The Crossing from Arkane and Valve

my guess would be that is something where players fight each other controlling .. bots ?

A futuristic crusade?

Coop MP? Multiple storylines? Wtf.

Maybe its like the idea I had for MGS MP where other people would play the roles of generic soldiers and you'd be Snake....oh wait thats just stupid

Anyway, they definitely make you wanna hear about it, but so far there's nothing to go on. The stuff they showed in the trailer/teaser looked very nice though.

I'm confused.

From what I gather its a single player game with segments of the game, say like if this was HL2 one of the chapters being multiplayer.

Perhaps the narrative sections would be single player but when you get to the action sequences with armies or squads, all mp.

Yeah, it kind of seems like if your playing the single player storyline, at certain points or throughout the entire game it would cross with other players playing through their single player storyline. Maybe everyone has the same goals, maybe goals change based on decisions you make at the start which gives a variety on gameplay and interaction with other players when you cross.

Sounds pretty damn interesting to me at any rate.

so... sven co-op?

oh and btw the map in the video seems to be in france, i reconize the yellow mail cars of the french postmen, road signs, trashcans, and what looks like our very own bottles green containers

FRANCE IS GOING DOWN!!~

it must be a riots simulator !!!!

hahah...riot simulator

Arkane is French-based, aren't they?

Interesting to see Valve stepping more into the publisher sort of role as well (what with this and L4D)... Pretty impressive how they've gone from developer to distributor; wonder how big they'll go with it.

hahah...riot simulator

the concept is that you get to control real riot control police and beat the shit out of frenchies?

Not really relevant, but it was the next link on Game Videos and it made me laugh.

Sounds just like the concept for Co-operative play to me, and it's not like that has been in games since 1997.

I remain skeptical until they release more info.

Mh, sounds interesting but i wonder in how far the shown diferences from the guildwars concept and if it costs monthly or per crossgo or what?

Wohow, nice trailer

Fucking Hell, I download the .wmv because the streaming video was jumping like fuck and mostly all I get is a load of shitty conversation and about 10 seconds of game footage, what a load of crap.

Game itself seems promising, nice to see an original location for a change!
