We like System Shock, after all, and I’m a pretty big fan of Dota 2. If it happens, though, it’s almost certainly going to be a day one purchase for me. We also proposed the idea to Valve, but before diving right into production they asked us to approach you, the DotA2 community to get your opinion. A psychic monkey courier? It could happen.Ĭonsidering how much love (Stockholm syndrome?) gamers of a certain age have for SHODAN, it’s a project that’ll have to be approached carefully unlike a lot of packs that can get away with over-the-top comedy, this is going to need some precise balance. Weve been in contact with Terri (the voice of SHODAN), and Eric Brosius (Sound engineer from SS2) and they are both on board with the project. On the plus side, when someone mentioned packaging the announcer pack with a System Shock 2-themed HUD and courier, Kick seemed pretty optimistic about the possibility. Even just the basic lines in SHODAN’s unique voice and cadence would be preferable to it being humorous. I confess to being a little concerned, if only because delving too deep into in-jokes and self-referential humour will both lessen SHODAN’s presence and stray too close to the GLaDOS announcer pack. If you didn’t know that, you should go and buy System Shock 2 right now, insect. For the uninitiated, SHODAN is the malevolent, superior AI that both opposes and assists you in System Shock and System Shock 2, and is one of the most terrifying antagonists in gaming.
