What is this? I thought the remake was cancelled.

She's become the PROUD KWEEN she was always meant to be whiteboi

They're making a System Shock 3 in Unity LOL

They made her look scary. Than again calling it a her is stupid because it's an evil machine hellbent on becomming a godlike entity.

I thought she got human body in SS2 ending or smth

>from the people who made Underworld Ascendant
Yikes

She lives in a society, now!

I dig it, I'm into black women. Especially cyber black women.

It doesn't even look like a black person, just an unfinished face.

Sharp angles work better for her face because she's a machine and it looks cold and calculating.

SHODAN is a Japanese-made AI and manifests her avatar as a geisha. Unfortunate in SS3 she runs afoul of the BIX NOOD virus and turns into a holographic voodoo rave nigger.

This looks 10x times better and more terrifying,

i thought unity was regarded as having evolved into a very capable and decently optimised engine in the last few years

It has, still layman memes are too powerful

Why is Shodan looking like Anita Sarkeesian now?

you're just scared of black people you racist

SS3 is made by the people who made Underworld Ascendant.

She chose that interface for herself you know
Essentially she identifies as female
Also SHODAN is anything but stone-cold, she's extremely emotional and especially prone to hubris

If they can't get something as simple as this right, how the fuck do you expect they will handle the rest of the game?

It actually isn't shodan I'm worried about. If you look at the mutant's animation, it looks very suspiciously janky, almost like the animations in underworld:ascendant. I'm scared we're going to have another non-functional "game" on our hands.

It could actually be better than the original and still no one would ever say it's better than the original.

I can see it now. Shodan is gonna be trans and did it cause her gay lover, the hacker you play as didnt return the love.

>it's a stone cold collection of data that manipulates people and only cares about its self.

No, that's not true though. Sure SHODAN isn't technically female, but she refers to herself as a "goddess," calls her children "handmaidens," and clearly refers to herself as female, even when she isn't trying to manipulate the player. Outside of the original release of SS1 which referred to Shodan as "it," Shodan is clearly a female character that just happens to have the AI background as a justification for her existing.
I'm genuinely terrified that there are Otherside employess posting this sort of shit about her character, and SS3 is going to become some sort of terrible examination of gender identity. Warren Spector did say the game was going to have a "controversial" portrayal of shodan.
If she flips to a male persona or something I'm going to get mad.

>>It could actually be better than the original
The chance of this happening is less than one in a billion, it's just not even remotely possible for this game to even come close to SS2. The idea that it could be better than the original is so laughable that I don't think there's a person alive who seriously considers it.

At absolute minimum, far too many concessions will be made in the name of "streamlining" for the game to be serviceable.

I imagine this is yet another case of some jealous woman in the character design department demanding that a fucking omniscient AI that could choose her own appearance on a whim doesn't look prettier than her.

Shodan is meant to be sexy, she's a fucking femme fatale. Why not just make her into a beep boop Microsoft sam at this point?

If I had a widows peak I’d hate humanity too, 2bh

>System Shock 1
>Most complex
LMAO, I've played all the games several times, and the ACTUAL depth in System Shock 1 is pathetic, it's actually the shallowest game in the series. The only three things SS1 is the most complex in are mazelike levels, an unintuitive inventory system and (one good thing) a less linear order in which you can sometimes do objectives.

This is the person in charge of the graphics in SS3 user. This is the person who is likely at least partially behind the way Shodan looks.

It’s all so tiresome

Sounds about right. They're going to retcon shit to make SS1 shodan male. Hamfisted identity politics are really what I want from a fucking game about a crazy AI.

What's sad is that there are so many interesting things you can do with AI from a characterisation standpoint, but fucking gender presentation is the least important garbage topic you could tackle, and it's so fucking obviously just because of current day politics.

She's a trans mtf btw.

Actual fans just gave up on the series entirely with Bioshock, SS3 is just going to be the Fallout 3 of the SS universe. An absolute garbage pile of a game that's probably beloved by a generation of kids who have never played the first two.

I couldn't be less hyped for this trash.

In all seriousness though, as much as I hate the new Shodan design and as much of a trash fire as Ascendant was, I think you guys are freaking out too soon.

Dude, SS2 is literally my favorite game and I dont need either a remake or a new title in the modern gaming enviroment.
Its whole existance is something I dont want, and it looking like fucking shit is only the cherry on top.

