I wonder if it runs on a modified PGR3 engine. I always hoped they did a FPS like game with it.

3rd person shooter, and supposedly very addictive gameplay...for some reason that made me think of Geometry Wars. haha.

But if you go to the webpage they have concepts of some characters as well.

The last thing the 360 needs is another shooter, whether 1st person or 3rd. Developers need to steer away from the stereotype that Xbox players are all shooter junkies. I want to see more action/adventure and action/rpg games for the system. Come on developers! You're killin' us here!

Shooters are fun. Go buy a PS2 or Gamecube if you want boring adventure.

Totally agree...

I agree. However, if you take the time to think back as far as the Nintendo64, Mario64 was indeed the first 3D platformer. There were many titles that followed suit and once you played one, you played them all. The game Croc along with many others were just sad attempts at replicating the Mario64 engine. It's not the first person perspective of these newer titles that become long in the tooth, but it is indeed originality. For example Halo made fps games fun. I never cared for them much before then, but now the game's sci-fi intergalactic ambiance has been overdone to the point that it has become a major reference for fps projects. There are still alot of things that can be done with fps games besides feeling like a floating gun in space. We need character awareness. I want to know where my feet are and exactly how far do I actually have to jump to clear that hole up ahead. I want to use my hands to pick things up and slap somebody around a bit, all while still being in first person. Halo3 must use other tricks that may require the gamer to see Master Chief at times during gameplay. And he must have plenty of interaction with the enviroments if the game is to be more than just your average fps. Believe me, with all the power of these next gen systems, someone has to break the mold.

It´s always impossible to say much about these Artworks and concept pictures...
I personally kind of like the basic idea of the game so I´m interested to see more.
