Short version, there's probably no reason to pre-order the remake What pastel palette enemies? They changed the enemy designs? One of the modders whose work is being featured in SS2EE is actually on this forum pretty regularly. I'm guessing if an Unreal Engine 4 game is a problem for you then you probably don't care about VR though. Originally posted by ULTRA Outdoorsman:You can actually mod in pretty much everything from the enhanced edition into SS2 yourself already except for the pastel-palette enemies and VR. Regardless, if this isn't true then the distinction still stands: it will not come out before System Shock remake, but don't be surprised if it really isn't finished even by the time that game comes out. I suspect SS2 Enhanced Edition has actually been done for a year or more and it's currently just gated behind the remake which is 5 years late this December and has no real release date. In fact, if I remember right, DOOM 64 (by Nightdive again) only opened up for DOOM Eternal pre-orders when that game released, despite most of the DOOM 64 work having been done over a decade prior. As far as I know there's no precedent for a company offering another game up as a pre-order bonus and access actually being availed before the game the pre-order is on. Small correction though, the real answer is, 'no sooner than System Shock remake hits,' because since they've offered it as a pre-order bonus for that game, they technically can't actually offer it up on Steam until it's finished because that would release their pre-order income from escrow. After that it's going to be a standalone sale right?

It's currently a pre-order bonus.īeen some rumblings that they're getting closer on that lately, but no date yet, to my knowledge. Originally posted by Lord Of Dorkness:When the System Shock 1 Remake hits.
