Nightdive Studios' long-gestating remake of classic FPS System Shock finally released this week and the consensus surrounding the game is mostly positive. Nightdive has made a name for itself in the past by crafting quality ports of classic first-person shooters to modern platforms, but System Shock represents the company's first foray into a full ground-up remake, and an impressively ambitious one at that. Still, the developer's choice to adhere closely to the original source material in how it crafted the remake presents an interesting case for examining the pros and cons of being too faithful to the original game when re-imagining it for modern hardware and a new audience.
