Pidesco Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 EA, apparently turned down Irrational's offer to develop SS3, so that they could give it to an inhouse team. Linky I see potential for a big disaster but, of course, who knows? :ph34r: "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian touristI am Dan Quayle of the Romans.I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands.Heja Sverige!!Everyone should cuffawkle more.The wrench is your friend.
alanschu Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 I think I knew this already. I'm sure I made a post about how if it's a good game, I'll buy it.
Pidesco Posted August 11, 2006 Author Posted August 11, 2006 You are right. Sorry. Discuss System Shock's awesomeness if you want, instead.

Hurlshort Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 That's too bad, Irrational would have rocked it.
Spider Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 So instead of a SS3 from Irrational we now get SS3 from EA and Bioshock from Irrational. I can't see how that is a bad thing. Bioshock appears to be amazing, so we're already getting one good thing, and now there is the chance of two. True, EA may do a horrible version of SS3, but then we'd be no worse of than if they hadn't done it in the first place. But it could also turn out good. Not every title released by EA is a bad game.
Pidesco Posted August 12, 2006 Author Posted August 12, 2006 I'm afraid they'll destroy Shodan as a character.

As for Shodan, I would have preferred it if she had remained destroyed after SS2. I'm not a fan of reusing the same villain over and over. Although at least it can make sense with her.
Nartwak Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 Hh-how could they destroy a perfect, immortal machine?
alanschu Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 I blew her up plenty good with a full auto unleashing of my AR. I loved the twist in the second one. If it wasn't for the fact that Shodan was on the cover, I would have never expected her to be in the game, let alone ordering me around the whole time.

alanschu Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 I thought about putting it in a Spoiler tag. But given the game is 7 years old, I say too bad.
Fenghuang Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 I never got my pirated abandonware version to work. RIP
Pidesco Posted August 12, 2006 Author Posted August 12, 2006 (edited) When I said destroyed I didn't mean they would kill her off in SS3, I meant they would destroy her coolness.

Powerslave Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 I get the feeling that Bioshock will be more of a System Shock game than EA's SS3 will ever be, but we shall see...
Morgoth Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 I sincerely doubt EA will be able to deliver another Classic. Maybe a solid FPS, bot nothing more. --> No thanks. Bioshock please thx. Rain makes everything better.
