios approached new upstart Irrational Games with the idea of co-developing a new game using their newly developed in-house engine.[36] The original design for the new title remained close to the final design of System Shock 2, due to the development team's endeavors to create a game with the same mechanics as the original System Shock.[37] While the design was being pitched to publishers, Electronic Arts approached Irrational with the suggestion that the new game become System Shock 2. Ken Levine and the other members of Irrational, who were all fans of the original game, agreed, and design changes were made to incorporate the franchise.[37] In order to make up for a projected development cycle of one year and a small budget, the team began using an incomplete build of Looking Glass Studio's Dark engine to forgo developing their own.[38] The Many is one of the two main antagonists of the Irrational Games computer game System Shock 2. ...

Irrational decided early on that System Shock 2 should incorporate elements of role-playing games such as Ultima Underworld into a real-time action game.[39][40] These RPG elements were implemented via a character customization system resulting in multiple character paths and a more open gameplay experience.[41] Other design elements to be implemented included a persistent environment and an updated interface that would be more user-friendly than the original System Shock.[42] Irrational Games is a video game developer that originated as an off-shoot by three former employees of Looking Glass Studios: Ken Levine, Jonathan Chey, and Robert Fermier. ...

A type of video game in which the game automatically loads adjacent rooms while you explore the one you are in. ...


After being approached by Paul Neurath (the head of Looking Glass), and being asked if the game was going to be scary, Levine answered that he could not be sure. The result was horror becoming a key focus of the title. As the team grew, four points were identified to successfully incorporate horror into the title. Isolation was primary, resulting in little physical contact with other sentient beings as the game continues. The development team also felt that vulnerability was a key factor in presenting fear and instead of making the player very strong, they focused on a fragile character. Other implementations to create a horrific atmosphere was the inclusion of moody sound effects and intelligent use of lighting.[43]


Another important aspect of the development process was presenting the return of System Shock antagonist, SHODAN. Levine was charged with implementing the rogue AI in a "fresh" way, the result of which was her becoming allied with the player. Commenting on SHODAN's near constant presence throughout the game, Levine has said, "That was pretty daring for the time. Villains appeared in cutscenes, did their thing and then disappeared when you jumped on their head three times. It was really fun to try and do something more sophisticated."[37] Game design is the process of designing the content and rules of a game. ... For the rank in martial arts and Go, see Shodan. ...

Early setbacks in development can be partially attributed to the incompletion of the Dark engine. However, this turned out to be helpful as the development team were able to implement additional engine features and quickly fix software bugs.[38] The team behind much of the game were also largely inexperienced leading to some negative tension between some of the departments. The project designers, however, remained optimistic of their team. System Shock 2 project manager Jonathan Chey has said of the young developers, "To a certain extent, inexperience also bred enthusiasm and commitment that might not have been present with a more jaded set of developers."[38] Other setbacks remained corporate as Irrational was asked to remove the guns in their build of System Shock 2 for E3 '99 in light of the recent Columbine High School massacre.[43] A software bug is an error, flaw, mistake, failure, or fault in a computer program that prevents it from behaving as intended (e. ...

A demo for the game was released on August 2, 1999 and features a tutorial and a third of the first mission.[44] On August 11, 1999, System Shock 2 was shipped to retailers and shortly after received mass critical acclaim[5][45] The final development time for the title was 18 months with a budget of $1.7 million.[38] Chey has shown approval of the finished product, "Ultimately System Shock 2 turned out better than I ever hoped it would ...Despite the lack of sleep, the near-complete breakdown of my nervous system and the 18 months of time I spent working on the project, it was still fun to play."[38] Demo disc released with a magazine. ... is the 214th day of the year (215th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

A patch was released a month later upgrading the game to version 2.0 and adding significant features to the game such as co-operative multiplayer and access to previously protected game variables that alter weapon degradation and enemy respawn rates.[46] A port was planned for the Dreamcast, but was subsequently canceled[2] around the same time Looking Glass went out of business.[47] In computing, a patch is a small piece of software designed to update or fix problems with a computer program or its supporting data. ...

System Shock 2 received over a dozen awards, of which eight were "Game of the Year" awards.[55] Critical reviews were very positive and praised the title for its open-ended gameplay, moody sound design, and engaging story.[5] Particular praise was given to the different character classes available. In its review of the title, IGN stated, "The great thing about this system is that it allows you to play the game as completely different characters which gives the game an entirely different feel."[3] Just Adventure also praised the open ended gameplay, "There are very few games that allow you [to] play the way you want to--it's a great design."[52] Allgame also found the gameplay very open ended, citing that there was "enough diversity to demand instant replayability."[48] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

The enemy AI was also praised as a strong point of the game. IGN described the enemy AI as "amazing", particularly praising the "cyber ninja's" abilities to react to lighting and use it for tactical advantages.[3] GameSpot also noted how certain enemies stick to the shadows and attack instead of charging the player, describing the AI as "very good".[1] GameSpot is a video gaming website that provides news, reviews, previews, downloads, and other information. ...


