Holy hell that is bad news. Better late than never...

I thought this was already out.
And what is with all these delays? Is nothing ever going to come out on schedule anymore?

I have great fears for this.

Since when has any console game even vaguely approached the subtlety and cleverness of System Shock? They're blasting on about the graphics too much; that's -not- the point.

This is shaping up to be a debacle like the Deus Ex sequel. Still, not to worry - with the obsession with "DirectX 10!" and Xbox-style graphics, unless I spend £1000 on my PC, I won't be able to play it anyway...

Slightly too late for my birthday then .. oh well ;p

Has anyone else seen anything else on the Irrational/X-Com rumour ? I've seen one report on a site I'm not sure I trust which claimed someone from irrational had listed it on the company sites game development credits, then hurriedly removed it when it was spotted, with further investigation showing that 2K actually own the rights to X-Com also..

They already know it, they just have a slightly different twist on it: "Better late than Forever."
