The System Shock remake is great and all, but is not suited at all for a DualShock. Specifically regarding inventory management, activating/deactivating implants, map movement, etc. The text was also so small and can’t be resized.
Before I plunk down on SS2 remaster I’d like a better idea of the above, otherwise I’ll just stick to my GoG version if I want a replay.
Any details on how this might run on the PS4? I've yet to upgrade, but if the PS4 version is 30fps and runs decently, I will most definitely be getting this.
@Ken_Kaniff I replayed them on Switch not long ago, and I tell ya, I don't think they need a remaster at all. They still look and play great, and the sound design is stellar. I think the Source engine holds up wonderfully.
I was excited for this, and still am! But I'm curious: in this review, you are particularly harsh on the gameplay, comparing this game to "Firewatch" and "Gone Home" in a less favorable light, and yet the gameplay of both of those was also just a vehicle for their stories. I'm curious why this one gets so scrutinized? (I love "walking simulator" games, for the record.)

Any notes on how it plays with a controller?

Re: The Invincible (PS5) - Hard Sci-Fi Adventure Tells a Good Story
@LiamCroft totally fair, especially when you have the sci-fi element, which could open up gameplay possibilities.
