I just hope JS takes over the project as the leader and balances the fuck out of it. Gotta keep those hippies balanced.

I am cautiously optimistic in the sense that I'm going to give chance to Cain & Boyarsky game, but I keep in mind that in pretty much any creative field, be it films, games, books, music etc, the creators usually have about 10-15 years when they make their best or good work. For example, there have been just handful of film directors who managed to keep the quality up for longer than that 10-15 years, so don't be disappointed if this won't be masterpiece.

Pretty much. Tim&Leonard have never produced a dud when they worked together, so I'm certainly going to try this thing and I'll be willing to give them a benefit of a doubt if it seems like crap at first.

But being hyped about the game that we know nothing about, other than it exists and it's being made by two guys who made some classics 15 years ago? Get real. Boyarsky at least is coming off a high level job in Blizzard so maybe he's still on top of his game, but Cain, as much as I love the man, has done nothing of note ever since he left Troika. That was so long ago that Emma Watson was still in middle school, while now she's slowly entering MILF category.

Tim Cain is no longer the same person who was inolved with those games we so cherish. "His" new game will be nothing similar either. Prepare for major disappointment.
Why so negative?
What is actually going to happen is that Tim&Leonard are finally going to get enough time and money to polish and bugfix a game, something they were not able to do since Fallout 1 (I don't count games where they were not leads and not in charge). So my hope this game is another Fallout 1 god level game.

The opinions he shared in recent years (in interviews, speeches) point to a preference for streamlining and a depth of design that goes against a good many little things that made their past games such fine works. I only hope their game won't be insufferable.

Bloodlines should be the point of reference. Anyone could get into that if they were into the premise.

Sawyer will be there for some design talk with multiple designers IIRC but I doubt they'd announce this game in a GDC conf. Prolly at E3, if not gamescom.
