As the title says, the remake of System Shock, a 1994 first person-cyberpunk-survival-horror-shooter-hacker-diehard-on-a-space-station is on kickstarter at the moment, in their video, the developers discuss VR as being one of their stretch goals.
This game is a perfect fit for VR IMO, the level of immersion it gave back when the original came out was incredible, combine this with modern graphics + VR and....wow.
There is also an alpha demo you can try, I used virtual desktop to play it with my CV1 - far from ideal but even that experience go me excited with the possibilities..
The original System Shock was technically one of the earliest VR games out there, boasting Forte VFX1 support - stereoscopic 3D, head-tracking, the works.
It would only be befitting for the remake to follow up on that with Rift and Vive support, and given that the pitch video shows the dev team using a DK2 and even a DK1 and Gear VR in the background for added effect, I'm not too worried about that.
Thanks for the heads-up! I've got it on "Remind Me" status for now. I will definitely back it if/when VR support is official, but if not... even though I know it would be an awesome game, I don't really need any more flat-screen games. That's SO early-2016.
They've done a pretty good job so far. The demo is cool. Apart from the low res textures, it looks great.
I remember when SS first came out. I was in my third year of engineering college. The other students didn't like SS because the starting weapon was a pipe, they wanted a gun as the first weapon like in Doom. Yeah, seriously.
