Character models have been cleaned up, but the game looks like it'll essentially be the same as the beloved original, if these scenes are anything to go by.You could argue that a certain something is lost in the cleaned-up scenes, as the grain in the original allows your imagination to fill in some details--but it's clear that work has gone in to bring this release up to modern standards.

Mamma mia! Dusk, a delightfully retro first-person shooter first released in 2018, is adding a new endless level in the form of a Super Mario homage. Announced at developer 3D Realms' Realms Deep event over the weekend, the new level turns Super Mario 64's iconic castle into a "Flesh Palace" full of monsters to explode into glorious low-poly particle effects.While the trailer kicks off with some iconic Super Mario music and sound effects, the comments clarify that the Mario sounds won't actually be included in the level release. The second half of the video should give you an idea of how the music and sound effects will actually sound.Even without ripping Mario's iconic sound design, however, it's unsure if this monstrous version of Peach's castle will manage to get past Nintendo's notoriously aggressive lawyers--especially as the level is planned to be released exclusively for Nintendo's own console. A comment on the video from publisher New Blood Interactive reads "please don't sue us Nintendo."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

I'm not trying to be cynical or hide something; it's about creating a feeling of value."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

It's been a while since we've had a look at Nightdive Studios' System Shock Remastered, but the wait was well worth it. Two new videos posted by the remaster-specializing studio show a satisfyingly gory dismemberment system, as well as our first look at how players will traverse cyberspace in 2020.The System Shock remake was funded through an incredibly successful Kickstarter back in 2016, but has been pushed back a number of times. After a long hiatus, the project re-emerged this year, ready to share the progress that has been made since we last heard from the System Shock Remastered team.Most recently, we're getting a look at two new systems for the game--the first is a Dead Space-esque dismemberment, which is fitting given that Dead Space has its roots in the System Shock franchise.
