System Shock Gameplay Shown in Video Preceding Launch of Kickstarter

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.
