Who is Irrational Games and why should I care??
Click to expand...

Irrational Games is an award winning video game developer located in Quincy, MA and founded in 1997 by Ken Levine, Jonathan Chey and Robert Fermier. The team made its name with the much loved first person shooter System Shock 2. This was followed by two Freedom Force games, SWAT 4 and Tribes: Vengeance. In 2005 Irrational Games was acquired by Take-Two Interactive. The team was renamed 2K Boston in 2007, just in time to coincide with the release of the critically acclaimed BioShock, which went on to win over 50 awards including Best Game from BAFTA. In 2010 the team returned to its roots by reclaiming the Irrational Games moniker.

yeah, this is probably to get some material for their podcast. Call them up and give them your conspiracy theories.


Honestly, I'm stumped . . . for the long time, I assumed they were doing a military shooter . . . but then 2K went public with that and they do have a Spec: Ops military shooter in the works but it is out-sourced.

And I also long assumed then were working on an X-Com reboot . . . but then it turns out 2K Marin are the ones working on that.


So . . . when then? Bioshock 3? Space shock?


I want that strategy-action Zombie game they discussed in that earlier podcast.

Civilizations: Warrior

That one FPS game where you fight in the civil war and through time but expanded and with polish and the Civ aesthetic. Darkest of Days, I think.

A game where you play as a young and rebellious root 2 as he tries to discover true love. But in this world of repeating digits and whole numbers, is there truly a place he can call his own? Will he remain unique and different, or will he fall in line with the so-called "squares", becoming yet another "me 2"?

Wasn't it confirmed to be a new IP months ago? Seems hard to guess if that's the case.

If not, and it's guessable.

You can't fool me. Obviously Irrational Games are developing Halo 3: ODST 2.

Who's going to feel worse? Irrational Games going through the vast majority of messages asking for S.W.A.T, knowing they are making something completely different or the fans who are once more let-down.

5WAT. A fly-swatting Kinect game.

Does this seem a little cruel to anyone else? I wonder if they're just going to make fun of the people who call in on one of their podcasts.

Why do you have to play these stupid games? Are you just using us to create hype? If you're not ready to announce anything then just shut your yaps and keep working on it. We get enough teasers and announcements of announcements and countdown sites. Just stop.

Irrational Games event on August 11th in NYC, game reveal probable
We don't know much about "Project Icarus," the still-codenamed and much-anticipated new game from Irrational Games, the Boston-based dev behind BioShock. While BioShock 2 has come and gone out of spinoff 2K Marin, and we've already gotten our hands on 2K Marin's followup, XCOM, we still don't have a shred of information on what Irrational's been working on over the last three years.

That's all likely to change on August 11th when Ken Levine and company are holding an event in New York City. We received the above invitation today and, while it's short on details, it promises that "details and formal email invitations" will be arriving shortly. Until then, peruse the above image for any hidden secrets it might hold. New York City, is that a clue? August 11th? That's the 223rd day of the year but what does it mean? It's Hulk Hogan's birthday ... are you seeing what we're seeing? It all makes sense now!
