SS2Tool and SHTUP

I would like to point out that SS2Tool is a very real thing, and that it makes System Shock 2 playable on modern Windows platforms (Windows 7 for example). Also pay attention to SHTUP, the Shock Texture Upgrade Project, which revamps the admittedly a little dated SS2 graphics and makes them a little sharper.

Even now, the original SS2 graphics look good, but they are clearly from an era when polygons were haute couture. Compared to SHTUP, the un-retouched cutscenes are almost laughable.

Except nothing in System Shock 2 is worth laughing at.

Nothing.
