Hunting for SS2 source code in order to do a source port and fix linux and multiplayer.
Won't go the path of Bethesda or Disney with DMCAs. Unless infringing on rights and selling a commercial project without permission, green light for all mods, fan projects.
Want to do a demo for the final game. Probably going to put up the build that got scrapped for backers when the game comes out. Also, will make the original Unity demo available.
Shuttle bays will have shuttles. Design based on the intro.
Want to release all the produced art after launch.
Thinking about a SS2 remake. Not necessarily by Nightdive.
Want to do a limited re-release of System Shock 1. Will contain the source port, the source code, a re-release of the original manual (I.C.E Breaker), a newly arranged soundtrack, plus a few other things that are secret for now. The box art cover will be redone by the original artist (Robb Waters).

SS2 remake? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
That game does not need a remake.

It's probably less because it needs one and more because someone wants to do one. I wonder who offered to do it.

Why not? I mean, it may not need a remake, but I don't think the original would be damaged by association with a bad remake, if that's what it came down to. Worst case we get a crap remake we can ignore, best case we get a faithful modernization that improves the original while remaining true to it.

Or maybe even a completely different remake that, for example, rebalances the whole game, completely redesigns Rickenbacker, and adds in cyberspace similar to the first game. Especially as there is no need for a faithful remake.

and botm done right.

I'd rather they devote their energy into making more new System Shock games + spin offs, rather than focusing on remakes.

They prefer to let Otherside do the sequel stuff. Also, why not let another company do a SS2 remake, if they really want to? Should they just keep the license to themselves and not let anyone touch it?

Well, Stephen said that they are likely let a thirt-party company make a SS2 remake after they released SS1R.
