I said "yes definitely." Not because I'm sure it's going to be a great game -- I'm far, far from sure of that -- but because I know it'll at least be an interesting failure at worst.
I've had some issues with the direction they've taken the 'Shock series post-System Shock 2 (yes, I know they're different IPs, but the lineage is crystal clear) and all the media I've seen from this points to Irrational continuing to make a game that's really a glorified FPS. An FPS with an interesting setting and story, but still. I miss the "play how you want" adventure/RPG hybrid of the earlier games.
