They've got their name back, a shiny new website (http://irrationalgames.com/) and forum with a section for FF and FFvTTR and various other goodies. Interestingly enough, it turns out that they have absolutely nothing to do with Bioshock 2, which I find inexcusable.
Great for them!
I suspect that they may get sold by Take-Two (who is having financial issues) ? the "2K Boston/2K Australia" name was a less known brand and was too tied up with the current publisher.
As for Bioshock 2, it's being developed by 2K Marin, which includes a few former IG employees.
2K Australia is still a separate entity, and Ken says that they have nothing to do with each other anymore. In that sense, the old Irrational is not quite back.
hopefully we'll see some support for FF
Cool, I hope this is the beginning of many great things for Irrational...but also for us. :D
:thumbup:
Probably wont affect me but I'm still really happy for them, especially now that publishing through Steam can make a differece for small games. I mean not having a good way to publish :ffvstr: really screwed 'em over, but now they could do it again if they wanted to through steam and make a good profit.
Maybe they will finally let us have the patch for :ffvstr:. Maybe we could beg them to fix the throwing knockback issue out the kindness of their hearts. :)
This means nothing as far as patches go. Irrational was just renamed before and could have made a patch just as easily. They are still owned by 2K games. We aren't going to see any more patches. Sorry.

Yeah, I need to do that.
I've been posting some questions and comments, especially on the freedom force area.
Sign up, one and all. We need someone who can discuss minute man's sticky thingy!
I don't know how significant this is in real terms, but it surely can't be a bad thing.
I must register there and harangue them ceaselessly for more Freedom Force!
Well, at least they haven't completely forgotten FF. ;) http://irrationalgames.com/insider/man-bot-sketch/
It makes me very happy that Irrational have not completely forgotten FF. *grins*
Actually i would have liked to see them do that Zombie game prototype they had a video of on the site....
Well, let them do it as a mod for FF3. :P
I just saw this as i was looking for the FFEdit tool! I found it, but on my first try it said the page is missing(and i was redirected to the new page). This could be really good news.
