Wow, impressive stuff, Barnie! Not only did you escape from Black Mesa, but you also managed to extend your appearances contract w/out Valve's knowledge. :wink:

Nice screens too, Doug. To be honest I hadn't heard of this game at all, but it looks fantastic. I thought at first that it was using the Source engine, but it looks like it may be remedy's own proprietary pixels. I visited the site, and liked this description from eurogamer:

Taking its cue from Stephen King novels and the kind of scary small town Americana that David Lynch explored so memorably in Twin Peaks, it's a free roaming action adventure that the makers of Max Payne are pitching as "truly next generation"

Carson Beckett from Stargate Atlantis? :P

MY GAWD -- that's him.

I think there's an alien clone invasion thing going on!!! :shock:

More screen shots

Man this is going to be one visualy stunning game !!!

Not a lot (if any) release info about it out there ?? :?

I can only find release dates for the Xbox 360 version and they range from 1/31/2006 at EB games (US) to ... 03/03/2006 at Play.com (UK) and June 12, 2006 at Amazon (UK) ... interestingly Amazon US doesn't seem to have the game listed yet ... :?

Here's a good looking game ... Project Offset

Check out their 1920x1080 HD Sneak Peek video in there downloads section ... it looks like it's going to be an amazing game ... :shock:

All their downloads download faster (for me) from here ... http://www.3dgamers.com/games/projectoffset/downloads/
and 3DGamers has a Crowd Test video ... which is pretty impressive too ... 8)

Alan Wake sure does look impressive. It was a hit at last year's E3. Project Offset looks absolutely amazing. Hopefully other developers decide to use the Offset Engine. I am also eagerly awaiting TES4: Oblivion.

Gawd, these graphics now days are getting good. It's getting too real. Those screenshots are the most impressive I've ever seen so far for a computer game, wow!

Amazing unbelieveable

Neat-O :)

I'd almost forgotten about this thread. I will definitely keep an eye on this one.

Paddy,

The jan 2006 launch was proven to be wrong. :( as per the news on the official game site.

I wonder what GFX card minimum this one will need? :roll:
