From 2007-2011 Frontier worked on a game called The Outsider, which turned into a Bourne Identity tie-in with Codemasters. The game got eventually canned due to funding being pulled but Frontier still own the IP I'd expect. So, purely speculating, given the GTA style gameplay and FPS/ Third-Person viewpoint, could the original concept be adapted to become what David Braben and the devs have hinted at will come to ED ? If so, then this gives a hint of what to expect....
