So yes, System Shock Remastered is a remake. The former is connected to the original by the assets it borrows, and a remake is conceptually connected to the original game. A remaster improves the original game while sharing many of the same assets, while a remake is built from scratch using the original game as a blueprint. So long as System Shock 3 doesn’t start going by System Shock 1 + 2: The Not Bundle, or whatever, we should be fine.īut seriously, this industry needs to properly define these two easily and often misused terms before someone gets hurt. Still, it’s happening, and though its title is likely to confuse a great many people, at least you and I can take comfort in knowing its true identity. We first learned about it in November, before it was given the enormously befuddling label of System Shock Remastered, which doesn’t work since it’s a remake of a game Night Dive already remastered. Developer Night Dive Studios’ remake of the original System Shock is coming to Kickstarter on June 29, revealed a post on the studio’s Facebook page.
