System Shock 2 is one of the classiest FPS/RPG hybrids. Created by Looking Glass and Irrational Studios, this masterpiece made us fall in love with Shodan, featured a big twist regarding the entity helping the player, and was one of the few games sporting action role-playing and survival horror elements in a first person shooter.
Although there have been various HD Texture Packs for it, we cannot deny that System Shock 2 looks really, really dated. So what if this classic was remade in a current-gen engine? Polycount‘s member ‘Mr Smo’ gives us a glimpse at such a project.
Despite its current ‘WID’ state, Mr Smo’s map look incredible. This map is inspired by a concept by JimHatama, is built in CRYENGINE, and will replicate a very memorable scene from that classic shooter.

IF this would actually happen…..it would be EPIC!
It would be pretty, but I bet you the gameplay would be shit.
Uh, well… yes – it could look a great deal better.
Imagine the amazing revolution we could reap if only old games were recreated using modern technology. Mario Bros. in the Cryengine? In iOS? Yes, please!
I believe someone is already doing the Mario Bros game. I remember seeing a prototype video for it.
Come on Ken Levine, bring us System Shock 3.
Nice work!
Yet another “X” game that would look like in “Y” engine.. But hell yeah, who wouldn’t wan’t another System Shock game? The second one scared the bejesus outta me at times…
I really wish this was a real game.

I agree, where the grime and dirt that was in the original. It also looks brighter than the original too. But it does look good.
