Whether that extends to the long-forgotten PC-9801 port is a question no one needs to know the answer to. System Shock: ReWired even brings fans some completely new goodies: three additional non-linear stages, four more cyberspace stations, extra puzzles and (currently read-only) audiologs, and bless the gaming gods, Lansing says it's compatible with every version of System Shock in existence. He spent four months whipping up an entire single-player campaign that creeps into the same hellish recesses as the original game. Just ask Joey Lansing, the creator of a mod for 1994 action-adventure System Shock.

I just couldn't resist.Once unleashed, the power of fandom is a force that can't be stopped. Yes, I'm aware that a SHMUP is usually something different. SHMUP is a simple replacer mod, which means it is compatible with every mod that doesn't change the original music of the game.ĭue to my poor bandwidth, I decided to make it available as a seed on the StrangeBedfellows torrent tracker (thanks Kolya). Make System Shock 2 mod-ready, then extract the contents of the ZIP file into the game's root directory. It would reduce the overall quality of the track and make this whole thing rather pointless. This hiss is already present in the mixes, and I didn't want to remove it. You may also note a hiss on some tracks, although it's not quite as bad as in the orignal ADPCM wavs. Although the conversion increases the file size without any quality gain, this was necessary for technical reasons: If I hadn't done this, those files would play at double speed. This has happened when the respective section was not present in Eric's arrangement, and thus could not be recreated. In some cases I had to convert the original soundfiles to 44kHz PCM waves without any other changes. The arrangements MysteryDev provided did not offer clean sections of every sound-snippet the game uses, so in some cases I had to adapt and make some minor changes.

To make use of them for an updated in-game soundtrack, I had to split most of them into smaller bits, so the DarkEngine song format could play them.

The tracks were original arrangements by Eric Brosius, mixed as full songs. I made a small mod so you can enjoy the high quality music in the game. ( As discussed on TTLG.)Īpril 23rd 2007 'MysteryDev' provided a high quality version of the System Shock 2 soundtrack in a thread on the TTLG forums. This mod enhances the sound quality of the music in SS2.