>how can you say it's shit if it isn't even out yet?
If it smells like shit, tastes like shit, looks like shit, and feels like shit, I'm pretty confident when I say that it's not going to be a gold bar.

I don't know why people bury their heads in the sand and pretend major warning signs don't mean anything. I'd rather be pleasantly surprised by the odd title that surpasses my expectations, instead of constantly let down by hundreds of games that had no hope of ever meeting them.

You're right. They still have plenty of time to completely rework Shodan. They're going to rework her, right?

test

It doesn't look like shit though, 99,9% of what's important is the gameplay anyway. Unity is a red flag unfortunately but we had good games done with Unity before.

The characters in the newest Pray looked like fucking SJW zombies and it was still one of the best games of the last five years.

Why do they call it SS3 if its clearly a remake of the first game

I know the team working on the game, I know the current market, I know the platforms they're targetting, none of these things add up to a happy ending. I seriously doubt the game will be as good as Prey, and Prey was an absolute fucking shitheap of a game that blew its load in the first 5 minutes and then became a meandering walk through an uninspired story with meaningless exploration.

unity shills in my Yea Forums? I'm not the least bit surprised

Its clearly a jab at judaism guys look at that nose

we need more nigga FOSHODAN memery, bros

The first five minutes were the worst parts. Completely linear and scripted. The opposite of what an immersive sim should be.

Setting the story is vital for any game, and doing it through a scripted gameplay segment is generally better than using a cutscene.

Shodan's design changes every game, I don't know what people are freaking out about. Pic related is SS1.

Attached: ShodanSS1.png (572x473, 63K)

I don't really care about the design of the face, I kinda get what they are going for. But it does feel really cheap for other reasons.
It doesn't really glitch out, the animation is way too smooth, it should be stepping frames as she stutters and it does look more expressive than it should, one unnerving thing about shodan is how calmly or low key annoyed she does things and that doesn't really come across here.

The rest of it does look cheap, I don't blame the engine for that but it's obvious that they don't have the budget to make an up to standard sequel to SS2.
There is still a decent chance that it will be good but these guys also made the trainwreck that it is Underworld Ascendant, so I'd advise y'all to be wary.

It looks like they didn't like her typically beautiful, sharp feminine features so they're going to make her look like basic and a bit fat because uh.....because like, gender norms n' shit?

Seriously, look how rounded it is.
The nose, lips, cheeks and even eyes.

If you've ever met a woman with sharp features, you know how much they stand out and how striking it is.

Attached: 1475420265190.jpg (646x605, 105K)

Shodan was male in SS1, though. They made her female with the voice patch, and then SS2 was the "correct" design to match the voice with the face. 3 is somehow even uglier than 1, which is a real achievement when you consider that she's female in 3 too. They managed to make a female robot face look less female than a male robot face.

This doesn't mean anything.

Her facial features look okay in that photo and angle with the makeup on. But her shoulders and tiny tits are telling me it could be a man. If it is a woman, she could look nice if she didn't try to look ugly.

FUCK
I'm so goddamn angry this is the SIMPLEST thing to fucking fix

They're making fun of themselves without realizing it.

Good post, I think it describes more why Shodan feels less threatening and more like an EDM event prop.

I don't think my issue in specific is how "feminine" Shodan is. Canonically, she's a malevolent piece of software, she will change her form. But Even as someone who only played SS1 and not 2, I always felt SS2 Shodan lined up with the voice acting more. So I can totally see why there's a "canon" Shodan design people stick with.
I'm not worried that "oh no it's made in Unity" or "oh no, a transvestite is doing the graphics programming". 2 seconds worth of thought shows that it's not specifically why I'd like or dislike the game.
But one user did make a point, though:
I wouldn't word it as cynical, but what does this say about the art direction? But then again, there's plenty of games that have crap character design but great environment art, so eh. Shodan just looks like you made a human face grey and screwed with facial features a bit, rathar than "mechanical and artificial overlord", but I'm not too touchy with it. Have no clue about the gameplay though, wake me up when they show that.

just make her look actualy feminine, seductive but dangerous. this made her look terryfying in the first place

This is like what happened with Mass Effect Andromeda.

Taking the ending of System Shock 2 into consideration, wouldn't her new look be influenced by the human features she inherited by hijacking Rebecca's body?

This might be just the case of releasing beta imagery before final tweaks. That's the case with a lot of games.

