If you actually follow the link and READ it you will notice it was done based on a survey on Irrational's site to see how their fans played games and what they wanted. 1999 Mode is a reaction to them actually listening to their fans.

A lot of games remembered fondly from the 90s were pretty hard. Fallout 1 and 2, Syndicate, Deus Ex 1, System Shock 1 and 2, Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, and so on. Games that presented deep gameplay and a good challenge (something developers rarely get correct) have lived on. Obviously there are exceptions, but it is true that a lot of games have been simplified or "streamlined" for mass audiences. I mean do you honestly believe that the 90s Bioware would ever make a game like Mass Effect? If they had they would have made it a real shooter/RPG instead of RPG-lite. A lot of sacrifices are made due to the "mass audience". Hell look at the difference between Dragon Age: Origins and it's sequel. Same with the huge gap in depth and challenge between System Shock 2 and it's "spiritual successor". Games that were easy in the past are still easy, but games that presented a good challenge in the past are also much easier.

Awesome -- Now I'm even more excited for this game.
Now how about a 1995 mode, where you can rapid-fire rockets, run at 200mph, and there's no mouse-look?

This sounds awesome. I like playing certain games at the highest difficulty and or trying to achieve a certain objective, for example playing through Deus HR without killing anybody is GOTY of 2011.
I need to give the first Bioshock another chance, and actually get to the second one. I didn't see what was so special about the first one, but this one seems a lot better.
Give me one run through in normal mode to get used to the game, and then I'll be playing the fuck out of this exclusively.
All games need to do this. ALL.

When I first read the title, I thought it was going to have doom graphics. Then I read on and got sad that it wasn't, but it's still a win.
this should shut up the 4channers and Yahtzee's of the world
honestly, it does sound like it would be fun to try for replaying the game, but I wouldn't want to play the game for the first time in this mode

Thing is, it doesn't necessarily sound harder to me, just a hell of a lot more interesting. Then again, I adore the System Shock series and miss old-school design philosophies. Can't wait.
When you couldn't just kick open a door and shoot everything inside, but instead had to peek through the keyhole, hack into the security cameras, set up fifteen ammo drones.serta memory foam mattress
