System Shock 3 is probably not in development anymore - pohllectifes

An anonymous meeting place poster who claims to have worked on System Shock 3 says the game is no longer in ontogenesis, following the financial crisis at publisher Starbreeze and resale of the System Offend rights to developer OtherSide.

VGC has a rundown of the different older staff who experience left OtherSide in recent months, which include System Shock 3 design managing director Chase Jones, the author & director, lead programmer, senior environment creative person, and others totalling about a dozen employees.

Finished on RPGCodex, a forum poster going by Kinsperson Corn Karn says that "everyone along the content side is zero longer with the studio," and that System Shock 3 was not in a state that could simply be handed off to a new team without engineering support.

"Most of the work is content development, which we were critically behind in, both in existent assets and in creature support for an efficient pipeline," Kin Clavus Karn wrote January 31.

"If Starbreeze hadn't kaput into crisis I think we would've delivered something interesting with any fresh and innovative gameplay," the poster continued. Merely System Shock 3 was never going to make up a grown, triple-A game: instead, it was going to fetch up being "a untold small game than what people were expecting and inevitably disappointing for a sequel to such a beloved franchise."

You whitethorn recall that System Shock 3 had been looking at nice and spooky back when this trailer came away in Exhibit:

That trailer set expectations beautiful high, however.

"We were a itty-bitty team and knew we couldn't vie with rife immersive sims in production lineament and breadth," Kit up Indian corn Karn wrote, "indeed we had to be creative and clever and uncanny. And we were on our way to seduce something unique and possibly amusing, simply probably non what the hearing was hungry for."

There's been no official word on the cancellation operating theater suspension of System Take aback 3, only Kit up Indian corn Karn says the team "is no longer employed at that place."