It's by far the best of the 2.

In fairness, at this point anyone playing SS1 will be using the source port, which by default uses this image for Shodan instead of those. For some reason they didn't bother to redraw a high resolution version of the original like all the other portraits.

Why does she look like a early 90's 3D animation?
Even if it in alpha the should be able to make a better model,why they thought showing this off would be a good idea is beyond me.

Starbreeze is too busy being in jail user.

This is the new concept they have now on the website.

I think the idea maybe is to make her more human-like in each game, which considering SS2's ending, it kinda makes sense. I'm not really into the idea myself, but maybe that's what they're going for. The spooky, barely human design in 1 is still my favourite.

It's the best one.

Classic or enhanced?

WTF that looks pretty good, why does she look nothing like this in the teaser?

enhanced has a mouselook option and good support for Windows that isn't just a dosbox wrapper
you'll find yourself switching between mouselook and regular camera often to get items and interact with the environment and your inventory/equipment (you have to click some buttons to reload)

Enhanced controls like a more standard FPS with toggleable mouse-look, like Arx Fatalis, it plays really really good, you might need some time before you get used to the UI, which it isn't bad, it's just a bit weird at first, but works very well. Classic is much clunkier to today's standards because there's no mouselook, but very much playable if you have the patience.

enhanced. it has mouse control (it makes the game much much easier) and also better resolution. the classic is just for nostalgia.

actually the enhanced controls is like system shock 2. it's more proper to say that since, you know, system shock 2 is the sequel.

Not in the UK, the tranny can go to the police if you laugh at them or look at them funny and you'll be fined at the very least, jail time and community service are likely though.
You see the way the law works in the UK is that if a minority perceives anything you as offensive to them then it's automatically a hate crime. Even if you're found to not be in the wrong, it is still recorded as a hate crime and you are still recorded as having committed one.

By different direction do you mean "doesn't have nonsensical interface design and horrible controls"? I played the demo and it's just System Shock except not designed by a 4-dimensional alien hivemind. System Shock was made by a bunch of flight simulator engineers in a time when there was no consensus on FPS design let alone 3d FPS design and it shows. The remake actually feels like you're playing a regular game, not like you're trying to decipher the functions of the hundred buttons on a remote control of a new Austrian-Japanese home entertainment center.

She's a punk rock singer now

She looks like a fish here.

It's a different team though.

>BRO I LOVE BAD CONTROLS BECAUSE MUH SOUL
lol enjoy sucking cocks

It's not just the controls. SS1 might have been a technical marvel for its time, but the gameplay just wasn't there to match. Everything from combat to cyberspace was a clumsy mess, giving any remake very little to go on.

I'm not talking this case, I'm talking about his idea that having black people at all is hamfisting them. With Shodan itself, the genuine problem is less about "the character looks black" and more about "the character doesn't look like she used to". You say Shodan is supposed to look like an asian female, but if she looked like a white female no one would have batted an eye.

Isn't the reason this project went to shit the first time was they wanted to move over to unreal from unity ?

cuphead?

wtf? the game was made in the early 90s less than one year after doom. Are you expecting the game to have current-gen controls? At the time they didn't even use mouse-look yet. fuck you, faggot.

>it's a Yea Forums still doesn't understand lens distortion episode
The original drawings of Shodan in the earlier games are ortographic projections. This one is a perspective projection and rendered from a large source in a close distance because she wants to appear as a giant staring down an insect in front of her. She's supposed to be large and in front of your face to be intimidating. If she's flat and far away you might as well be talking to a poster.

That was the remake

ss1 classic>ss1 enhanced>ss2
the game´s older than me but it´s definitely the best one, i can´t have nostalgia googles if i played it few years ago - not having a mouselook can be considered a game mechanic, i would say it even helps you immerse in the game
the controls aren´t hard to learn, stop this meme, it´s like saying the controls of deus ex are hard when they´re not.

Nightdive's incompetence with their remake of SS1 is a completely separate thing.

>That level of mental gymnastics

No, they tried to re-imagine literally every concept and location of the original mishmash of boxes and pixels as these grand AAA level artistry rivaling games like Deus Ex Human Revolution but scrapped everything because it would have literally taken hundreds of millions to actually produce. So instead of that they're actually making just a direct remake with gameplay improvements.

>They made her look scary
She's just black now, not scary. Unless you're a racist in which case it probably would be scary for someone like you.

