Ken Levine teases Sci Fi RPG for PC.

PC Gamer says:

Ken Levine's been dropping the scoops on his next project. On Twitter, he's been answering fan questions about the first game from his smaller, post-Irrational team.

For instance, did you know that the new game will be sci-fi, or at least sci-fi-ish? You do now. The team are also currently considering first-person for the view mode, and will be developing the game for PC. As for the genre, "I think small open worldish (but not necessarily outdoors) RPG with quest structure coming from passion system," he writes.

Back at GDC, Levine referred to the game as making use of "narrative Lego"—giving a presentation on how he plans to make repeatable, systemic stories. On Twitter, Levine was asked whether Shadow of Mordor had any impact on the project. He responding by saying "mostly in that it validated that people would care about narrative replayability."

The ultimate aim, Levine says, is a systems-based narrative to which the team can expand into. Not adding new story on top, but into the existing story—like a Civilization expansion adds depth to the existing game.

Thanks, Game Informer.

I was going to call you out for baiting the title, but it looks like PC gamer did that for you.

This game won't be PC exclusive, even the terms he uses on his twitter made that obvious.

Probably wont be exclusive, but will likely be the best on the PC platform like all his other games.

This is exciting news for people who like video games.

As someone who likes videos, this excites me.

Sounds a bit like System Shock. Sci Fi, small open world but no outdoors (space station/space ship). May it's spiritual successor to it. We'll see.

PC exclusive? LOL yeah right.

Hope it's good, Levine is sort of con man as of late. First with BioShock then with BioShock Infinite. Cautiously optimistic.

I read they wanted to focus more on story driven games. That makes me think this won't be a 'shooter' like System Shock or Bioshock

System Shock wasn't really a shooter. It was more of an RPG survival game.

I hope its not a "spiritual successor". We've been down that path and it wasn't pretty! Too many complaints about Bioshock not being like System Shock.

If he's working independently I hope the game play can have the same amount of imagination as the story. Infinite had such a complex story but the game play was inseparable from Call of Duty.

Meh. He needs to do much better than Bioshock Infinite to get me hyped.

True.

This game won't be PC exclusive

I will be owning this Levine game.

Isn't that the truth.
