"Shocking" Irrational Announcement Tomorrow?

[Oct 07, 2004, 11:57 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

There's a System Shock 2 Retrospective on GameSpot (thanks Ant) that looks back at the highly regarded action/RPG sequel. According to the article's conclusion, this interest is more than academic, as they tease plans for an announcement related to all this tomorrow:

But why even look back at System Shock 2 at this point? Because Irrational has been, and it plans to make a related announcement this Friday (tomorrow). The studio has decided that it wishes to further what it started in System Shock 2--to work on games that promote "emergent" gameplay--open-ended exploration that offers many choices and combinations of options to players. You'll see what we mean tomorrow. Be sure to come back then.

Of course, Terra Nova 2 would also kickass. I really liked that game too. I wrote to Looking Glass one time, asking them a technical question about the original Flight Unlimited (another great game). I mentioned Terra Nova as one of the other titles I had and asked whether a sequel might be coming out. The LG dude wrote back and said, "Don't expect any sequel to Terra Nova, it was a HUGE BOMB." So I guess they lost some money there. edit: to clarify...the above took place in 1996, friends! This comment was edited on Oct 8, 00:42.
