If you were a lover of first - person shootervideo gamesin the mid-’90s , you may remember 1994 ’s System Shock . And if you remember it , chances are you remember it very lovingly , and thus will be very excited to pick up that Binge has denote a alive - action TV adaptation of the cult - classiccyberpunkgame for its coming , secret plan - inspired - amusement streaming service .
bring out in 1994 and set in 2072 , System Shock pitted a nameless hacker against a malicious and increasingly unhinged AI named SHODAN and her legion of killer cyborgs , killer robots , and killer mutant while trapped on a giant space post . Here , ascertain out some footage from the 2015 remaking System Shock : Enhanced Edition from Nightdive Studios :
As you may see , it ’s a very evocative setting , but like most classic first - mortal shooters there ’s not a gross ton of narrative to it . The role player gets fed data and mission objectives from Rebecca Golding , a “ TriOptimum counter - terrorism consultant ” ( TriOptimum have the space station ) , which are mainly about thwarting the myriad slipway SHODAN plans to attack humanity . There are also various logarithm disc and emails the player can determine , that flesh out the employment and the animation of the people on the blank space station before they were murdered / mutated , which sure enough add some depth , but there ’s going to demand to be a lot added to turn this into a TV show .

The reason I ’m hedging my bet and saying System Shock may get a telly series is because I ’m slightly questioning of Binge ’s ability to … uh … survive . The service was announced this preceding June , and despite supposedly coming in 2022 , it ’s only revealed one other series based on Driver , another old TV game series . Two shows do not a streaming Robert William Service make , and Binge has released no other details about what ’s coming other than “ single shows , premium channel , and original live - action serial where your favorite games fall to lifetime ” which is passing undefined , particularly when 2022 is just around the corner .
Hopefully I ’m wrong and we ’ll all be enjoying System shock absorber : The TV Series on Binge sometime next twelvemonth . But I do n’t believe I ’ll be holding my breath .
