Topic: Remember Project Offset?

[Pugnate]

I remember watching a video 3 years ago and being totally blown away. It was posted at AOG and everyone was drooling. Looks like the game is well underway and will provide tremendous excitement for PC gamers.

Here is an IGN news item revealing some clever marketing tactics.

Here is the website.. you need to see it! (Do check out some of the vids)

Here is the coolest part. This will most likely be a PC game first, yet look at the hype:

Yeah, I sort of broke that story for IGN by posting it on the forum (they didn't give me any credit...bastards).

The few high res shots that have been released from the new promo look awesome. Its got a great look, with a sort of over exaggerated fantasy coolness.

Some of the videos are just amazing. I hope this remains a PC exclusive, and for some time.

I been looking forward to this thing for some time.

When's it planned for release...?
Or is it "when it's done?"

I remember seeing this.  Was it going to be a multiplayer thing?  It looked truly amazing at the time, though it's definitely gotten knocked down a few pegs with other recent developments.  Still, amazing is amazing, and this looks like it.

Yea PCG falsely speculated this was going to be an MMO. You are right, it isn't as breathtaking as three years ago, but this could be the game Dark Messiah wasn't.

I didn't think it was going to be an MMO, but I was thinking it was going to be a team-based multiplayer thing.  I can't remember why.  Then I forgot about it, and now I don't even know what the hell it is.  I just know it's pretty.

Pug is thinking of Red5, who licenced the Offset engine to make a MMO.

If it's the same thing I'm thinking about from before (it very well might not be..I haven't seen these new videos) I kind of doubt it.  I seem to remember them talking about how it should really show the power of the 360.  Then again this was before the console hit or right after and that could have just been something they said to generate buzz without actually having any concrete plans to port it.

But yeah, seems like something that will make me really enjoy my new pc...when I bite the bullet and buy it.

I hope it comes to 360 only because my current PC will not run this game.

Dark Messiah was good -- especially with the combat system.
I wish it was a lil' bit longer and had more to the plot itself, though.

Still, that one was worth my time, for sure.
