This is not a game you can make for a couple of million.

Not sure what you mean, to be honest. The issue here is obviously that the publisher jumped off, so development is stalled because nobody is getting paid.
Do you mean that it would take more than a couple of millions?
Starker on 1/4/2020 at 13:09
Much more.

It really depends on the vision that the developers have of the game, doesn't it?

The vision seemed like a pretty decently sized AA/AAA game from the concept art and the trailer. You can't make an immersive sim that promises to be that big with current-day graphics with a few million in kickstarter money; and in any case, even if they did want to go crowdfunding, Underworld: Ascendant pretty much decimated the chances of fan investment there.

True, but, maybe better than to bury the idea of a new System Shock completely.
If I think about it, that might be better anyway, if noone wants it. Shame, but, it's not as if I'm not used to it, with Dishonored, Thief, and basically more or less any franchise which is interesting for me practially dead anyway.

Hm...that's too bad. I was looking forward to see any progression, but didn't expect bad news instead. There are, however, some nice recommendations of games in this thread that have a similar game-play, so, I appreciate that. I haven't played Prey yet.

Definitely do so, I really think it's a great game, and very SS-ish, in my opinion.
Now, what a shame that it sold so badly that they probably will never do a Prey 2. :( Kids these days...

Well, maybe if Night Dive's System Shock remake turns out good they can take up the mantle of making SS3 next? Their SS1 remake is a relatively low-budget affair, made of the $1.3M they got from Kickstarter plus whatever they've managed to scrape up on the side.
edit: or if noone else wants to do it, I will make SS3. Although I will be renaming it Stilt Shock 3 and there might be some creative tweaks to the classic SS formula.

Eh? There are regular updates on the Kickstarter page.
