Off the back of winning game of the show at E3, we’re looking for lots of talented people to join us in Australia. We’re working on the sequel to one of the best loved PC franchises of all time. I think gamers are going to go nuts when they find out. So, why not come and talk to us about being part of it?

I really love the FF games but they're not considered to be "one of the best loved PC franchises of all time".

They're looking for people that can work with the UE3 engine and "Mech and Tech concepting ability – weapons, vehicles, technology etc".

Deus Ex 3, Max Payne 3 (Take2 bought the license expensive a while back so it makes sense) or a new Mechwarrior game are the most likely candidates.

...then it's a sequel to Tribes 3 but they are currently working on Bioshock, sequel to System Shock 2!

Bioshock is not a sequel to Shock2, it shares many of the ideas though. I dont believe Tribes qualifies as "one of the best loved PC franchises of all time", far from it.

It shares some similar RPG elements but that's it..it's not the same universe or even time period and of course, there's no Shodan, so it's not the same shit. It's like saying Splinter Cell is the sequel to the Thief series..

Take2 has the license for Mafia, and Take2 owns Irrational. But it sounds like a high-tech game judging from their site (job section).

"understanding of and desire to create first-person shooter gameplay", hmm, doesnt sound like they're doing a RPG Sad

What is the point of this one...a guessing game or what?
Sorry if I am ignorant here, but I can't see it.
For sure there will be a SWAT 5 and another Hitman...what other big franchises is there that these guys did ?....Deus Ex is the best Loved game etc etc ?...naaaa no way!
Well if you are up to the task why not just apply and you will find out.
