So it's not a stupid soup of mods from various places, but a well-balanced kit made by experienced people with good taste and combined by other talented guys who clearly (and hopefully) know what they are doing. The Quest notifier is another useful thing that just fits, and I would recommend anyone using it. Thankfully they are not gonna include Rebirth mod which doesn't fit. The texture and music mods leave everything as it was but increases the quality: the game would look and sound much worse on modern PCs if you leave the original assets. SCP fixes thousands and thousands of those small issues. It's a dilemme whether to leave what is clearly wrong (floating object, wrong texture placement thus overlapping, broken script due to a typo) because "that was the devs' vision" or to fix them. As a veteran shocker I have to admit most of these mods don't change estetics of the game, but rather fix and polish what was left as it were due to the devs were in a rush. This will be some players' first experience with the game and they will see it not how the devs intended it rather how some modder thinks it should be. Why are usermods being included with this port is beyond me let alone the fact that none of these are purist friendly. We’ve added more detail to both the poly model and the texture while retaining as much of the original as possible.
Here is a quick look at the before and after of the protocol droid.
Grosnus' Hi-Res Spinning Marine/Navy/OSA logos Vurt's Space Textures, Flora, Hi-res Water, Organics/GooĪCC's Four Hundred (400) Hi-res Terrain Textures All the character and weapons models are being remade, and we’ve received permission from the Shock community to include many of the mods that have become standard for many Shock 2 veterans. This will be a complete source port to our KEX engine. SS2:EE has evolved into more than what we were intending. It’s our intention to release both System Shock remake and SS2:EE around the same time.
We’d also like to announce that anyone who pre-orders System Shock remake will receive System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition for free and ALL Kickstarter/Backerkit backers who backed at the $30 level or higher will also be receiving SS2:EE for free.
