Intel: Look for an update on Project Offset in 2010 photo

Before we jump into this, let me catch you up to speed. It's my job to obsess over these sorts of factoids, and even I had forgotten about some of Project Offset's history. Every time the first-person fantasy game is shown in any capacity, it looks absolutely gorgeous.

Problem is, we have little reason to believe the game will ever be fully released. It seems a fair amount of people were speculating that Intel (who owns developer Offset Software) wanted to use the jaw-dropping game to pimp its now-canceled Larrabee graphics chip.

Big Download got in contact with Intel to see if that means even worse news for Project Offset, but apparently it doesn't; we can "expect an update in 2010." I suppose the update could be something along the lines of "sorry folks, we scrapped it," but I'd like to think otherwise.

I remember pre-ordering this in 1983.

I wish they would just announce some release date, maybe 2015?

I saw an images for this in I think EGM years ago. I've been wondering for awhile what it was from. I guess it doesn't really matter now.

Wait what? They wanted to use this to promote a general purpose GPU that they were making? Why? Intel owns a development studio? What's going on here? I'm so confused.

Taking bets on which magically materializes first: A. Half Life 3, B. Project Offset, C. Duke Nukem Forever.

LOL

I remember being all hyped up for this game like 6 months before the PS3 was set to be released.

It looked amazing back then. I don't imagine it would be all that special now.

They missed their window of opportunity in my opinion.

Lol @ pretty much all the comments.

I was wondering what happened to this game but could not remember the name of it! Yeah, it looked awesome from the stuff they showed before the PS3 was even released. And now you are telling me we can ride aardvarks!?

No, it's too good to be true.