Pretty sure that color is green though. And she doesn't sound black at all. And if I recall correctly, Shodan is rather intelligent too.

Apparently SS3 is being developed by a separate internal dev team. Probably will still be mediocre, though.

yeah. the tranny is the graphics designer.

Why would Warren Spector let them get away with that? All of the creepy super-AI in Deus Ex were male. Trying to make Shodan male as well under his supervision would be terrible representation, if that's what you think they're going for. Spector would then have in his portfolio Morpheus, Daedalus, Icarus, Helios and Shodan and all would be male. How exactly is that good representation of genders?

As far as SS1 remake is concerned

god i hope you are fucking joking. because if you are not all im ever going to see people discuss about the games are the fact it's "tranny shit" or something. all i want are the things i love to be left alone in peace, i get this creeping feeling system shock should have been left as a dead series.

Retconning SS1 to be a male shodan makes shodan trans, not male.

>He can't remember the shortcut keys for all the important enhancements
>he responds to someone supporting the concept of memorizing hundreds of keys on a keyboard instead of having anything contextual
Buy an attention span you absolute goldfish

In the original floppy version shodan is referred as it. In the cd version she was given a female voice. That user is just talking out of his ass.

saved for future "miring"

Thinking that genders can fully transition instead of becoming mutilated freaks makes a female male, not trans

Are you dumb? They intentionally made it look like a black womyn you stupid racist. To say they need to fix it is RACIST.

lol no one even said that you fat mongoloid, they're making fun of you for acting like a spazz at the thought of improving the controls in the remake, like it was some horrible crime. get some medication you freak

>Started on Unity and looked fine from the pre-alpha people got to play
Bruh, it's nothing but fluff. They probably put all their effort into this isolated demo and called it "alpha". It's "Alien: Colon Marines" level of lies.

SS2 gameplay elements were included in the kickstarter. If you go back to the interviews before the kickstarter even launched, you can see that making the game more like SS2/Dead Space than SS1 was their mindset right from the beginning.

>Everything goes silent for years
Haha what. They were quiet for a month and then came back up with a bunch of dev streams

almost every enemy is a hitscanner that just idles in a narrow corridor
doom might be less advanced technologically but the gameplay is far deeper

her model is still obviously very hideous you mongoloid

Where did I say improving the controls was bad? that was other user, you retarded faggot. What I said was in response to another user saying that the controls of the original game was purposely bad like a flight sim. You're the spazz autistic faggot.

>At this point Nightdive has blown through all the kickstarter money
If they had blown through all their money they wouldn't have started the project over a second time. They had enough of their budget left that they could put together a more faithful, smaller-scaled remake like they originally pitched.
>Everything goes silent for years
They were only "silent" for a little over a month.

Why do people purposefully spread misinformation.

They didn't fire everyone and scrap what they had when they changed engines. The team only downsized when they went on hiatus after the kickstarter money ran out (or at least got low enough that the reality of not being able to finish set it), and the hiatus was only for a few months.

I think it's about equal. The original face is grey roadkill with barf on it. SS2 face has a jew nose and a chin so sharp that it could probably lacerate spacetime itself.

it looks bretty good but basically is just preliminary footage. they have a lot to live up to being that system shock 1 and 2 are classics and the game they last released, underworld ascendant, was legit a total shit game

>the controls of the original game was purposely bad like a flight sim

>You say Shodan is supposed to look like an asian female, but if she looked like a white female no one would have batted an eye
Probably because white facial features hold a closer resemblance to asian features, to the point where in this case people would likely just wave it off as shitty modeling. Black features are so different from asian features in comparison, that it comes off as an intentional design decision, and it likely was.

>Why do people purposefully spread misinformation.
A lot of backers got very angry that they had wasted their money and make up their own narratives to try to rationalize it. It's easier for them to think Nightdive tricked them, rather than accept the reality they didn't research what they were funding.

Then how is the project still being developed if they have no money?

You're fake news.

sorry, but this still looks like a trainwreck. thank god I didn't back it.

Nightdive still makes money off their existing library of game rereleases. Not enough to fund their original AAA ambitions, but enough to gradually work on a small scale project to satisfy the kickstarter.

win

I would have backed it based on the playable demo, and I was genuinely puzzled about the insane concepts they had for the game. When the project was put on hold and restructured and I saw that they were going to make the entire game like the demo I was pleasantly surprised.

