Anyone who has played System Shock 2 will remember The Many, one of the coolest video game villains ever.

Here is a 30 second youtube clip showcasing their awsomeness.

Almost all entertainment has elements from things that have come before.

Apparently, everything is a blatant rip-off of System Shock 2, including games made by its original developers...

It's an amazing game, and it's ripping off an amazing game, so in the end, who really gives a flying darn?

They mentioned it on the 1up yours podcast. Makes sense since EA owns the SS ip.

It's EA what did you expect? At least it is a good game though.

The video is showing The Many communicating with you telepathically saying awsome crap.

In their super cool creepy voice too.

They are just a mass of flesh and nerves that can control minds, you see them at the end of the game.

1UP isn't exactly the best for news. They've been going on about Crysis PS3 for months now. System Shock 2 was all about an evil A.I., not about some [spoiler] Alien relic that can twist peoples' DNA and makes them necro zombie things [/spoiler]

It was supposed a system shock sequel. It's not going to share the story line if they decided to change it.

True, but The Many are the primary villain in the game up until the final level where Shodan betrays you.

There is nothing in the game to indicate any relation at all to System Shock, and if that was even supposed to be one that would have been a horrible sequal to one of the greatest horror games of all time and an abomination to the series. Again, 1up can hardly be trusted.

Yeah I'm playing SS 2 right now, for the first time (thanks for the ending spoiler btw, I'm only up to Operations Deck where you find out about Polito), and I notice a lot of similarities. I think they were inspired by a lot of things though, and SS 2 just happens to be one of them.

Maybe also Event Horizon, The Thing, Aliens, even the Lost In Space movie.

Mr. Bear does not approve of the use of his linguistics without proper consention. You have just treated yourself to a lifetime of torture via tickle from spikey porcupines at the hands of Mr. Bear's expert assistant in mortifying torture Mama Bear.

Because Dead Space is made from the same guys who did System Shock 2, doesn't mean it's a rip off.

Who cares? Originality is a good thing, but unoriginality shouldn't be punished - it's incredibly common in modern games.

And System Shock 2 is a rip off of other things before it. Anyway, System Shock 2 being one my of my favorite games of all time I really enjoyed Dead Space a whole lot even though it was obviously influenced by the former. I'm just happy it wasn't complete junk and a part of the official franchise since it's EA. Would love to see a sequel in 1-2 years.

How is it an "Blatant Rip-off" because it has some similar things?

There is a huge difference between influenced and Ripping-off.

It sure as hell was inspired by SS. I've been saying it since.. what, 2006? Before people even knew what Dead Space was.

That would be correct, what happened there was some litigation about using the name SS3 for Bioshock the other sequel. But it never happened for either one.

Ripping off is a stupid term. It took elements from many games and improved a lot of them. This just made an overall amazing game, in my opinion of course.

dead space def rocks and is worth every penny, and to think i was skeptical over its purchase. whether it imitates re4 or ss2, it owns either way.
