System Shock 2 Rerelease/Remake?

Is there any chance of a SS2 Release Via Steam or GOG.com? If not, what about an HD remake? Im sure alot of fans have wondered the same thing

Don't know how much it will help, but you can vote for SS2 to be on GOG.com here:

It's currently in the lead

And these aren't exactly HD remakes, but there are some mods which add higher quality textures, skins, and music here:

SS2 Rebirth Beta 01 - Complemented Version

SS2 SHTUP (Shock Texture Update Project)

SS2 Schatten SHMUP (Shock Music Update) V1.1

Straylight's Anomalies, Discrepancies and outright Bugs mod

Best thing would be for a re-release via giving us the source code which I have another thread about on here.

Can I be the first to suggest that a console port (PS3/X360--not one or the other, but both) would be appreciated as well? After all, why should PC users have all the fun?

I was thinking PC only, because unless they do a complete UI overhaul, the console port will be an annoying bitch to play thru

Wii port. Logical conclusion.

that's what would happen if activision had the liscence. Following that, we'd get a Von Braun tycoon game, and then a kart racer, with shodan just being a pc moniter with hands and legs. Like rayman

I know this sounds weird, but it'd be nice to see System Shock 2 using the same technology as Bioshock; Unreal 3 Engine. It would mean that you'd have to create new assets, but it would be nice to see.

after playing around with a certain game, i can give an idea of what a 2k port would look like. BORDERLANDS. that would make the most sense, wouldnt it? you get your limited inventory, skill points (psi.....something or other in ss2), tweak a little with the classes, and add in psi powers, and your halfway there! hell, they could just call it "Neoshock" or "Psishock", plus, as It'll please nomar too, cause it uses unreal 3 as well! just take off the cel shaded filter (or have an option to leave it on, stylish ) i dont know, i partook in the peace-pipe earlier, so i might be talking out of my ass, but what do you think?

Releasing an XBLA/PSN version of System Shock 2 is out of our hands as Irrational Games doesn't own the IP or the code.
