Through the Looking Glass has posted a new editorial in the Taffer's Post dealing with System Shock 2, and the game it could have been. Here is a short take :
Let's move on to plot elements that just don't work for the fiction. Shock 1 took place in a cyberpunk universe. Shock 2 was much too Star-Trek slash Babylon 5 for my tastes (nothing against Trek or B5, mind you) with the whole military shebang and interplanetary travel and such. Cut UNN and the FTL drive totally out of the equation. Let's say that TriOptimum cashed in on the media frenzy surrounding the Citadel disaster, twisted the facts, and made themselves look like angels. TriOptimum is huge, powerful, and almighty. Okay, now the player character is not a military officer, and not made by SHODAN. Who are we then? | Source: TTLG News |