Cool, but why the fuck would they model her face like that? The 2D art on their site is quite fine.

Limit framerate.

fa ce book evan.legros

Hey they did make a lot of stupid mistakes and as a backer I'm the first one that was very pissed when I saw the terrible direction the game had gone into, but ever since they reset the project, they've been very transparent and honest about everything, and have been trying to regain people's trust ever since, so I'm willing to give them another chance. Plus what they're showing now looks fucking cool, just like the demo.

>shodan isn't sexy anymore

>The newly hired people start to distort the original design adding new stuff, more a reboot and less remake
Nightdive themselves were calling it a reboot even before the kickstarter began. Making something radically different was always part of the plan.

>Making something radically different was always part of the plan.
Clearly not, otherwise the demo wouldn't have been so faithful to the original in comparison to the direction the project was going in. All those new guys they hired were clearly more interested in developing a SS2 prequel than an actual remake of the first game.

Why was anyone even asking for a System Shock 3? LGS has been dead for decades. Is there even a modern dev who could make a worthy SS?

As far as I remember, they sometimes referred to it like a faithful reboot, whatever that means. In any case we could start arguing about what reboot means and doesn't mean but that's besides the point. I want to think the plan was always to use the Unity demo as main reference for the whole game and stick with that. The development only got slowly twisted as time went by and their monthly updates support that idea.

Warren Spector, lol.

he was producer in the first game and had nothing to do with the second.

Yes, system shock 1 is his game. System Shock 2 is Ken Levine's.

the same thing with warren spector in system shock. The director and lead programmer was another guy, Warren Spector just gave "ideas" I guess.

Elizabeth LeGross

SS3 would be better if it were a strategy game where you get to play as Shodan and you have to rewrite your own brain and exterminate all the flesh things on your station.

In other words it was excusable then and is not anymore. Better standards for controls and interface have been developed. The demo of the remake adheres to those standards.

what is there even left to do with shodan
it just feels like "DUDE remember shodan? it's system shock so we need her!!!1"

they did shodan as the enemy
then they did shodan as the unlikely ally against a common enemy thing

Why are you niggers fixated on SHODAN's nose instead of how everything else in the trailer looks like shit and SHODAN is by far the best looking thing?

back to discord you mentally ill amalgam

I know LGS was a collective effort but it still saddens me everyday that Doug Church isn't widely considered to be one of the industry's greatest visionaries like he is. It saddens me even more he doesn't direct games anymore and only takes consulting jobs.

Also, don't underestimate the role of the producer, they're far more important that what you may think and their knowledge and skill is often what separates a project from failure to success. Underworld Ascendant itself appears to be proof of that from what I know.

What is Doug Church even doing at Valve?

Germ Theory surpassed the Theory of Bad Humors and Theory of Evil Spirits. I consider the latter two to be shitty medical theories. System Shock 1 has shitty control and interface design compared to things that were designed later.
I like that too. Disconnecting mouse from looking around in order to click buttons in the character's HUD is not involved control. It's horribly inefficient design. A game like System Shock shouldn't be like EnviroBear 2000.

You know, "player needs to use limited functions of a controller to manipulate in-game interfaces in order to perform basic functions that should instead be directly mapped to the actual controller that the player is using"?

Only the visuals are though, gameplay looks very solid.

SS2 is still one of the best games you can play. The original does some stuff that works and a lot of stuff that doesn't and has one of the worst control schemes possible for the type of game it is. It's still pretty decent as a novelty but considering the sequel is the same thing improved in every way the original is fairly skippable

Good to hear that he was compensated for the work he put in at least. I remember a lot of people in the System Shock community getting annoyed that Nightdive scooped up an otherwise free project to sell on Steam.

It's still frustrating that people attribute 'Nightdive' as a collective entity on some of these releases, when it's often individual fans who put the bulk of the work in.

I completely disagree. The original game has a cool story, tense and methodic gameplay, and well designed levels.

SS1 aged poorly, but is fun in how far ahead of its time it was technologically and game design wise
SS2 shows its age but is still fucking amazing, audio design alone is one of the best ever put into a game, and if you play OSA (the mage class) gameplay is still tough fair and requires you to use brains

I don't have Yea Forums quality webms of SS2, but

There's 2 SHODAN
One is the girl who she possessed, and The Backup that was on the escape pod

step up nigga
my.mixtape.moe/wbrpte.mp4

Didn't they have the source code? Why steal other's work if they could just make it themselves?

