Something amazing has happened [New SS2 and T2 patches]

Closed

Last Monday, a mysterious rogue programmer released new patches for both Thief II and System Shock 2. While initially on a French-speaking forum, it was quickly picked up by the greater fan community (see this TTLG thread).

The sheer amount of changes is astounding. They've been updated so they work on modern systems, supporting widescreen resolutions and playing cutscenes without any trouble. The games' engine now has even better rendering capabilities (better lighting, way higher memory and polygon limits, etc) and even the level editors for both games have been upgraded.

Also, the changes to Thief II can be retroactively made to work for Thief Gold.

Oh, and did I mention that these games can now use the Steam Overlay without any issues?

Wait, so I can somehow apply these to Thief Gold, or do you just mean it's possible that they'll release them for Thief Gold?

I don't think "rogue" means quite what you think it means.

All they have to go now is work that mess regarding the rights of System Shock.

Then all will be well on the world.
