Jason Bourne Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/star...rne-game-for-ea Starbreeze working on Bourne game for EA The Chronicles of Riddick developer Starbreeze is working on a new game based on the Jason Bourne character, to be published by Electronic Arts. EA has picked up the rights to create games based on the works of Robert Ludlum, previously held by Vivendi. "Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne is the most exciting action hero to emerge in decades, thrilling audiences around the world," said Mike Quigley, group VP of marketing for EA Games. "EA is excited to enter into a long-term relationship with Ludlum Entertainment, bringing the action, intrigue and intensity of Robert Ludlum's fiction to life for casual and core gamers around the globe." Hmm. Not sure how I feel about this. Starbreeze is awesome, but do they not only make FPSs? Would that mean a Bourne game being first person? Would be weird to use CQC in first person.
Cl_Flushentityhero Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I don't know what you guys are talking about. Starbreeze is awesome, therefore Starbreeze doing Bourne will be awesome. I don't really care about the perspective if it's good. Also, Starbreeze's "breakaway" game that landed them the Riddick contract was third person, so I wouldn't over-generalize.
Morgoth Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Is this the rumored "Project Redlime", or is it a seperate game? Anyways, sounds pretty cool. Rain makes everything better.
mkreku Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Starbreeze's offices are located in my town. Everything they do turns into pure gold. PURE GOLD, I tell ya! Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Pop Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Escape From Butcher Bay was probably the second best Xbox game nobody played, behind Psychonauts. I'm hoping they can do Bourne more justice than Conspiracy did. (and when I'm referring to the movies, not the awful book series) Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
Hell Kitty Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Is this the rumored "Project Redlime", or is it a seperate game? Separate game. "Project Redlime" is apparently an old franchise, and people seem to think it will either by Syndicate or System Shock.
Humodour Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Starbreeze's offices are located in my town. Everything they do turns into pure gold. PURE GOLD, I tell ya! Starbreeze is a pretty awesome name for a game studio so I'll give them a chance. What's this thread got to do with Alpha Protocol?

It's like someone is crapping out of their mouth. I can't believe people get paid to write such drivel. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.
Blodhemn Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 I have no idea who this Bourne character is but I can't say it bothers me one way or another, seeing as my only familiarity of Vin Diesel's Riddick came from Escape from Butcher Bay and it's one of my favorite games. Starbreeze is awesome. I would say that I was slightly disappointed with the Darkness on it's repetitiveness concerning battle sequences but it was still a lot of fun and pretty unique for the most part. One thing that they could improve on is....loading times!!
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 I am cautious/optimistic. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
Amentep Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Was High Moon's Bourne Conspiracy a success? I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
Kaftan Barlast Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 (edited) The Bourne series are complete rubbish, the original stuff set during the cold war might have been ok but this terroristy modern drivel just bore me to tears. And the last film was close to unwatcheable, the guy who edited it must have had an epileptic seiszure or two a day at the very least. Starbreeze's offices are located in my town. Everything they do turns into pure gold. PURE GOLD, I tell ya! They're very nice people who are very good at what they do, but its a shame that they play it so safe all the time. I bet they could do something really interesting if they got the time and funding to brake out of the franchise-game trap.

Lare Kikkeli Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Riddick was awesome, I wish they'll do System Shock 3. I bet this be good and hopefully will come out of the PC as well (with no draconic DRM!).
Morgoth Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Am I the only one who thinks Riddick sucks? Okay, I only played the demo, but from what I've played it was really weak and uninspiring. Rain makes everything better.

Yeah, and the horrible thing is that I took a computer games programming course here at the uni and they were guess lecturers at one point. So naturally I asked them what they'd do if they got free reigns (funding and time). They said "Post apocalyptic RPG in the Wasteland spirit"! I was like "PLEASE GOD LET A PLANE FILLED WITH MONEY CRASH ON THEIR OFFICES!!" but there is no god. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
wesley2 Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Am I the only one who thinks Riddick sucks? Okay, I only played the demo, but from what I've played it was really weak and uninspiring. One of the only I've heard I think you have to be into the universe, but I'd try to go back and play the whole game again, because it really drops you into the game and the storyline. It makes you care more about what's going on and you enjoy being in the prison and want to play more of the game. Granted, play more of the game to get out of the prison, but it was really enthralling, I could hardly put it down.
Pidesco Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I'm playing Riddick right now, and it's quite great fun, despite my hatred of the movie and the actor. "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.
Hurlshort Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I liked Riddick until it crashed on me repeatedly. What's with the Vin Deisel hate? I think he's a good action star. He's also a super D&D and video game geek, so I find it hard not to root for him.
Pidesco Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I've hated him ever since I first saw him in Fast and Furious. I think he doesn't any charisma, he always comes across as a big lummox trying to be smart, and he has yet to appear in a movie I've enjoyed.

I bet they could do something really interesting if they got the time and funding to brake out of the franchise-game trap. Where are these "really interesting" games you speak of? The last time I checked Butcher Bay did a number of novel things in the FPS genre despite being licensed. I don't see how companies making their own IPs should inherently result in a more or less interesting game. Execution is everything.
Jason Bourne Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) MOTHER OF GOD I am sorry for doubting Starbreeze. I just watched a few of the CQC videos of the new Riddick game and I was blown away! http://www.gametrailers.com/player/45292.html Jesus Christ at the number of counters and grappling moves! I have NO worries about Starbreeze working on a new Bourne game. Hell, even if it's in first person, I won't complain after watching that video. Best looking CQC FP EVER. Not to mention the graphics are insane. P.S. I'm strapped on cash, and after watching more videos of AODA, I'm definatly buying that game over Killzone 2. Two games for the price one with a cool MP mode. I'm there. Edited February 19, 2009 by Jason Bourne
Zoma Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 How could not redirecting an enemy's gun onto their own brains to blast it open make Butcher's Bay awesome? And I believe its the first game that featured such coolness.
