That's because of the marketing of the remake.

They don't know about it because it's so long ago. I played system shock 2 back in the day and I was already in my twenties, I know the history behind it. I know the history behind the dev teams and how many of these genres originated.

You're right it isn't marketed as such, I can't debate you on that.

But system shock 2 is still known to be a survival horror game and bioshock is pretty much the successor of that game. It uses similar elements what system shock 2 was known for to create a survival horror experience.

It's also the reason why google lists is as such.

It is the spiritual successor of system shock 2.

which is known to be action role playing survival horror game, and a landmark in video gaming history.

Also the reason why google lists as such.

You're right it isn't known or marketed like that, and it's also the reason why I posted it.

Because not a lot of people know about this.

type in survival horror games in google and look what results you get.

You will find bioshock in there.

A lot of people haven't played dead space, so I don't see why this would be any different with bioshock.

yeah these dudes just look at wiki and look at the description, which says first person shooter.

It's like call of duty

No also the reason why I posted it. It is specified as a first person shooter but so is call of duty.

They aren't even comparable.

I don't think they class it on exactly that, if you type in survival horror games in google, you get bioshock as a part of that. Same for system shock 2 (bioshock is the spiritual successor of that game)

Besides, it's not like bioshock doesn't have any resource management either.

When the game released I tried getting into it but was kind of put off by the lore.

I remember I got stuck on the first one in an area with a gasmask on, I couldn't get outside, tried for hours. Never tried the other games because of it.

that's kind of an odd explanation, games like dead space and resident evil rely on a scarce recources to create that, but there are other survival horror games that rely on more, sneaking for instance.

Alien isolation is classed exactly like that

yeah I made this post because dead space gets so much attention , I don't think people missed dead space at this point.

I did not like infinite because it's so different from the first one, I never tried the second one though.

which one?

Yeah, that might be the case but this piece is purely about the survival horror part.

well I don't mind debating it , and I know where you're coming from, but if you're looking for a game that classifies as sci fi survival horror, what would be the first thing that comes to mind.

For me it was this, and a part of that was also because it's also a masterpiece.

I would even dare to say that they do it better in some ways, since you can use stealth.

You're making this more about semantics than about anything else, they made surival horror as part of the game, it is more than that sure, but that doesn't mean it isn't part of it.

So hence the title, if you like sci fi survival horror you can find it in bioshock.

Yes but you can class dead space as a third person shooter as well. They just don't do it because it's pure survival horror.

Bioshock is also a partly a role playing game, it's like with skyrim, you can play it as a first person sneaker, they won't class it as such (like they do with thief) because you have multiple ways of playing the game.

from wiki

The game includes elements of role-playing games, giving the player different approaches in engaging enemies such as by stealth, additionaly the game and its biopunk theme borrow concepts from the survival horror genre, notably the Resident Evil series.

I am talking about the first game only.

yeah that is far from the case for the first one

from wiki

I can't say I never played the remaster, I played the pc version back in the day though.

are you talking about the first one?

It is made with that concept in mind though, part of the dev team are no less than the people who created the first thief series.

I can't speak for the second one because I never played it, but bioshock infinite is not the same type of game as the first one.

I studied psychology a couple of decades back that was still after the book, why freud was wrong.

Many things by freud are still used and accepted, it's not because a lot of his work is debatable or even plain wrong that he didn't lay the groundwork for psychology in general and that he had a major influenece that is still in effect in various fields.

The concept of the id is something that never really went away, and same thing for the ego and its defense mechanisms.

The rules are actually quite clear

Frankly I wouldn't know I just posted this because someone posted a purple bird
