Sure, any actual material is a ways away,but you can see this giving us fans some sliver of hope.

Even if it were, I am SO desperate, I would not f'ing care.
Just make a new Crusader or Magic Carpet, I will bleed for those things to have new releases.

Careful what you wish for ...

I expect we'll end up with something along the lines of Bioshock or Fallout 3.
Which will make me sad, because it shows a lack of vision.

Well, it's hard to have good vision with those money signs in the way.

A jaded crowd we've got on here tonight.
:o)
I'd rather have them bring the new releases than not at all.
And hey if the new releases aren't good, point and laugh and don't buy 'em.
I mean even a Crusader sequel that's a mix of Splinter Cell and Gear of War would be sweet, maybe it's not the right thing to do with the IP, but at least it will draw new audiences to an old IP they never knew existed.
See Fallout 3 for example; many hardcore Fallout fans were pissed off, but the game sold extremely well and brought that IP to a few million new players and a couple million old fans.
In my opinion that's doing right by the franchise and showing studios there is success to be had with bringing back old IPs

Elliot cautiously noted that Bullfrog's classics were "right for their time, and the trick with those games is coming up with what's right for the time now."
Oh, dear God, please don't let them mangle the Bullfrog IPs by bringing them to what passes for "up to date" in the industry right now...
I so want Dungeon Keeper 3, but I'd much rather EA had nothing to do with it.
And to the people mentioning the Crusader series, that was by Origin, not Bullfrog. Though the above sentiment applies to that series as well.

wise words yazleb
as far as series i'd like to see, in order:
dungeon keeper (hey, we've already got the spiritual successor--Evil Genius)
syndicate
populous

I think this is just some pr-stunt from EA. They trademark these IPs and watch how much buzz they create. It's an easy way to see the potential interest in future project and at the same time protects your IPs.
I wouldn't get my hopes too high. System Shock was trademarked again in 2006 and nothing has been heard from it.

Then again, the Fallout franchise is composed of mostly one great game and the rest goes from "good" to "painfully bad". It's not like the franchise needed to be discovered by anyone: Fallout has been around since 1997 and it's here to stay. People who are really interested into that stuff will manage to play it. You do not need a sequel to Arcanum to have new people playing the original, you just need to be interested into that kind of games. These are hardly obscure games that need more recognition, like the unfortunately unknown King of Dragon Pass.

This is more evidence that EA are desperatley trying to change their ways and we shouldn't be so negative. They have admitted they have made seriously bad mistakes in the past and they realise their image is very badly tarnished in the eyes of most gamers. However they are trying to change. The EADM is actually pleasent to use and they have released a de authorisation tool. Both Crytek and Criterion have not so far been swallowed up and destroyed as EA would have done to them in the past. Red Alert 3 was an actual attempt to reach out to the C&C fans and attempt to heal old wounds.
EA are aparently trying to change so I for one will give them the benefit of the doubt. Plus I will be very happy to see sequels to Dungeon Keeper, Populous, Syndicate, Magic Carpet, Powermonger and Theme Park. Though to see Dungeon Keeper 3 I would suspect EA would need to reach an agreement with Peter Molyneux who has gone on record as saying it was his baby and his property.

Hell, if they get Molyneux on board, abandon hope ye who buy this game.

Indeed. However, there's evidence they're kinda butchering Syndicate.

All I will say is wait and see the finished product. Ignore all the vitriol thrown at Red Alert 3 yes they cranked up the camp to 11 but it worked, it worked very well indeed. Many people that never liked the C&C games found themselves playing RA3. Mostly because it was an RTS with a great big dollop of silly on it.
