Impressive technical apart from the animations.. I really like the way light is factored into it.

Recently I played through half life 2 for the first time [I finally got into it] and was impressed by its use of physics, this seems to step it up, what we really talked about next gen.

But then again knowing what the other alone in the dark games where like [not to my taste] it could just be a good engine on a crap game, lets see if it takes the resi4 route..
Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

It does look impressive. I like the approach they are taking with this, and hopefully like you said, is not going to be just a cool engine on a crap game. I sure hope the whole Atari situation doesn' t affect the development of this game.

The Alone in the Dark games were usually pretty solid, and they were pretty atmospheric. You can thank Uwe Boll for destroying the name!

Heh someone took the criticism from Doom to heart. Sticky-tape everything!!

Impressive engine though. Lots of new games have great lighting these days. I was really impressed by DMC4.

Here is a link from IGN where they got some hands on time with the game, along with a few new vids to checkout.

LINK

When watching the vids, all I could keep thinking about is just how fantastic the atmosphere is.
Most wanted games:

Mass Effect
Assasins Creed
Crysis
Little Big Planet
Drakes Fortune
UTIII
Kane and Lynch
Heavy Rain
Alan Wake
