It looked an interesting game.
I tried playing the first one on an old PC that was barely capable of keeping up with all the details turned down.
The experience was interesting, but frustrating.
One day I'll probably have another go, but unfortunately I've heard of something the discoveries you make later in the game, so I've missed out on experiencing the surprises firsthand.
And to stay a bit more on topic, a remake probably wouldn't work on my current gaming PC, so I'd be back in the same boat, or just play the original one, which would probably run quite well now.
