      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.

                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 ;)

      Developer Nightdive Studios’ acclaimed remake of cult-classic sci-fi horror System Shock is - following a successful release on PC last year

    Good, they’ve been on a tear of classic remakes here lately, and I hope the new engine System Shock was built from can be used to remake System Shock 2.

    Hopefully with this they also release the patch that fixes cloud saves between Steam Deck and PC that’s been an issue since day 1…

    I hope they fix it first. Be adviced, this game has broken achievements, you can’t get them all.

      They already fixed most of the bugs in the first major patch. Are you talking about the lost audio log near the entrance to the elevator on Level 8? They fixed that problem.

        Audiologs are a pain in the ass. Everytime they patch it something else breaks.

        I played the game in January, there is more logs that the first patches, but it seems the minimum you can get is still the same (had to load an early version of the game to fix that, with steam shenanigans). The “defeat shodan” achievement doesn’t work either, as in is bugged, no one has it.

        So no, they didn’t fix shit. That log in L8 is still inside the fucking wall.

        Please don’t bullshit me.
