The \"System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition\" will be playable in VR and, as the responsible Night Dive Studios promise, we will be offered a fully-fledged VR implementation that we can definitely look forward to.<\/p>\n
To make a really good VR version possible, a separate team is taking care of it. The whole thing is therefore not being developed as a by-product of the normal \"System Shock 2\". Stephen Kick, CEO of Night Dive Studios, said: \"During the process of reverse-engineering the missing libraries for System Shock 2, we had the opportunity to play around with the idea of creating a standalone VR version. And so we brought in a VR expert to look at the dataset and give us a brief idea of what kind of things we could do.\"<\/p>\n
According to Stephen Kick, \"System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition\" will be fully playable in VR, along with the game's multiplayer mode. This means that co-op in VR can be played across platforms, with one gamer playing in VR and another on a PC without a VR headset. In any case, the creators want to create a \"truly remarkable VR experience developed from the ground up\".<\/p>\n
\"When you're in VR, you're the one actually wielding the weapons, you're reloading the weapons yourself, you're not just pressing a button and having the character automatically reload the weapon,\" says Stephen Kick, for whom \"Half-Life: Alyx\" is an inspiration. \"Half-Life: Alyx has simply become indispensable for conveying the feeling that you're there. Things like being able to pick up items from a distance was really important in Half-Life: Alyx, and that's something you can do in System Shock VR as well.\" \"System Shock 2 VR\" is still in the prototype stage, which is why the VR version will not be released together with the normal \"System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition\".<\/p>\n
