The hype is building inside me for the System Shock [Official Site] reboot, it certainly sounds and looks good and they continue to confirm Linux support.
In the latest update on Kickstarter, they shared a video where they talk about some concept art and it's all really damn impressive. On top of that, they continue to confirm Linux will be supported:
Q: Will System Shock be Mac compatible?
A: Yes. Mac, Linux, and Windows
Here's the video for those interested in what's going on behind the scenes:
Direct Link
They have no release date yet in mind, as it's still quite early in development. They're still gathering funds directly from their site, where they have a stretch goal of $200K to add modding support.
Staying slightly on topic, we're still waiting on the Linux version of System Shock: Enhanced Edition that they said was coming to Linux, they also need to fix the Linux download of System Shock 2 (which uses Wine) on Steam, which they are aware of and still looking into.

(I can't help but wonder whether someone could do the same for the first Deus Ex....)
I first played that on the PlayStation 2, and was surprised how much better it looked than the Windows version, when I finally saw the latter. I don't know why they never ported the improvements back over.
This looks really good. (I can't help but wonder whether someone could do the same for the first Deus Ex....)
That would be absolutly wonderful and I can't help but feel that the general interest & appeal would be even greater than this SS-remake.
Sure, I know modders have done a fantastic job of updating and improving the original Deus Ex but the idea of a truly *modern* version, like this current Nightdive project, makes me positivly giddy with excitement.
