Alex from Irrational Passions writes: "D4: Dark Dreams Dont Die is another case of the weirds, and anyone familiar with Deadly Premonition, Swerys last major project, will have an idea of what to expect. D4 is a bit different though, fully embracing a soap-opera style, from absurd intro cutscene to melodramatic and over-acted characters. Thats something to point out at the top here: everything absurd is normal here, and when you see a large man consuming five hot dogs in one bite, just take it in stride, because its gonna get crazier."

SCP is intended to serve as an unofficial patch for System Shock 2 that delivers an authentic but also highly polished SS2 gameplay experience—hopefully approximating the form SS2 would have taken if Irrational had had a few more months to work on it before release. All changes have been made with the intent of respecting Irrational’s original vision. The other goal of SCP is to upgrade SS2 to take advantage of the enhanced graphical features of the NewDark engine in those ways that are beyond the means of standalone mods. The guiding principle for SCP has been that SS2’s gameplay is fine as-is, and that its greatest strength is immersion—its ability to make players feel like they’re really trapped on board the Von Braun with all its horrors. So while we’ve tweaked game systems and made adjustments to the level geometry, the goal hasn’t been balancing gameplay, but rather eliminating those things that don’t make sense to the point that they take you out of the game. Anything illogical, gamey, or otherwise immersion-breaking, we’ve tried to correct. SCP requires System Shock 2 patched to version 2.43 (NewDark) or higher, and it's highly recommended that you use SS2Tool to do it. Also included is a preview version of SHTUP-ND, highly recommended for use with SCP.

The Kickstarter campaign for The Black Glove has officially been revealed by Day For Night Games, and independent studio comprised of former Irrational Games folks who helped make BioShock and BioShock Infinite. As IGN mentioned when the game was revealed back in June, The Black Glove is a narrative-driven, first-person adventure game which draws inspiration from The Stanley Parable and Gone Home, the latter of which was also developed by a team of former BioShock developers. The Black Glove takes place in the Equinox Theater, vaudevillian venue that seems to exist outside the confines of space and time.

Explore and reshape artists' lives to improve their work.
A team of ex-Irrational Games developers are making the game that so many critics of the studio called for: it takes place in a detailed world, much like our own but with a few compounding differences, and it stars strange characters, nonetheless sympathetic in their compulsions.
