    I’m not sure how else they could have renamed it

    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.

          Of course, that’s not the most recent remake of Myst. The current one is called, er, ‘Myst’.

          Sigh. Looking forward to Riven. Again.
