Nightdive Prepares September’s Adventure Alpha For ‘System Shock’ Remake
Keeping to their word, Nightdive Studios have been regularly keeping backers and fans up to date with their progress on their remake of System Shock. This month’s update is particular noteworthy, as not only do we get screenshots, more concept art and assets, but also details on Nightdive’s upcoming “Adventure Alpha”.
What is the Adventure Alpha, you ask? Besides being Nightdive’s September milestone, this is essentially a slice of the game’s first level, and will be “reminiscent” of the original with its difficulty set to zero. You’ll be able to explore Citadel Station, listen to audio logs, and complete objectives without being pursued by hostile enemies. Nightdive hopes to have everything on that wrapped up by September. The team have also managed to apply the original game’s upscaled textures to the levels to give you an idea of just what the original game would look like on modern hardware.
Nightdive also says to be aware that for the level’s textures that “these are the original textures [from the original game] and not the final art! Not only will it make the Adventure Alpha more interesting but it will provide the team with a blueprint of how to approach updated art, lighting, level design.”
Head over to Nightdive’s Kickstarter to check out the rest of the screenshots.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
