BIOSHOCK VS SYSTEM SHOCK 2

Quizá o sin el quizá uno de los mejores juegos que he disfrutado en mi vida es sin duda System Shock 2. Podría pasar miles de horas hablando de lo bueno que es y de lo mucho que odio a EA por no haber dejado a Kevin Levine que siguiera con la saga pero hablar miles de horas acerca de cualquier cosa me parece un jodido coñazo y estoy seguro de que a vosotros también. Simplemente diré que jugandolo, no sólo lo disfrutas como un enano, si no que además debe de ser el único videojuego que viene de serie con Bífidus activo, porque mientras juegas te haces bastante caca.

Acerca de las similitudes entre Bioshock y System Shock 2, su creador tiene algo que decir.

Ken Levine: If you look at BioShock from a hardcore gamer perspective, it’s everything that we wanted both System Shocks to be in terms of visuals and depth; it’s just that we didn’t have the resources possible back then to do it. I don’t know how far you got in the first demo, or with Arcadia, but the amount of depth is where we want it to be. There’s the idea, not just of numbers and polygons and what’s under the hood, but what you can do in battle.

The problem was that he didn’t want Shock 2, he wanted more of Shock 1. And he was upset. And I think that the question is: do you want a new experience that evolves past what you’ve already done? Maybe you guys are in a better position to ask yourselves that. And are you moving that genre ahead? It’s not so much about trying to make another game that’s like something else, but deepening the genre of game that you’re developing, such as by giving the player choice within the game space.
