    I've been playing Dishonored lately, and I feel like Dishonored is to Thief as Bioshock is to System Shock 2.

      @bobo I'm glad we haven't gotten a soulless AAA System Shock remake

        @northernnarwhal System Shock 2 is hard for me to play, as some of the mechanics are terribly dated. If SS2 was ever remade, I would want it to be handled by a team that knows what they're doing when it comes to understanding what made games like SS2 great.

          @bobo The people who made Bioshock would be nice.
          Or Frictional... But, Frictional doesn't make shooters.

            @metaltao Irrational Games fell through a year ago, so the first option won't happen.

                @metaltao Some of the former Irrational members moved on to Question Games, who recently starting developing The Magic Circle, which is a great game, really.

                  @bobo *The Magic Circle is a finished game, I thought it was still in Early Access.

                  @bobo Aye... Well! I wish them luck! And, I would check this game out, I think Jim went over it? http://pny.lv/s0rq

                    @metaltao Jim went over it, yes. I personally think it's a great game, but the focus is certainly on the story. However, you could argue that the mechanics provide enough replay value to warrant a second look, certainly.

          @bobo I'm one of those people who goes by the philosophy "good writing can save anything" and the writing and atmosphere of SS2 trumps its dated gameplay for me.
