I think the color palette in this game is fantastic. It's so refreshing to see a first-person title that isn't brown/gray/green. The geometry looks quite ambitious too.

I'll need to see more footage to comment on the gameplay, but I'm definitely interested at this point. Triple bonus points for featuring a leading lady that looks like a real person. I'm so weary of the buxom Soul Calibur babes that have overrun the gaming landscape for far too long.

There's actually a point to that color palette too: to keep the interface immersive and HUD-less. Note how everything in the environment she can interact with is either bright red, blue or yellow.

It looks interesting. Maybe I'm a party pooper, but I found myself thinking: "This is cool, but it'd be so much more efficient if they would have used a third person perspective."

I suppose the idea is to head toward immersion, but there are plenty of ways to be immersed in a game that don't require a first person point of view.

Bravo for trying, though. I'll definitely give it a rent.

I've been looking forward to this game for a long time now so i hope it doesn't disappoint - so far the media released hasn't so i'm feeling positive

EDGE had a nice preview feature on it a while ago and i really love the cover art... am thinking of making it into a mousepad.

While I applaud the designers for breaking away from the standard FPS and videogame cliches, I think Zoid came close to something else important. Very few games are fun to watch someone else play for any significant amount of time. I feel like I could watch this for 15 or 20 minutes at a stretch and not get bored.

Here's hoping E Hunnie feels the same way!

Apparently The developers are using Unreal Engine 3. I'm surprised and really pleased to hear this. Thank goodness someone is making a game using that tech that isn't all brown/gray and shiny!

How did she not shoot herself in the leg?

A prettier version of "meh". Looks like it'll get repetitive very quickly...

This reminds me that I did a survey not too long ago involving this game. I'd totally forgotten about it until just now. It mostly had to do with boxart and which would make me more likely to want to play/buy it.

Who doesn't like a good DP?

I like the concept, the visuals and the sound (the sphat, sphat, sphat of running shoes, etc) but not sure I could cope with the first person view. At the moment I don't think it works but maybe, when you play, you get into it. I'd need to try a demo.

Edit for punctuation

Condemned 2 was a great leap forward in terms of First Person Melee (since Breakdown and Riddick) so I'm hoping they can pull off the awesome sense of kicking someone's ass in that perspective. But more importantly, I hope they flesh out her character with a solid story.

I just downloaded and watched the trailer again from PSN, I got goosebumps watching it in HD on my big screen. Gotta love the blue skies!

Give me the ability to leap across the tops of buildings, and I'll give you my dollars!

What has caught my attention in interviews is their stance against enemies as fodder that you clear to move forward. Plenty of games have chase scenes, but most can be beat with some judicious turtling or simply breaking the game logic. Will be tough to properly reward out-positioning enemies while not letting the endless swarm aspect get too obvious. And the whole game could choke on a ridiculous level boss. Yet I still have hope (and that feeling is almost worth $50 right there).

If nothing else, they'll raise the bar a little and remind other developers that it's okay to show some feet.

Thief is a twist on the first person perspective that was very immersive. I played it on my PC with my nose inches from the monitor. I wonder if this new twist will suck me in the way that game did. I could see how that perspective could make chases more involving and jumps more vertigo inducing. Yet, I wonder if I'll have to get the PC version and sit close in order for that to happen.

Are you sure you can do that?? This *is* the internet!
