I watched this without sound last night and my reaction was: ok pretty but snooz- HOLYCRAP BLOOD. And I was mildly impressed.
But I just watched it with sound. Omg sound design? Scriptwriting? I haven't seen those in games since... since... who knows when.
Sucks that it's just console garbage, but I was impressed by those two things. Props to whoever decided to put more than pretty graphics in the trailer.

Oh man this looks rather awesome. I'm glad someone made a thread about it, I saw the name mentioned elsewhere and ignored it.

So what's it like being fantastically ignorant?

man, that beginning when the violin kicks in really reminded me of Arcanum

The track is Lux Aterna by Mansell, btw. The brilliant but terribly overused soundtrack of Requiem For A Dream.

Nintendo have pretty much run the whole "parallel light and dark worlds" concept in the ground though.
How so? I can only think of two Nintendo games that sported the light/dark world mechanic. Two games that came out about a decade apart.
Neat looking game, by the way. I sorta got a nice Planescape vibe from it.

This game has grown in my head like a tumor, can't stop thinking about it. I've never heard of the developers, and the publishers are responsible for Legendary and Section 8 both of which I recall being pretty bad. I seriously hope this game doesn't turn out to be tripe.

Looks like you're forgetting Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. Considering that and Twilight Princess were two of the last AAA titles for Gamecube, I'd call that a saturation.

Well, themewise it looks pretty cool. But is the anything to indicate that gameplay wise it will be more the Devil May Cry or God of War with steampunk skins?
