I know for fact that they were working on X-Com, and I'd heard what they had was pretty awesome. But that was nearly two years ago now, so it may have been dropped due to lack of progress.
Oh yeah, they definitely were, I even remember Dave Gaidar from Bioware saying he was looking forward to seeing it. Firaxis definitely were as well, though on a different game/ approach. But it seems unlikely either are now if IG is working on Spec Ops (or whatever it's called) as they wouldn't have the manpower to do production on two titles- though I suppose IG Aus should be just about finished on BS2 by now...

Zygo, Irrational having nothing to do with Spec Ops: The Line. That 3PS is being made by German developer Jaeger.

Ah, I stand corrected then. Have to admit I put Spec Ops into the 'not interested' basket pretty much as soon as news of it came out.

Yeah, I was just going to clarify that we do
not know what Irrational is working on.

No, it's just a countdown to the relaunch of the website. You should've read the linked article.
The relaunch of the website seems to be a lot more than just a goodwill move with the community features and historical stuff - I'm very (

Hi Guys,
In a related note, I thought you guys might be interested to know about Iron Helmet Games, a new independent studio in Australia made up of ex 2K Australia employees (The other half of Irrational Games).
I worked with Ken and Jon for nearly 10 years as a Lead and then Producer on Freedom Force, Tribes, Swat and Bioshock. I learnt allot from them in that time and now I'm using that experience to make my own games in the Irrational Games tradition.
Iron Helmet Games was created to make old school hardcore strategy games. The kinds of games you don't see much any more. We also love games about diplomacy and social interaction so we are building multiplayer games that encourage players to work together.
Our first game Neptune's Pride is in early Beta right now. The games not very "Looking Glass", but if you're interested I'd love you to come and have a look and give us your feedback. :)

Screenshots remind me of Stars, an old space conquest game which got played quite often back in the computer lab in high school during the 90s. (But not by me.)

Anything that brings back the Stars! model is awesome, by default.
