Starbreeze and EA team up to bring back a classic

by Nick Doerr { Feb 21st 2008 at 1:30PM }

The makers of the surprise hit Xbox title The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, Starbreeze Studios, have recently accepted a deal from EA to bring back a classic title from the olden days for current consoles. It's an action title, so we'll keep our speculation in that genre. Its codename is Project RedLime so if you've got a particularly keen sense of classic EA action games, you can probably find a hint in that somewhere. Popular speculation seems to point toward a new System Shock title. Who knows.

Now that would be a sweet wallpaper for the old PS3. Anyone know of a 1080 res of that image?

Wasn't BioShock kinda the new System Shock?
Well anyway, I would buy it.

I wish Kevin Levine and the Bioshock crew were to redo DeuxEx, and then redo the System Shock games, or at least make #3.

I haven't played SS 1 or 2, and due to being on x64 XP I can't run either. :(

I'm sorry, but the quote is just so usable :D

I swear that if they announce it's System Shock I will crap myself in both anticipation and fear. If they don't have some of the team from last time (i.e. Ken Levine) then it could go so terribly wrong.

Or everything will be sunny and good.

Or it's not even System Shock and I won't really care.
