Irrational Games revived

i wish they have swat5

Ehm, what about the Tribes series?

@ TheAustrian I was aware of that. But EA does own the rights to System Shock. And initially when first previews of dead space were revealed, it was rumored that it was to be an "unofficial" sequel of System Shock. Many still think that Dead Space was developed as System Shock 3 but later changed into a totally new IP. Alas such rumors were not proved by EA. Personally I see Dead Space as closer to System Shock survival horror experience than Bioshock ( and Bioshock 2 is starting to look even more distant from that experience :( ). I'm excited that Dead Space 2 is said to take place on a giant space station. If only they could get some form of insane rogue AI in there and I'll be more than happy. PS: Is that from Chrono Cross? :)

@freema Irrational didn't create Dead Space. EA Redwood Shores (now Visceral Games) did. Dead Space and System Shock 2 are of no relation. Even so, a new System Shock would really great.

It better not be X-COM FPS or I'm going to lose whatever little respect I still have for these guys :(. Isn't Bioshock 2 multiplayer team deathmatch enough punishment for us old Irrational fans? Please make a real spiritual successor for System Shock series for PC. I'm sorry but as good as Dead Space was, it just wasn't System Shock 2.

freedom forceeeee

S.W.A.T. 5 anyone? >.> Hopefully.

FOR FREEDOM!

"...not that garbage bioshock" You can't be serious.

another system shock please not that garbage bioshock

Changing the name doesn't mean a thing to me. How devious :) They want to trick the old fans back. Well the main difference being that back when they came up with System Shock 1 and 2, well-designed smart gameplay actually counted. As to now ... possible FPS multiplayer sequal to X-COM? System Shock deathmatches? I'm sorry but this article doesn't make me orgasm in my pants with geek glee as Take-Two, Ken Levine, and Gamespot obviously intended. Shame on you Ken for ... (I'm not gonna say it :P)

I wish they would just release BioShock 2 instead of deciding whether to change their name or not

They have sold out and beome just another boxed crap pooing dev....next.....

Freedom Force 3! Now!

One hour!

S.W.A.T 5 Please, Im a S.W.A.T 4 player, and i want a new swat game

Cool keep it up

System Shock 3 would be awesome

Swat 5 anyone?

I too would like to see System Shock 3. Also, Irrational should make a biopunk game. They're done Cyberpunk with Deus Ex and Steampunk with Bioshock, making a game out of the last category could be really sweet :).

makes total sense to me .. Irrational Games is a much much cooler name than 2K Boston .. for christ sake you can't even tell what kind of a company is 2K Boston! its more of law firm's name than a video game developer. and yeah .. is there no chance at all that we'll see Freedom Fighters 2? I mean EVER?!

Pleeeeeease let it be a new X-Com

OK, I've seen parts of the site and the game announcement won't be today, but soon. =)

For some reason any 2K company I don't take seriously since all I can think is they make sports games, and I don't like how they make a company then add the city name after each branch, I will remember that 2K made Bioshock, but even after reading the article i don't remember the exact branch.

i want swat 5

System Shock 3 would be the best thing ever, but EA has the rights... So ATM I'm hoping for a new X-COM game that is good... Still it's meant to be on the Unreal 3 engine and is a shooter... SWAT 5 maybe?

A new X-Com game would be good,played the first one loved it but the turn based game styled turned me off i only like it in the civ games and the UFO game i like the RTS style but the games lost their way after aftershock

System Shock 2 is still installed on my PC.. And as good as Bioshock was it is no where near the game SS2 is. SS2 is one of the best games of all time. I would be so very much behind a decent X-Com Enemy Unknown/UFO Defense sequel but in no way dumbed down. Keep the Geo-scape and base management system, trying to modernize the Isometric view and time unit allocation system would more than likely take away from what was brilliant about UFO Defence and Terror from the Deep. The so called improvements to the X-Com games become more apparent as major flaws in the later UFO games Afterlight, Aftermath, Extraterrestrials etc

Bioshock was great... System Shock 2 was better, much better. Another "proper" System Shock would be fantastic. X-COM FPS? Not interested! Give me Enemy Unknown PART 2 rather!

@parrot_of_adun Yeah, its true. I was REALLY disappointed at BioShock. Only because I was expecting more of an SS2 clone, in terms of gameplay. But in reality, it was a direct ripoff of the story from SS2. Its pathetic. Everything is exactly the same, but don't get me wrong, BioShock was a good game. But, System Shock is much better.

Keep us salivating for more!!!

cmon! reveal us whats their project :D

Can we get all the other 2K studios names changed aswell Take 2 and 2k gets me confused every time

SWAT 4 was the only game they made that I've played. Being a long fan of the SWAT series, I hope this means there is hope for a new SWAT game. SWAT 4 was for the most part pretty good but it just didn't translate everything SWAT 3 had to offer.

THIS IS SUPERCOOLSPLASHIOSHISDFSDHJDHGE

I hope that it's an entirely new game that isn't part of a series. :)

wish better games will come.

X-COM would be great, but hopefully not as a shooter.

I wouldn't say they 'revived' anything. All that has happened is that 2K Boston has switched back to their old company name. It is not like anything has changed internally, just whatever game they have been working on will have a slightly different logo on it come release date. It is pretty far fetched to say that they are going back to old school titles just because they reverted back to their old name. Agreed with parrot_of_adun, I would care if they 'revived' one of their old titles, but not their company name.

Nice, but I'd rather they revived some other things... Like System Shock (well, if they got the rights back). Oh, and to those that thumbed down Skyblue69, It obvious you guys have only ever played Bioshcok, which on it's own is a good game, but only because it's a direct copy of SS2 with a some small differences (all of which are worse in BS). Go play SS2, moddb.com has an WinXP fix I believe.

I need a remake. I can't play those old games with my current system. :(

if it sells more games, good move. Names can definitely make a difference if long-lost players recognize it.

Hoping for a new System Shock... havent been able to play the old ones.

Good move by take two. Lets go back oldschool. 2K Boston was a crap name from the start.

It shows what a few hits can do to this super studio. Good Luck and stay to your roots.

I'd like to have another System Shock, that game was F'n awesome!

I dont want a sequel, i want a new IP, we all like sequels but we need new IPs to keep things fresh in the industry. I dont want any sequel or spiritual successor i want something new, id say i want a quality take on a license but those are rarely executed properly.

coool. i just hope they make games that arent so damn hard :)

Shouldn't have never been changed from the get go.
