I dont know about a lot of you, but Ive been following this game since I saw it on Xplay in november...Anyway, for those of you who dont know, the game is basically this...Your Daniel Garner. You died in a car crash...But instead of being sentence to enternal burning in Hell or Wonderful life in Heaven, you are sentenced to a life of pain in Purgatory, the place between Heaven and Hell. But, a you meet a few priest's who can send you to Heaven, IF, you can free their temple of the demonic enemies that haunt it .

Just watch This video, and you'll be cream`n for it. (You can find that same video ^, but in lower resolution Here.)

Meh. It's not bad... But the basis of the storyline sounds like something out of a cheap horror comic

"...Trapped in a dark and unwelcoming world between heaven and hell, you struggle to uncover the reasons why you?ve been denied entry into heaven. Awaiting your purification, you must fight through a seemingly endless number of demon soldiers as you attempt to stop an imminent unholy war..."

sounds more like doom than quake, which is fine to me since I didn't like 1player Quake much. that's why I'm worried about doom3, it doesn't sound much like 'doom' gameplay-wise

downloading the video now....

[edit] whoa, very nice. looks like what DOOM3 should be like. also, I noticed lots of real-time physics effects, just like Half-Life 2 is supposed to have... except this game will probably be out first now.

[edit2] looked on their site.. the screenie popups weren't working so I found the directory they were in to browse it and came across a gameplay video that wasn't linked to on the site:

gotta say I love the 'stake-gun' or whatever it is, and the mix of slow-mo and physics looks like it would be fun as hell. does anyone know what game engine this runs on or is based off of?

was Havok developed by Valve or just something they licensed from someone else?

[edit] answered my own question:

Havok can be used with in-house graphics engines as well all third party graphics middleware solutions, including NDL Gamebryo, Renderware Graphics, the Unreal and Quake Engines.

I thought this was a big selling point for HL2, but it sounds like every other game will have it soon anyway.

I saw a video a while back and was not impressed. Looked to me like a mindless shooter complete with rip-off bullet time for no apparent reason other than "its bullet time". HL2, Doom 3 and Halo 2 will be getting my hard-earn...no thats not right, hard-loaned cash

No Far Cry?

I do not believe Havok was devloped by valve... ahh er we go http://www.havok.com/

google anyone?
