I knew it! The demo we saw at GDC he was like this is our tech demo, which he was playing the marine. I was like this is a tech demo, looks more like a prototype game!

So what. If we were going by that logic, movies would have stopped being fun ages ago. As would games because most games (and most GOOD games) haven't been truely original for quite some time now.

I think it's pretty impressive. Curious to see how it plays.

I'm more curious to see how it runs

But yes. This looks mighty spiffy. Will definitely be interesting to see gameplay footage and what they're trying to do with it.

Indeed, this will be really fucking special if they take advantage of the streaming technology to have huge battles.

I hope its not an FPS.

So freaking hot game

I hope its not an FPS.

Judging from the video link klein posted, it's a third-person shooter.

It looks nice and dandy and all (doesn't all nextgen tech?), but I hope they go all the way in different areas than graphics as well. More varied sounds, improvements to AI etc. Sooner or later, some company will have to make advances in those areas as well, instead of "just" upping the polycounts and cramming in more DX9 shaders.

Yeah thats what I was thinking insta. Looks kinda like there might be a res evil 4 style aiming system or something, which I'd prefer to another FPS to be honest.

Personally I'm hoping for something a little more creative and zany from the Xbox 360 launch titles. Jet Set Radio Future was the main reason I bought an Xbox (I bought it with that, Project Gotham Racing, and Halo - that was one hell of a first set of games!), but nothing from the list of 360 games I've seen jumps out like that did. Its early days though, and very few of the titles announced have screenshots or even much info, so I guess I'll just have to bide my time.

I doubt we will see many inventine and zany games coming from well-known companies in the future. Production costs for these next-gen games is probably insane, and why make a 40 million dollar game with experimental gameplay and maybe turn a profit, when you can instead make a 40 million dollar game with tried and true gameplay and be sure to make a profit.

If you want new gameplay, follow the games made by the maker of Black and White (god, what was his name again? I know for sure I couldn't spell it in a million years), or play wacky flash games
