This will be a VLP, with updates consisting of videos of about 20-25 minutes in length. I envy those of you who haven't played this game yet, for you have quite an experience still waiting for you, if you should seek it. The game implements elements of survival horror (scarce ammo, puzzles, frightening sequences, inventory system), RPGs (character stat growth, customization, skill trees, spell systems) and hell even platformers(The Many, )!

However, the game did not catch on until it was too late, and it never became what could be considered a financial success. Critics hailed the game as revolutionary, and even today it holds a secure spot on the top of many peoples' lists of all time favorite games.

In 1999, Looking Glass and Irrational Games tried again, and developed an entirely new story in the same universe as their last game, and carried on the spirit of a genre-spanning adventure with System Shock 2. The story of a rogue artificial intelligence being thwarted by the efforts of a courageous hacker simply went unheard. Though it offered true 3D and a deep story with fresh mechanics, the game simply didn't sell.

Some artists and users have been criticizing the use of AI art and how models like Midjourney are trained on other people’s work since last year’s ArtStation controversy. But this will never be at the expense of using skilled people or their creative talents.” The System Shock developers said they never wanted to use AI to create artwork instead of using real people: “We will use AI again to create other pieces (including artwork). SHODAN – the AI from the game – was one of the first examples of “AI running amok” in video games (albeit a concept pioneered by HAL-9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey movie) /ymtzzp1l55 “Doesn’t get more meta than that… which was the entire point of starting the conversation,” the message reads.