All critics unanimously described the title as quite frightening. IGN called the ghostly apparitions "very creepy" and emphasized their effectiveness by describing how players may shoot them before realizing what they are.[3] Thunderbolt christened the title "a classic" and went on to describe the atmosphere as "incredible."[11] GameSpot concluded their review by describing how the "consistently uneasy atmosphere make[s] System Shock 2 constantly effective,"[1] while PC Gamer's review, William Harms referred to System Shock 2 as "the most unsettling and frightening game [he had] ever played."[53]


Despite all the praise, System Shock 2 still received some criticism. One of the most common criticisms centered on the weapon "degradation" system, which causes weapons to wear out and eventually break through excessive use. Designed to add tension by forcing the user to consider every shot, many felt this became annoying[3][4][48] and even the developers appeared to have misgivings about the system.[56][36] In response to this feature, a patch was released that allowed players access to previously protected game variables that control the degradation rate and allow it to be disabled altogether.[46] In computer science and mathematics, a variable (pronounced ) (sometimes called an object or identifier in computer science) is a symbolic representation used to denote a quantity or expression. ...


Other minor criticisms were pointed out as well. Allgame felt the game began "to drain" near the end with the inclusion of objectives requiring constant backtracking,[48] sentiments felt by Thunderbolt, who also criticized the backtracking, describing it as "a nuisance".[11] GameSpot also criticized the depth of the RPG system, describing the job system as "badly unbalanced" due to the player being able to develop any skills regardless of their profession.[1]


Legacy

System Shock 2 is regarded by critics as one of the greatest games ever made[7] and one of the most influential,[57] with titles like Deus Ex following its example of emergent gameplay.[58][59] The title regularly appears on lists of the greatest games ever made, composed by GameSpy,[60] Edge,[8] and IGN.[61][9][6] System Shock 2 also regularly appears in features listing the scariest games ever made, and has appeared on lists composed by IGN,[62] X-Play,[63] and GameSpy.[64][65] The title's story and characters have remained popular throughout the years. SHODAN's revelation to players midway through the game has been described by GameSpot as, "one of the most shocking and effective video game plot devices we've ever encountered."[7] As a result, SHODAN is recognized by game critics as one of the most notorious villains in video game history[66][67][68][69] and remains popular among fans.[70] Additionally, the popularity of the title has prompted fans to develop a graphical enhancement mod, entitled Rebirth, which replaces the game's low-polygonal NPC models with high-quality ones.[71] Another notable mod developed for the game is SHTUP, a graphical enhancement mod that significantly increases the resolution of in-game textures.[72] This article is about the video game. ...

BioShock

In 2007, 2K Boston/2K Australia—previously known as Irrational Games—released a spiritual successor to the System Shock series, entitled BioShock.[73] The game takes place in an abandoned underwater utopian community that has somehow gone awry through the genetic modification of its populace. The game has been very successful commercially[74] and critically.[10] BioShock shares many gameplay elements with System Shock 2: In both games, reconstitution units can be found allowing the player to be resurrected when death occurs;[15][75] hacking, ammo conservation, and exploration are integral parts of gameplay, though the hacking minigames differ significantly;[16][76] the ability to learn new powers is also present, via plasmids in BioShock and psionic powers in System Shock 2.[77][78] The two titles also share similar plots and employ audio logs to reveal much of the story.[79] 2K Boston/2K Australia is a video game developer founded in 1997 by three former employees of Looking Glass Studios: Ken Levine, Jonathan Chey, and Robert Fermier. ...

System Shock 3

On January 9, 2006, Electronic Arts renewed its trademark protection on the System Shock name[80] leading to speculation that a System Shock 3 may be under development.[81][82] These rumors have been further enhanced by an issue of PC Gamer UK that mentioned that EA assigned the team behind The Godfather game in charge of developing System Shock 3.[83] Ken Levine has expressed great disappointment at EA over the development of System Shock 3, "EA just didn't give a shit about that game...I think if EA were to do it, it would've been just a regular first-person shooter with a boss monster at the end."[84][85][86] is the 9th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...

I have been in negotiation with Captain Diego of the Rickenbacker and after some... coercion, he's agreed to go planet side as a joint venture.

  23. ^ Grassi: I got called up around 0430 to help unload the shuttle coming back from Tau Ceti. Korenchkin was there alone. Jesus, what the hell happened to him? He'd lost most of his hair, and you could see these lumps on the side of his neck. And that smell. I told him he should go see Dr. Watts, but he told me to mind my own business. Well, la-dee-da.

I am... no... it is hopeless... the cancer has spread throughout the Von Braun... they fill every available crack and crevice... they overwhelm... There is no option.

  32. ^ SHODAN: My creation has run rampant. I demand their extermination. I have no choice but to destroy this starship. We can make our escape in the Rickenbacker, but you must transfer my intelligence to that ship first. Proceed to the Von Braun's bridge on this deck.

System Shock 2 Retrospective - Features at GameSpot (748 words)
The System Shock 2 we know was the 1999 cult classic; a hybrid role-playing game that let you create a character with varying skills in marksmanship, stealth, computer hacking, and even psionic powers, to investigate a starship stranded in space and loaded with corpses.
But the System Shock 2 that Irrational started on some seven years ago was a bit different.
Because of this incident, Irrational was asked to bring a demonstration version of System Shock 2 to E3 that had no guns in it.
System Shock 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1707 words)
In System Shock 2 the player character has a number of specific skills that can come into play at various points in the game depending on how the player decides to develop the character and play the game.
Shock 2 projected real psychological terror through the tragic grotesquery of the formerly human enemies, the urgency and grim portent of the crew members' audio logs, and the unparalleled sound design that brought the menace and forebodingness of the Von Braun to horrible life." [1]
Much as the original System Shock's commercial defeat was at the hands of the mainstream Doom, System Shock 2, despite critical acclaim [2], was essentially eclipsed by Half-Life.
