Arkane is probably closer to what he was doing with Deus Ex than Irrational. But I've mostly ignored Bioshock Infinite press so I don't know how similar it is to Bioshock.Quote:

Why ugh? Make shit game one, blame it on platform. Make shit game two that's almost exactly like shit game one, but multiplatform and get shut down.Quote:

I didn't think the first was terrible, though it definitely did have a lot of issues. The camera wasn't great but it was mostly workable, the paint/thinner puzzles were occasionally interesting but mostly boring, and the rest of it was pretty average for a PS2-era 3D platformer.Quote:

And in a 3D platformer, where movement is everything, that's an incredible failure.
The original was pretty far from shit. I haven't played the sequel yet. I wanted to see him get a shot at Duck Tales.Quote:

If Chux can't get through a game about Mickey fucking Mouse, it's digital AIDS and also worse than the fucking holocaust was for jewy jews
Spector hasn't made a decent game in decades. So I expect him to show up on kickstarter.
