System Shock 2 Enhanced?

Posted by simoniker on from the shock-to-the-system dept.

Mathias Wittlock writes "Etienne Aubert has created a mod for the classic System Shock 2 which replaces all models with much better looking, higher polygon ones. Maybe a reason to pick up this game again?" You can also find more info about this classic Looking Glass-legacy title at fan site Sshock2.com - and this is yet another good mod for an older game.

  1. Cool, but will they update the environments? by Bagels · · Score: 3, Interesting

    These new models look quite cool, but it would also be nice to update some of the inanimate objects (or, if they're being thrown around by explosions, technically animate) and textures - in the screenshots, the models look just a tad incongruous, simply because they're so much more detailed than their surroundings. BTW, System Shock 2 is now considered abandonware (as already mentioned, its makers went bankrupt), so you can find it on most abandonware sites. Technically speaking, that's not legal, but I believe most of these sites get permission from the original creators of any games they put up.
