Citizen Skywatch!

 

It's a placeholder, registered by Take-Two, same domain area as Rockstar Games.

Probably related to new Bioshock?

I was going to agree with you, because that font looks very Art-Deco, but then I remembered somewhere else I'd seen that font before: liesdamnlies.net on the GTA IV internet. And that reminded me of how much R* have liked to put their logo in the skies of some of their noted franchises. So, there's that. However, there's nothing more than speculation at the moment, and who'd want to fill a thread with that?

 

EDIT: There's now a Twitter feed and a Youtube channel. "Teletype" seems to clinch it for you, illspirit, though it could possibly be Agent. Teletypes were around for ages

Hmm, yea, I almost forgot about that. It could be related, or it could be they just like the font.

I was thinking Agent, citizen skywatch sounds like people being monitored by satellite.

That fits in with the whole government conspiracy, spy sort of game.

...that's set in the early 70's? I don't think they had that "Enemy of the State" tech in those days. I think it's B:I too - it's set in the sky isn't it?

Oops an oversight on my part.

Look at the address carefully, the exact floor (4th). Neither 2K Games nor T2 is on that floor; it's the publishing/marketing department floor at Rockstar Games.

 

EDIT: Meh, just noticed other 2K domains like mafia2game.com and xcom.com also have the 4th floor listed. Viral marketing fail.

Thats the first thing that came to my mind too.

 

Very interesting!

 

EDIT: Twitter has been updated:

 

 

TX confirmed. Citizen Skywatch Teletype now active. Standby for urgent alerts. #CitizenSkywatch

This is highly likely XCom (from 2K) for the following reasons:

 

Look at the twitter account and note the "teletype" reference, https://twitter.com/#!/CitizenSkywatch

 

In an earlier released trailer for XCom, you can clearly see a teletypewriter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8otmMpaIdQ

I'm not sure if this is for XCom since XCOM has already his website. The IP's diversity are coming more from 2K (Bioshock 2, Mafia II, Borderlands, Civilization5 etc) then Rockstar.

 

Possible a new game as 2K developers and Rockstars publishers.

I'm sure details will be released at Gamescom in a few days, or it will at least be mentioned. If Take-Two is there, then an interviewer might ask what it is if they don't release details.

Or they indeed are trying to open another website, special for XCOM. The same they did with Bioshock 2 - somethinginthesea.com

After watchng the Xcom trailer, I'd definitely say it's related to XCOm.... or at least Bioshock. Kinda dissapointing because I'm not looking forward to either game.

Plus, is it just me or does xcom look terrible? ...especially the graphics... it just looks absolutely horrible.

 

I'd love for citizen skywatch to be associated with Agent, of even GTA 5, but that's a stretch. Hopefully we'll at least get some kind of announcement at gamescon regarding either.

The site has updated with a blog and registration forms. Also, it links to a XCOM forum, so that little mystery is solved.

Funny that whatever this was going to be, I was interested. All the options were games I'm looking forward to.

I'm a game developer, by profession and hobby. Professionally I've tended to work in tools and as a result I have a certain love for pipelines, iteration times, workflow issues, and other related stuffs. smile.gif

 

I've worked on Just Cause 2, All Points Bulletin and an unannounced project at Rockstar North.

 

Citizen Skywatch's website has a heading: "All Points Bulletin"

All the XCOM fans hated this when they first saw it, so they made "Enemy Unknown" which was a success. XCOM the FPS was thought to have been cancelled, but bwill be relaunched on APR 26...which is today

Here's the rest of it

 

 

 

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified Available 23rd August

in Australia and New Zealand

Call the shots, pull the trigger, and erase the truth in the origin story of XCOM

 

 

Sydney, Australia – 26th April, 2013 – 2K and 2K Marin, makers of BioShock® 2, announced today that The Bureau: XCOM Declassified will be released on 20th August, 2013 in North America and 23rd August, 2013 internationally for AUD$89.95 SRP on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and for AUD$79.95 on Windows PC. XCOM: Enemy Unknown, developed by Firaxis Games, dazzled turn-based strategy fans and rebooted the classic franchise. Now The Bureau will deliver a new experience within the XCOM universe.

 

Set in 1962 at the height of the Cold War, The Bureau tells the origin story of the clandestine XCOM organization’s first encounter with a mysterious and devastating enemy. Originally established as America’s covert defense against the Soviet Union, The Bureau must adapt and overcome a threat unlike anything the world has faced before. As special agent William Carter, players will call the shots and pull the trigger, leading their squad of agents in the high-stakes secret war for humanity’s survival. Paramount to repelling the outside threat is The Bureau’s ability to cover-up the enemy’s existence in order to prevent worldwide panic.

 

“We’re thrilled about 2K Marin’s refined vision for The Bureau: XCOM Declassified,” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. “The game has evolved through a creative and iterative development process, and the result is a narrative-driven experience that is smart, engaging, and challenges players to think tactically.”

 

“The Bureau tells the story of XCOM’s mysterious beginnings,” said Morgan Gray, creative director at 2K Marin. “We’re expanding the universe with a declassified tale of government conspiracy and heroic cover-ups told through third-person tactical gameplay.”

 

In the spirit of the XCOM franchise, The Bureau’s calculated combat design requires players to think and act tactically. The game’s third-person perspective gives the player a sense of spatial awareness and grants them the freedom to transition in and out Carter’s unique Battle Focus ability seamlessly – heightening the tactical shooter action. The Bureau also fully embraces the concept of permanent consequence. As our last line of defense, every command can mean the difference between life and death for Carter, his squad and mankind.

 

“The team has been working hard to leverage core XCOM elements like tactical decision-making and permanent death of squad mates in a purposeful way that makes this a unique tactical shooter,” added Gray. “To that end, The Bureau will challenge players unlike any other third-person tactical shooter.”

 

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified can be pre-ordered today at all participating retailers. Those who pre-order will receive the Codebreakers side-mission as a bonus. In this special campaign side-mission, a communications facility responsible for intercepting and interpreting the enemy’s transmissions has gone dark. Special Agent Carter and his squad must make contact with any remaining personnel and investigate the incident.

 

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified is not yet rated by the OFLC. For more information, please visit Facebook, or the official web site: http://erasethetruth.com.

 

2K Marin is a 2K studio. 2K is a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO).

 

About The Bureau: XCOM Declassified

 

The year is 1962, JFK is President and the Cold War has the nation gripped by fear – but a far more powerful and insidious enemy than communism is threatening America. Known only to a select few, a top-secret government unit called The Bureau begins investigating and concealing a series of mysterious attacks by an otherworldly enemy. As special agent William Carter, players call the shots, pull the trigger and lead their squad in a gripping third-person tactical shooter set within a high-stakes, covert war to protect humanity. The Bureau has been erasing the truth for decades. The time will come for the truth to be revealed.
