System Shock - SHODANFreeman - 05-25-2010
This is totally unlikely to ever happen, but if EA were to make a System Shock 3, how would you feel about Frictional being given the reigns?
I think Frictional could make an awesome, and very scary, System Shock 3 if they had the chance, and are one of the few developers I think could honestly pull it off.
What do you guys think?

meh system shock is basically bioshock, only difference is system shock had a good sequel

System Shock 3 is BioShock. The only difference is that BioShock is dumbed down remarkably.

...and completely different characters, setting, and story.

I do believe this would be awesome. The System Shock games are great.

As much as I like System Shock 2 I'd prefer something new and original instead of a third game. But if Frictional Games somehow got to do System Shock 3 I think they would do a good job. That's no guarantee of a good game, though, because with making a big budget game comes the guys in the suits who wants a say in everything. FG would probably be forced to make a dumbed down action game out of it.

Well, this is a hypothetical, so let's assume that they get total control of the license without the suits that come with it.

I know there are similarities, because if you couldn't tell, I'm a huge System Shock fan, but saying Bioshock is System Shock 3 makes me rage a little bit, because it's not, at all.

I've but watched a LEt's Play of SS2. I've never been able to actually play it, but considering that the story and gameplay unfolds in exactly the same way but worse maybe it's not a bad SS3, but rather a bad SS2 clone.