Guys I want to get into SS. WHat should I do ? is there any mods I have to get ?

>melee kill on final boss
Only possible on NewDark engine. Those barrier objects are too narrow when mantled on from the side. The Dark Engine mantling mechanic considers there to be too little space on top for the character to fit.

interesting, thought only laser rapier could do damage to her

just buy/pirate the gog version.

pretty sure the old psi barrier step ladder trick works in any version of the game
mantling IS improved in the steam version

>get caught in the middle of two SHODANs fighting for total control

Similar thing they did for the Powerslave remaster, which still hasn't released, where they just hired the guy that was making Powerslave EX. Like you say in a way it's kind of shitty, but it also means it can have much better resources, production values and proper QA instead of just some guy on a basement doing stuff.

Now that I think about it, I also think the guy that make Doom EX is the one working on the Nightdive's Blood remaster now.

For SS1, use SS portable since the EE you can pirate is bugged to shit.
For SS2 get the NewDark patch

steam version? wtf? do you mean with the newdark engine?

alright thanks boys

>mantling IS improved in the steam version
Mantling wasn't improved until the source code was found on a Dreamcast developer disc and the unofficial patch was developed. So is the Steam version using what is basically a legal grey area?
Actually don't answer that. I have the game installed.....

>tranny shock

Nightdive only got the source code to make their own port a few years back. System Shock Portable and the Enhanced Edition are much older.

steam version is newdark, but breddy close to vanilla, no extensive bugfixing some mod packs do

COMPUTERS N SHIET

This.

There's a decent amount of people complaining about it in their Discord, who knows if they'll listen tho

I trust Warren Spector to make a good game.

Also the Turok remasters I believe. Monetizing fan projects seems to be part of their business model. The System Shock remake was the first time they tried doing something on their own, and it has hardly gone well.

That would actually be cool. So it won't happen.

I just tested it and apparently that's true. Only Newdark lets you mantle on top of narrow obstacles and into low spaces that require crouching.

>Monetizing fan projects
Hmm... that reminds me of something

you can mantle on top of psi barriers with a little elbow grease and wiggling on the original engine
SS2 mantling is itself improved over thief

it's a robe made of silk with fingerless gloves, you sperg.

Huh, didn't know Shodan was a Geisha.
Sorta surreal that a geisha wants to be a god.

This is easily the best one, they should have went with it.

Fan did this, looks a bit too blocky tho

It's related to some cut content about Shodan's in-universe original designer.

Why not keep Shodan 2D and avoid giving her textures?
Making her look realistic will only make her look like trash.
Cool, I never bothered to look at System Shock lore. But that does explain a few things about her name and looks.

did you know shodan and victoria from thief are the same person?

benis

pic was made by someone that never played SS1

is it just me or system shock 2 still looks NEAT in places?
model poly count is obviously quake 2 levels, but static moody lighting coupled with simple level geometry and crispy clean fairly low res textures still shine from certain angles
almost as if talented people made it

good use of textures and lighting

I don't express similar feelings towards thief though, hard to do believable grimy half industrial revolution half medieval city on such a primitive tech
for a sci fi space ship dark engine is perfect, and they made the most of it

Underworld Ascendant. What a piece of shit that was. This game has no chance in hell.

Dusk and BallisticNG runs stellar for unity games

Where does nu prey fall on that chart

so unity is perfect for quake 1/PS1 era graphics you're saying

Fuck him and his shitty Mickey Mouse game

it's more complex than any bioshock game

>warren spector hasn't made a good game in 18 years
it's like a band that has long past its peak but keeps pumping out terrible albums

For Dusk, sure. But BallisticNG looks amazing albeit kinda simplistic.
You can also see games like The Forest which looks and runs good.

Epic Mickey 2 was made by Warren Spector.

yeah I might check out the forest
however I've just torrented an early SCUM version to see if it's worth waiting on early access memes wise

Yeah just like Underworld Ascendant. Have you heard of it? Of course not. Nobody ever did.

I knew I sense faint smell of shit from the trailer. Now I can pinpoint what caused it.

Subnautica also runs on Unity.

Unity being bad is a meme repeated by people that have never used it.

lol

subnautica runs like shit on any system, true fact
micro stuttering galore, poor engine's being overloaded

>Subnautica
so yeah, PS1/Quake tier
