And it's already on Steam, eh https://store.steampowered.com/app/482400/
You should buy "System Shock: Enhanced Edition", as the name implies, it's the newer better one!
Seriously, why do we keep using the same names with reboots and remasters and remakes and argh. Languages have words, use the goddamn words!
I ffeel this in my bones every day. Seems like some people are trying to make words not mean what they're supposed to mean.
Because System Shock 2023 just sounds goofy. I'm not sure how else they could have renamed it. They've been doing this with movies for decades, too.
The "Enhanced Edition" was the old version of the game with some mods and tweaks to make it playable for modern audiences. The new one is an actual graphical and gameplay remake.
Ooh, I love this game!
System Shock: SHODAN Edition
System Shock: Remake
System Shock: Unreal Edition
System Shock: Reconstructed
System Shock: Mainframe Edition
IDK, one of those probably. The trend of naming remakes or reboots the same exact name of the originals is tiresome to me.
Like Lords of The Fallen and Lords of The Fallen. Or King Kong and King Kong and King Kong. Or Godzilla and Godzilla and Godzilla.
The need to say the year when talking about something is annoying in conversation.
I love Doom, but found Doom just OK, y'know?
The only game I found that was actually successful in doing something like that was "Dark Souls: Remastered", and only because it's fucking Dark Souls.
Here's a few more. I'm only including full remakes and not any remasters, since we're talking about the System Shock remake:
Ocarina of Time 3D
Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp
Counter Strike: Source
Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy
Destroy All Humans 2: Reprobed
DuckTales: Remastered
Dune 2000
The House of The Dead: Remake
Kirby's Return To Dream Land Deluxe
The Last of Us Part I
Mafia: Definitive Edition
Mega Man: The Wily Wars
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
Metal Slug X
Metroid: Zero Mission
Metroid: Samus Returns
realMyst
Pac-Man World: Re-Pac
Panzer Dragoon: Remake
Pokemon: HeartGold and SoulSilver
Pokemon: FireRed and LeafGreen
Pokemon: Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire
XCOM: Enemy Unknown
Of course, that's not the most recent remake of Myst. The current one is called, er, 'Myst'.
Sigh. Looking forward to Riven. Again.
Making its way implies it was somewhere already ;)
