5th Cell will be releasing its first 3D console game on Xbox Live Arcade this summer, having pushed back the game to give it extra polishing. A new trailer went out today, which you can view above.
Based on feedback from early players, 5th Cell has redesigned Hybrid to feature a new look for characters, environments and the user interface. It's also overhauled its "flight-centric combat focused movement," as well as customization options, which are said to be "deep" and "on the fly." In addition, the game will now be locked at 60fps in 720p.
I've been a big fan of 5th Cell ever since Lock's Quest, so I'm looking forward to seeing how they handle a more "normal" game. Hopefully it's a good'un!

I'm glad they took feedback from their fans into account, but did the feedback need to be "make the characters look as generic as possible"...?
I'm interested, as shooters on XBLA have surprised me before (hello, Monday Night Combat), but I can't say this necessarily piques my interest any more than it already had been.
First I've heard about this. First time I've heard of 5th Cell too. This looks really fantastic. Does anyone know if it's online MP only? Not much of a multiplayer fan, but I'll concede if it's the only way I can play this game.
