Riddick devs to revisit EA classic in mystery project

by Jason Dobson on Feb 21st 2008 11:00AM

Electronic Arts announced that it is working on a new project with The Darkness and Chronicles Of Riddick devs Starbreeze Studios to revisit one of EA's "most acclaimed classic franchises" for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. As for which one, EA's keeping mum, simply dubbing the effort Project RedLime and leaving our imaginations to run wild.

Work has apparently been ongoing on Project RedLime for some time, as Starbreeze CEO Johan Kristiansson comments that the team is " already deep in development" on the project. Nothing else, and mean nothing, is known about the mysterious project, though EA notes that more details will be revealed "in the coming months," leading us to hope that this game, whatever form it takes, will be among EA's salvo fired during this year's E3. We're crossing our fingers for James Pond.

I like the sound of this Redlime...

mmmm Redlime.

What a Riddickulous project name.

NO U.

oh, i c wat u did there.

u win prize

Please let it be Mutant League Football or Hockey...

I'm also going to hope for MUTANT LEAGUE, with the blind hope & faith that EA just might for once listen.

That's what I was thinking. *crosses fingers*

Speaking of sports games... why not a new version of Dr. J and Larry Bird Go One on One!

Greatest basketball game, ever.

Yes, Mutant League Football is the clear best choice. Do this now, EA!

I've been wishing for a mutant league football game ever since my friend stole my genesis copy ten plus years ago.

I'm going to guess it'll be an FPS in the Crusader: No Remorse/Regret universe.

First franchise I thought about too.

But then was it really one of the most acclaimed? How about Wing Commander? Or a new Ultima?

I'll need a clean pair of undies if it's a new Wing Commander game!

James Pond? Now that game was the shit. Shame it never really got a sequel, just multiple rehashes.

Wow, why do people keep naming EA games from the latter years?

I'm thinking something like Archon or Jordan vs. Bird. Pinball Construction Set if Budge (who is at Sony now) didn't retain the rights.

I immediately though Archon, too. I really enjoyed that game, but it just doesn't strike me as Starbreeze's style since they tend to go for an FPS-style...

Archon really wouldn't work well as an FPS. But, maybe I'm wrong...

Road Rash!

Now that makes a TON of sense. I think you are the winnar.

My money was on Road Rash because I read it as Readline. Man I still love those games (genesis). Now im kinda disappointed.

I'm with Glen, first thing I though was Road Rash! Or hopefully we'll finally get a CFL game! PLEASE!!!

Please let it be System Shock!

Adjustment:

Please let it be announced that EA has given the System Shock rights to Irrational! (Well, the artists formerly known as Irrational)

Really though, I am betting on System Shock.

Doesn't system shock go to 2k along with the Bioshock team?

I would love a true system shock follow-up, but Bioshock sure had a lot of the vibe still.

System Shock has always been owned by EA.

Well, it would be cool - but it may clash with the Bioshock teams work and come across as copying it, even though SS was the first.

I hope it is one of the following:

Starflight - Awesome genesis game

General Chaos - Great classic multiplayer

Wing Commander - A good one and not a XBLA pieace of shit

Road Rash FTW!

It's Road Rash. Confirmed.

1.EA
2.Starbree
3.????
4.Profit!

New Ultima!

lets just pray its dungeon keeper 3

Come on Desert Strike

Since EA brought it up recently may be its another game in the Strike series.

Magic Carpet 3 or a new Populous. I will not accept any other answers.

"Classic" in the "ooh, look, we're all retro and stuff" sense, or the "now THIS is how you make a game" sense?

If it's the former, my money's on Skate or Die.

If it's the latter, I expect StarFlight (EA does own the rights, despite it being a Binary Systems game).

If it's neither ... Command & Conquer (which has never really ceased to exist) or a Strike game.

Starflight is owned by Binary Systems, they have given permission for an actual sequel to be made by some fans as long as it's non-commercial. No doubt they could always revoke that, but I'm sure we would have seen the project shut down by now.

I know Binary Systems made Protostar following StarFlight 2, though, because they didn't have the rights to the StarFlight name. Did they get the rights back at some point between now and then? I haven't been following the fangame.

Tsunami Media made Protostar. It was originally supposed to be Starflight 3 and published by EA, but EA couldn't work out a deal for the rights so the game was canceled. EA allowed Tsunami to finish what they had already started and release it themselves.

Ah, I had the situation backwards. Thanks!

System Shock, since EA owns the rights to that.

I'd like to see a Bioforge remake.

Considering it's called 'Project Redlime,' I'd say M.U.L.E. is a pretty safe bet.

It seems like I've been waiting forever for a Links 386 update...

I have to say a new game in strike series like desert strike or jungle strike.

It's Mail-Order Monsters (or Archon.)

I'm a genius. Thanks.

It's time for a ROAD RASH remake.. I really hope that's the case.. but GearBox?.. they make FPS mostly right?..

oops..my bad.. not gearbox.. Starbreeze. They haven't made any 'race' games either.

General Chaos! FTW!

EA owns the rights to the Syndicate series, right? I'd love to see a new version.

maybe they will finish and polish the darkness >>
