Comment on Nightdive's acclaimed System Shock remake heading to consoles in May

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.

    realMyst Of course, that’s not the most recent remake of Myst. The current one is called, er, ‘Myst’.
    
    Sigh. Looking forward to Riven. Again.
