Night Dive’s remaster of the classic System Shock has achieved its funding goal on Kickstarter. It managed to earn $947,221, well ahead of its $900,00 funding goal, with 18 days still to go. More than 15,000 people have backed the title thus far.

A demo for System Shock Remastered is currently available on Steam, GOG and Humble, providing a “proof of concept” for those who want to back the project. Keep in mind that this demo doesn’t represent final performance, features and visuals.

Along with a remastered version of System Shock, Night Dive is also busy working on a full sequel in the form of System Shock 3. Warren Spector, who had a hand in the original game, is working with the studio to handle development of the sequel.

What are your thoughts on both the remake and sequel? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more information in the coming months.

Night Dive’s remaster of the classic N64 exclusive dinosaur hunting game, Turok, will be launching on December 17, the company announced today. The remaster is launching on PC via Steam, GoG, and The Humble Store. Hopefully it also launches on the consoles eventually.

We also got a brand new trailer for the game, which showcases just how far the visuals of the title have come since the original launched almost 20 years ago. Turok was originally released on the N64, and as with all early 3D games, it has aged pretty poorly. We also get to see what gameplay changes the developer has made for this version of the title.

Check out the trailer below. Have you played the original Turok? What did you think of it? Will you be buying the remaster? Let us know in the comments below, and stay tuned to GamingBolt for more coverage and information on the game.

CEO Stephen Kick also talked about maintaining the aesthetic of the original game while re-imagining it for a new generation. To ensure this, Night Dive has System Shock concept artist Robert Waters on board along with several other original team members.

“We have been in contact with members of the original System Shock team and any future iterations of the System Shock games. And by this I mean both new titles in the series as well as major updates to the existing games, will be very true to the spirit of the originals.”

If the System Shock remake succeeds, we can only hope that System Shock 3 isn’t too far behind.
