9/21/10 - Gameplay Prototype

For a second, I thought this was going to be about Kid Icarus. But then I realized that that was an irrational expectation since Irrational is not a Japanese gamemaker.

That's the only logical explanation?

The only DeusEx link would be 'Icarus' which is a recurring theme between DE1 and DE:HR. So far DE:HR has only been claimed to be singleplayer (see: http://store.steampowered.com/app/39... ). For what it's worth, I don't think multiplayer was ever a strength of DE, and I'd hate to see 2k bolt multiplayer onto another game that doesn't need it (Bioshock2 being the other), I'd like to think Irrational know what they're doing without outside direction.

The Irrational-Eidos link is speculation on behalf of Giant Bomb, the website has no one claiming to be it's owner, and Irrational have given no clue about their project.

I guess we find out in 2 weeks.

Interesting things are happening over at the Irrational Forums on this thread: http://irrationalgames.com/community...

Here's the website where they will show a teaser trailer for the new game at 1:45pm EST on Thursday, August 12th. http://www.whatisicarus.com/

I am excited. Very.

PS- Irrational has an awesome error page.

I will be interested to finally find out what it is they have been up to over there.

Ah, this thursday. I transposed the numbers thinking it was the 21st. Sweet. Don't have to wait that much longer to find out what the hell Shawn Elliott has been doing other than podcasts for Irrational.

Either a vertical Infinity, or an Eight. I'm more interested in the background though. I think the different shades in the symbol are a part of an image the darkness is concealing.

Trying to one-up fellow game design legend Warren Spector, Ken Levine's project will be a game involving...Bugs Bunny.

Ken Levine[/url]]On Wednesday, August 11, we will be revealing Irrational Games’ new project to the press. At this special event, the press will be seeing a trailer and a live demonstration of gameplay.

On Thursday, August 12th, at 1:45 Eastern Daylight Time, we will launch the trailer for our new game at Whatisicarus.com. Our hope is that you all will see it PRIOR to reading any news in the press (which will start to come out around 15 minutes later).

Trust me, there’s a reason.

In the coming weeks, we will be releasing a video of the demonstration to the community as well. No promises on the date yet; we’re still figuring that out. You can send me a threatening PM, but it will have no effect other than to hurt my very delicate feelings.

See you all then.

I forgot how awesome their site is.

I agree.

Eidos is involved? Awww, I figured it was going to be Bioshock 3, or at least something Shock.

Where did you get Eidos from? given that whatisicarus is linked to Irrational, Irrational is owned by 2k games.

On second look, I think it was just his guess! I'm sticking with Something Shock, maybe ArcticShock, and it'll take place in Antarctica, or maybe Cryoshock, that would be pretty awesome. After the crazy critical success of System Shock 2 and Bioshock, I think they might throw out one more Shock series to add to the franchise, and level Shock as a brand.

How about StupidShock^tm? After thoroughly mocking the shaky foundations of Rand's Objectivism, players can now go back in time and murder fanatics of other discredited philosophical systems. Expose Hume's theory of causation by kicking a rock, smash Leibniz's monads into little pieces, publish grassroots newspapers disagreeing with Althusser, stand next to creationists and pat them on the head! Fun for the whole family!

Dance game. Mark my words.

I'd play it, but only if I could play as Dr. Samuel Johnson.

They've been marked.

It's obviously Babysitting Shock.

Did any of Conference Call crew get an invite?

Quintin wins.

Wait, so the GWJ conference call is delayed until tomorrow afternoon "just this once," and the Icarus trailer is announced tomorrow afternoon. Admit it, CEOs: you're delaying the conference call so you can have Ken Levine on talking about Icarus just after it's been unveiled.

It's a GWJ game!!
