When I last tried playing SS1 about 3 years ago there was a pretty good - though not perfect - mouse control mod/patch that made it an enjoyable game with a minimum of technical annoyances. Instead, getting about in SS1 involved either using a huge number of keys, or the most awkward mouse controls ever (until the Level Up screen in Skyrim on PC, that is). Developers hadn't really figured out how to integrate mouse controls in such a way that you couldn't do without them. Back then, first person games were largely keyboard-only affairs, with the view locked straight ahead. The default controls for SS1 are backward, cumbersome, and confusing, even by 1993 standards. It adds to your Shock 2 experience I'd say.ĭitto on what some other posts mention. Still I think you should try it or - if you can't handle it - read a summary or watch a playthrough. But now it's perfectly playable.īack to your question, you don't need to have played it. Just managed to get the mouse look option in System Shock Portable working, although it made no sense that it didn't work before and does now. Are there any ways of getting around those controls and enable something that's more like freelook? I'd love to play it again if the controls weren't so horrible by today's standards (Warcraft 1 style ^^).Įdit: Forget what I said. I just can't get past the "click on the edge of the screen to turn around or strafe" - "also use your cursor to aim at enemies" any more.
But there's one issue I have with Shock 1 today. ^^ It's a great game and I don't really care about fancy graphics if the game doesn't have the need to rely on those. I played the first System Shock back in the 90's and it gave me nightmares.
