I have, this remake is better. The mouse controls aren't completely insane and the graphics are 100x better...

You have a fond memory of something, and then someone does a REMAKE. A classic or perfect thing doesn't need a remake, because almost all the time the shiny version will be subpar. Just look at classic movies from the 30s or 60s. Almost all the time the remakes are laughingstock like attempts at recreating the original. Just leave the originals alone. If you don't have the nerves for playing a very old game in an emulator and doesn't enjoy it because the visuals are not appealing, then just play something else. Or name your project XYZ and then tell in interviews that you asked for permission to copy everything and now call it project XYZ. The trajectory will be: - look we have created system shock remake - look this is our new game, you know us, we made the system shock remake... It's like raise dead+necrophilia that results in some new abomination later on :D.

    They didn't ruin it. They made something that resembles System Shock and it is called System Shock, but it's not System Shock anymore. All I say is play the original (there is the enhanced version), then play this one, then talk about it.

      System Shock 2 is better than the original.

        They are both masterpieces.

  This is more like taking a classic film that was only available on badly degraded film stock that was rarely available to watch, and fully remastering and restoring it for release on DVD and blu-ray. The story and all of the director's decisions and visions are intact it's just cleaned up and much easier to watch today and forever into the future.

    That's called the System Shock Enhanced Edition released in 2015. This resembles the original, but a lot of stuff is remade.

      Within a few months there will be diehard fans of the classic who will create a mod of the remake that takes out the changes from the original. It's inevitable. That's the beauty of the mod scene, at least for games with big enough fanbases. So maybe wait for that eventuality to happen instead of complaining about a perfectly good modern new game that has the potential to serve as a base for fan projects such as that.

  Black Mesa is a remake of one of the best games ever and they absolutely nailed it.

    Is it really that good?

      It’s fantastic. It’s amazing. I truly can’t recommend it enough. They absolutely nailed the job.
