We interviewed Warren Spector while at ECGC earlier this year, primarily speaking to him about the days of working at Origin Systems with Richard Garriott and Chris Roberts. Spector also took a moment, though, to mention that he'd been working on a new System Shock game. At that time, Spector noted that the state of design was largely relegated to notes and concepting – but a lot has changed in a few months.
System Shock now has a gameplay video out, spotted on Polygon's YouTube channel, and spotlights FPS-style gameplay with the CyberPunk aesthetic that made the first game popular. And, just as a refresher, that first game was released in '92.
Here's the gameplay footage, via Polygon:
This preview precedes the System Shock kickstarter campaign kicking-off tomorrow (and coinciding with the RX 480 launch, in a totally unrelated note). Spector will no doubt be building his content and team as the Kickstarter gets underway.
