Now I want System Shock in the aesthetic style of Dishonored. :D

As in the aesthetic style of half life + bioshock?

Bioshock was OK. I can see why they called it the spiritual successor of System Shock, but it's not the real deal in terms of true successor and it wasn't meant to be in the first place. Bioshock was more of a shooter anyways rather than a hide & sneak game. Dishonored has just such a unique style and game play that it would probably fair very well in a space setting.

I don't buy it. No recycling in Dishonored, which is like most of Prey, and no choking out enemies in Prey, which is like most of Dishonored. ;)
Weird fact: Although Dishonored, Dishonored 2, and Prey are all by Arkane, each one uses a different engine.

On the contrary, Bioshock changed a LOT throughout its development and was definitely intended to be SS's true successor. A lot got stripped out of that game once 2K acquired Irrational...

To me, it can't be a true successor without SHODAN and a space setting. IIRC, they abandoned the space setting early, and never had a malevolent AI as the antagonist.

Yeah, I seem to recall an underground nazi bunker with giant centipedes as the first iteration? At least they vastly improved it on the setting front, even if the gameplay went down the toilet...

Dishonored in space is Prey. It even has the exact same crouch slide mechanic.
Oh wow. So it has the same crouch slide mechanic, so it has to be Dishonored in space. ;)
Prey has much more in common with System Shock than it has with Dishonored. Some even call it System Shock 2.5.

I always thought System Shock 3 would be blast if set on earth, where Shodan uses Rebecca to basically infiltrate the future version of the internet.
Not sure who the protagonist would be. I always thought Croker would be good cause the guy seemed resourceful and tenacious. I haven't read through this entire thread yet: (
https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46670&s=) So I don't know if the consensus was the Croker is in fact dead, I always liked to think he escaped somehow. Anyway the protagonist doesn't matter quite so much.
But I thought that whomever you play, the crux of the game would be finding a way to expose and destroy Shodan, because she would be working in the dark trying to hide and do her experiments away from the prying eyes of everybody around, and the only ally that believes you that she is in fact infecting the planet is some old hacker in his 60s... (eh?)
Could be something there.

Rebecca as the CEO of TriOptimum?
