I thought they were done for years ago. None the less, no loss. The bioshock series became some joke that laughed at itself. Infinity was probably one of the worst 50 I've ever wasted on a game.
I hope he brings back that charm that made irrational who they were before selling out to play big dogs. Swat 4 and Freedom Force could use a nice addition to the series.

Infinite was great when the story was able to capture the player's attention, but the second the player lost that focus, the flaws were apparent and detracting.
Looking back at it, I was lying to myself the whole way through just so I could finish the game and see the ending. Plasmids were way better than Vigors and Tonics were way better than RNG gear.
Whatever the case, gameplay had always been the weakest link in Bioshock series, I hope what this means is a gameplay systems that come from the narrative, not from the catering or pandering.

yes it was , heck it was a game glued with random assets that wanted to create a story , but it became incoherent in the process
Juts look at it from this side His studio made a Big project and it became so big and out of hand they created so many assets and maps and game mechanics THAT COULD MAKE OVER 20+ games
and they wanted to make it a PC title ... but same like with a game called RAGE they where forced to make it also for consoles, so when they wanted to fit , all of this all into ONE FUCKING SINGLE DVD 9 thats on 360 only 7,5 gig [the rest is taken by updates] they could not fit those asssets and cut like maniacs just to fit this and SHIP the FUCK OUT...
PC version was a technical disaster , console version was not
heck when the DLCs came all where ... oh those cut assets now we have to pay for them , oh another dlc GREAT another cut assets
he was so pissed about this and full of it , he wanted to escape from it , make a small team and create games that are NOT BOUND BY MEDIA SPACE

| Quote: | Ghost Story was founded by twelve former Irrational Games developers and our mission is simple: to create immersive, story-driven games for people who love games that ask something of them. While we believe our new games will have strong appeal to fans of BioShock, our new focus allows us to craft experiences where the gameplay is as challenging as the stories.
We are not yet ready to share any more on our new game, but we invite you to join us and take part in our community, Sign up her |

| Quote: | Who is Ghost Story?
We’re a Boston-area game development studio dedicated to making immersive story driven games for gamers that like a challenge. The studio was founded by a group of former Irrational Games developers, such as creative director Ken Levine, art director Shawn Robertson, executive producer Don Roy and more. We’ve been concepting, prototyping and experimenting on a new game for some time now and have attracted new talent along the way. You can learn more about our team and our vision here.
What happened to Irrational Games?
The Irrational Games studio was closed in 2014. However, you might have seen continued activity on the Irrational Games Facebook or Twitter accounts. These have remained active because many on our team were key contributing members to BioShock and love engaging with the fan community. That is separate from what we are working on today. We are a new team, working on a new game and we’d like our studio name to reflect that. |

Strong spatial and layout design skills.

Who owns the SWAT-series license now?
Old quote
| Quote: | | This is from an employee of Irrational Games(IG CHRIS) "Games formerly owned by Sierra, Vivendi, and their subsidiaries are now effectively owned by Activision, following the merger of Activision and Vivendi Games. As far as I'm aware, this includes the SWAT series. " |
Really? Still?
