    100% disagree. Like in theory I agree with you but they already did an “enhanced” edition for System shock 2. It was their literal first game release. It was their port of System shock 2 that allowed it to run on modern systems, which released in 2013.

    The following was the feature list of system shock 1 enhanced edition:

    Higher resolution support up to 4K widescreen mode
    Mouselook support
    Rebindable keyboard/mouse/joystick commands
    Adapted to Nightdive’s KEX engine
    Support for both Direct3D and OpenGL
    Option to switch between hi-resolution Mac assets and the original DOS assets
    Official support for fan missions and fan mods
    New unified options menu that allows changing preferences before gameplay
    Adjustable FOV (Field of View)
    Smoother camera rotation and translation
    Improved control scheme which allows faster and streamlined experience
    Brand new achievements
    Remappable keys with three profiles to choose from: original controls, custom controls, and lefthanded controls.

    Many of these things are minor.
    This allows them to update SS2 into their KEX engine but this just feels so unambitious. People are chomping at the bits for a proper remake of SS2 not another remaster.
