Feder also asked backers to share the news about the PS4 support to make the System Shock remake more awesome. "The more we're able to raise, the better the game will be. Please tell your friends about us, share this news about the PS4 support," the director said.

Furthermore, more pledges will ensure that the game will function smoothly and relatively bug-free in all gaming platforms.

System Shock remake is expected to become available "around Q1 2018," Feder told in PlayStation Blog. For those who want see the game early, Steam, GOG, and Humble are now offering a free demo for PC users. The demo takes about 500 MB of space and offers about 10 minutes of gameplay.

On the other hand, another '90s video game is also set to make a comeback. Grasshopper Manufacture recently released the first trailer for the HD remaster of their 1999 debut title, The Silver Case.

The trailer features improved character designs and music. It also showcases the title's unique presentation system known as "Film Window," where the story moves through dialogues and texts, as per report from Polygon.
