Devil’s advocate: I’d have been even more excited about Otherside’s System Shock 3 if it didn’t have revered murder-computer SHODAN in it. ‘Shock, traditionally, has been about pushing things forwards, not looking to the past, and what stronger statement could there be than to ditch its godhood-seeking figurehead? Make the big bad a disgruntled janitor named Susan instead, maybe.
But I won’t pretend that I didn’t experience a multitude of teenage kicks when I heard the returned voice of original SHODAN actor Terri Brosius, in this first teaser trailer for the belated third System Shock.
