Ok I just played the first hour or so. Very cool intro sequence! :)
I'm playing with gamepad and I gotta say the gamepad implementation is pretty sloppy. Like, pressing B to close the inventory interface also makes you crouch. Scrolling down the message list with left stick also makes you move backwards. It's almost like they expect me to play this thing with mouse and keyboard or something.

Wow that's not even the part I intended as ZylonBane-bait. I'm on fire today!

Came over here to see what the diehard Shock fans think of the remake. Do you guys like it, in general, or not? I'm hoping this isn't similar to when Thief 2014 came out for all the hardcore taffers over in ThiefGen.
I haven't played the 1st SS since it was released, and I'm enjoying the remake. Got through the first level and a half or so, and everything seems good so far. But I'm guessing it's not perfect for all the traditionalists who've been around since the beginning.

Is "too colourful" the extent of your criticism?

I'm enjoying it. I have no problems with the pixelated graphics at all - since I still play the original regularly, the graphics aren't something that makes or break a game for me, all I care is if I'm having fun. And I am having fun. I had already finished the backer beta a couple of times, the final game is more polished and has a few differences that make it better.

I haven't actually gotten my copy yet. I think I chose GOG or something, so they probably haven't gotten around to distributing the keys there yet.

Have you checked your Backerkit account? Because I never received an e-mail with my Steam code, but when I went to Backerkit my code was available there.

Oh yeah, looks like it's there. They really should have sent an e-mail or something, though.

Looking forward to getting stuck into this. I never played the original, but I've been hearing good things about the remake.
First impressions... not great. Some kind of controller conflict meant the mouse cursor was continually flickering between its actual position and the top left corner of the screen, rendering everything involving a menu completely unplayable. I solved it by disabling controller support in Steam, and now I can actually play the game. Hopefully just teething problems, not a sign of things to come.
