It's worth noting that in addition to the below bolded games, Crossfire Co-op is quite likely, since Smilegate is there.

If I ever post something in Japanese which I don't understand, please BAN me.
I still can't believe System Shock 3 is a thing.
 
They announced the walking dead years ago and we still know nothing about it. I wonder if we'll learn anything here.

Well, we have a conference unveiling the game, and the thread about it has generated 3 replies in six minutes, so I can't blame people for not trying earlier.

I look forward to dozens of people comparing System Shock 3 to Bioshock.

Well this was an unexpected surprise! Starbreeze has quietly become one of the more compelling publishers in the industry and one of the shining examples of the mid-tier making a successful return. Can't wait to check this out!

Is Doug Church involved in any way with System Shock 3? I know that Valve hired him a few years ago but I'm not sure about his current whereabouts
 
I was fairly sure Overkill's Walking Dead was vaporware at this point so I'm glad to see it's still kicking.

Starbreeze is proving to be one hell of a publisher.

Starbreeze bought an engine company and moved their internal projects over to the new engine, so I suspect that was a lot of the delay.

They just did one of their big semiannual Payday 2 events, so I can't imagine what they'd have ready to announce for it here. Ongoing support continues through 2018, maybe.

They just announced another delay to 2H 2018, so don't hold your breath: PR, Google translated from Swedish

This is actually a great time for this. If they have things to show they really get to own the week without having to worry about E3. GI ma really looking forward to this

Hoping that scifi 4 player coop thing they've been working on for a million years is one of the unveils.

I need my Syndicate coop successor.

That one is Storm on this list, so I wouldn't hold my breath, especially given that Crossfire seems to be there, and I can't imagine they're successfully developing three games internally at once when they can't get The Walking Dead out the door.

Skip forward 8 years into the future.

>This System Shock 4 game sure reminds me of Prey and its sequel.
> You mean that old game with the native american protagonist?
> What native american? You were Asian in the first one and African in the second.
 
Looking forward to see System Shock 3.

Though I'm wary due to some of the early details they released several months before.
 
Can't wait to hear more about System Shock 3, but fucking hell, just announce Payday 3. Payday 2 is already dead to me. I want you to make a new game it shows that you actually give a shit.

But what about the true Starbreeze, Machinegun Games? Where's my new Riddick/Enclave/The Darkness?

Starbreeze recently said they're not going to make other single player games themselves, though they might license those franchises to other studios.
 
I wasn't aware they had really said anything about it beyond some staffing info. Link?

There's a segment about how they want to explore SHODAN's motives:
"In System Shock 3 I want to explore Shodan's motivations," said Spector. "In the first two games her plan was to destroy humanity because, with the removal of her ethical constraints by the hacker in the first game, she's going insane. But we never explained why she wants to destroy humanity. So we're going to be exploring the idea of a super intelligence and what would motivate a super intelligent AI."

Which I see it unnecessary since she is an AI with a god complex

Curious to see how their Walking Dead game performs. Feels like they're coming in on the tail end of the show's zeitgeist.

Can't wait to see more of System Shock 3. Although I am cautiously optimistic considering Ultima Ascendant doesn't look all that hot.
 
Ah dang, they're having a conference for my birthday. That's awful nice of them! Can't wait to see some Psychonauts 2! That tech demo they showed has me hoping for an eventual remaster of the first game.
