System Shock 2 was a great game for its time, only out done by deus ex. However, not really sure what would make it worth playing in the current market place.

I'm conflicted, since I liked both a ton.

As to what would make it worth playing in the current marketplace? Good game mechanics, an engaging story, choices that matter (ie. not like Mass Effect 3 ending) and plain just liking System Shock, SHODAN and the scifi theme.

Yea, I guess.  This is probibly a minority opinion around here, but I've lost all taste for single player games, no matter how good they are.

Hard to say, are survival games still  in?
For me it was the mix of game mechanics and story. There was one huge level to explore (well with loading screens between the different decks), a light rpg system for your character (no jack of all trades), the limited inventory (so you cloud not carry everything and had to store your stuff somewhere else), the small stories and messages of the other crew members and the one thing that was quite new in fps games, you was able to climb on larger boxes or ledges.
Well, Shodan, i am not sure about her. I know she has survived in the implants of Rebecca, but the third time as villain might be a bit boring.

But maybe it is just the spacezombie thing. For example i did not really like Bio Shock 1, which was basically System Shock 2 with a different setting (minus the rpg part, the inventory, without Shodan and another ending). Dead Space on the other hand was great, it still lacks Shodan and the huge single level, but the rest is like in System Shock (oh and it has a similar story like Mass Effekt but a far better ending).

I think SS3 has a lot to offer the current market, I've thought to myself many times over the years that we haven't seen anything quite like SS2 since.

Would honestly prefer a SS3 without Shodan though. I mean Shodan is awesome but...we still need something new. Maybe Shodan could have an easter egg cameo at best or so.

Why?

Wouldn't that be like making a Halo game without Master Chief and the naked blue hologram? A Bond movie without Bond?

I'm all for new things, but without Shodan or a connection to the previous games they might as well make something completely new. Actual new IP. That would have my full support as well.

There is a SS world without Shodan though. It would be more like making a Deus Ex game without JC Denton. Or a Bond movie without Spectre/Spectre members. Or a Star Wars movie without the Sith. Doable and should work.

Eh, it could work as a game, but I don't see how it would be better than new IP or a game with the elements that made SS good. And the world outside the core story of SS is not really that developed. I guess that means that there's free room, but not really anything interesting to work with either.
