This featured in an update about Underworld Ascendent but it was System Shock related so mentioning it here:

Apparently the original System Shock and Ultima Underworld got a few awards back in their day. I was unaware.

That's a good article, although not applicable to System Shock since we still have the original running. Any  remake will just add to that, like a good remake of an old movie might get people to re-watch the original. And a bad remake might do the same.

I think parts of the article are applicable to SSR too and the old Lucas Arts adventures were just as playable and available as SS1 still is, before they received their remakes (maybe with the exception of Grim Fandango).

Is it bad that I'm encouraged by all this?

I mean don't get me wrong, I'm still hoping Night Dive can make it awesome.
