NDS: Hey we are remaking System Shock!
Fans: Awesome!  That sounds fantastic!
NDS: Look we made a demo!
Fans: Cool!  Maybe a little close to the original, but hits nostalgic sweet spots!
NDS: Nah, we don't like Unity.  We're changing engines.
Fans: Oh, that's fine...we're sure it will still be awesome.
NDS: Look we have some pics of our work.  Listen to our orchestral soundtrack bits!
Fans: Um, that looks very different.  It's more SS2-esque, doesn't preserve the style (from what we see), and looks very modern (which may not be bad).  Music seems a little out of place.  It will be cool probably.
NDS: Look we have a teaser video!  We added dismemberment and shattering.  Look at how shiny everything looks in Unreal engine, see how realistic we made it look!  There's even a children's waiting room on a space station full of weapons and mining equipment.
Fans: Uh...what?  Well...maybe it will still be alright.  Wait what is this??  This doesn't even look like SS1.  Where's the nostalgia? Um...it...well, it will maybe be ok still.  No really, it's fine.  Um keep it up.

the dismemberment-demo left me feeling uncomfortable

Yeah, that was like watching sausages being made.

Again, 2009 referenced a bunch of stuff from RtCW.  Where BJ and Deathshead both knew each other from their previous encounters.  It didn't seem like a reboot to me.

It rebooted the franchise. My point was that both mentioned games weren't remakes, thus they aren't a good reference when you actually do a remake.
If you want to nitpick about it not actually being a reboot, fine. Let's say it's not a reboot. That doesn't change the actual statement I said.
