System overclock: engage.

System Shock: Enhanced Edition, the seminal horror FPS/RPG (or "immersive sim", if you're being fancy), has been further enhanced with the Source Port free update. It's also 50% off until September 17th, 3 pm UTC.

The game has been rebuilt from its original source code and it packs some pretty shocking improvements, including 4K resolution support, official support for fan missions and mods, smoother camera rotation, improved control scheme, support for both Direct3D and OpenGL, mouselook support, plus it fixes some of the bugs still scurrying about since the game's original release!

That should be enough to make even Shodan smile. Before she tries to kill you again, of course.

Awesome.

You should probably have fixed the glaring issue (especially for Galaxy users) where the game will give you "Error!" and quit if you install and run the game from Program Files (x86) before you made this announcement... it's still not playable from a default install from Galaxy... you have to manually move the game folder to the root of C in order to play it... check the game forum for all the talk about it

No, you can install it in C:/GOG Games/.

Yes, yes, YES!!!

The 'buy the same game over and over again' circus must go on!

Something is rotten in a state of modern gaming industry... The neverending flood of 'enhanced remakes' is a glaring proof of impotency and lack of fresh ideas. And why should one try to bring something really new while it needs much less time and toil just to sell the same good old thing wrapped in shiny new foil?

People just became fat and lazy, they just don't know how to run their beloved old games on newer systems.
Well, are you lazy? So take out your wallet!

Right... but I'm saying, the default for Galaxy is in Program Files (x86)... so if a user installs it in there it won't work... and since it's the default install location...

I'm not sure how this applies here, to be honest. This is a free update.

well, nice job gog, the changes were so cool that the guy didn't believe it was an update. :D

Sweet. Thanks for the free update.

This new source port is fantastic.

For one, you get an actual Reload button (as well as instant pickup). Finally reconfigured to play with the gamepad (semi-)comfortably.

It's not well presented. The store page appears to show this as new game to buy and if you goto library nothing in the library is marked as new/updated. I can find it if I search but it's not flagged as new/updated and hence I would have jumped to the same conclusion as this poster. Please sort your update system out as this is not the first item updated which doesn't get flagged or marked - dying light for instance.

You really should take your time to read all the ins and outs before decinding to go on a rampage.

This FREE update follows the open source move of the game... so yeah...
