Personally, I can't imagine anything that could make SS3
worse than involving Spielberg. Look at what he did to A.I.. 80% of that film was pure Kubrick: a stark, emotionally bleak dystopian future, and the last 20% was pure Spielberg: incoherent, saccharine nonsense which gutted the movie's whole message in order to give the audience the feelgood ending which Spielberg, an overgrown child himself, thinks everyone else wants too.
i dunno man, saving private ryan had no feel-good ending.

I couldn't find anywhere that these three original games are specifically brand new franchises -- just that they're original games
not based on another company's intellectual property.

I guess I still don't see that as 100 percent preventing one of those games from being System Shock 3. It would still be a brand new, original game based on a franchise that is their own property. :thumb: I know it implies otherwise, but it doesn't 100 percent preclude the possibility.
In other news, EA has announced that they have licensed Unreal Engine 3 for several games. Perhaps one of those is System Shock 3. :D

Well I'm going to hold off my betting slips till more information (and more credited sources) become apparent. But either way, this ship can sink or swim 50/50. Who knows, maybe they'll get it right, maybe they won't. Either way with the amount of money it costs to produce titles these days, EA honestly doesn't want a flop, no matter how "pig-headed" some of their producers can be.

What good can come of this?

Well, 'The Dig' was apparently based on a Spielberg concept, and it was fairly good.
Eshaktaar on 22/8/2006 at 18:29
Spielberg came up with the (hardly original) plot outline, that's all.
Matthew on 22/8/2006 at 19:38
Which is arguably collaborating in creating a new franchise.
