It's only the biggest gaming news in the past two decades. Why no coverage?

The frontpage put up a clip of someone playing the concept demo.
Doesn't matter much anyway, it's gonna reach it's goal without question.

INORITE?! It's appalling the lack of coverage for such a great game remake! I tried to find articles on Gamespot about it but nothing. Zilch. Nada.

All I could find was this article with links to the demo and the Kickstarter:

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/play-the-system-shock-remastered-demo-right-now-on/1100-6441348/

And this article:

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/heres-when-system-shock-remastereds-kickstarter-be/1100-6439821/

And this article:

http://www.gamespot.com/videos/gs-news-update-system-shock-remastereds-first-game/2300-6430042/

And this article:

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/watch-system-shock-remastereds-first-gameplay-foot/1100-6435653/

And this article:

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/system-shock-remake-in-production-system-shock-3-d/1100-6432215/

And this game page:

http://www.gamespot.com/system-shock-remastered-edition/

And this video of the demo:

http://www.gamespot.com/videos/gs-news-update-system-shock-demo-available-as-kick/2300-6433123/

And this dedicated forum:

http://www.gamespot.com/system-shock-remastered-edition/forums/

Why does Gamespot refuse to talk about this game? Who's paying them off? What kind of conspiracy BS is this?!?!

There's tons of good stuff that gets no mainstream coverage.

Here's a new one from today:

http://www.gamespot.com/videos/system-shock-vs-system-shock-remastered-whats-diff/2300-6433183/

The point is that GS has covered this game quite a bit, provided you actually look for some articles.

@Byshop: Ok. I wasn't even talking about this game specifically though.

Just speaking in general.

I think Byshop pretty much answered the TC at this point.

Besides, it's been given alot of attention. Just Google "System Shock Remastered"

None of the main news sites I follow reported on it. Should that be suspicious?

Someone trying to blacklist someone else?

@garywood69: are you being sarcastic, or? Granted he was being a bit snarky, but if you look a few posts up you will see countless examples of coverage from this website alone...

Snark confirmed, but I have three pet peeves:

1) People who use the term "pet peeve".

2) Complaints about GS doing or not doing something that they very obviously are/aren't if the person raising the issue had bothered to actually look.

3) When people reply to threads when it's obvious that they didn't read the thread except for the title and maybe the first post. This thread will probably get at least half a dozen more, non-sarcastic "yeah, why -didn't- they cover this game?!?!" replies before its done.

I think most people in the forum dont even bother to look at Gamespot main page anymore and went right to the forums. I know I don't.

So yeah, that might explain the confusion.

@davillain-: I'm half surprised anyone on this forum is old enough to recognize the character. :)
