Quantcast



Project Offset has been in "does it even exist?" territory for far too long, as far as I'm concerned. There's been a steady stream of tech demonstrations for years now, so yeah, it likely exists in some playable form. But will it ever be released? God, I hope so.

In today's video, we get to see some lovely particle and destruction effects. Cool stuff, I'll admit it -- however, I can only retain so much enthusiasm for a terrific-looking game when we're never shown any solid gameplay footage. At least it's in-engine.

I remember writing about this game. That was in 2006. *sigh*

@Niero... I'm right there with you... I'm curious as to what intel is up to with this project now.

This really needs to come out soon. I don't know how much longer I can wait to finally play a game set in a fantasy world.

I do not believe this is actually a game. Sadness says hello.

nice tech.. strange that it doesn't have a splash screen, end credit or anything like that. Its just a void video floating around in internet limbo

I remember reading about this game and being excited for it back before the 360 and PS3 even came out... something tells me this game is never going to be released. It sounded really cool though. Wasn't it supposed to be a FPS fantasy game where you used swords and crossbows and stuff like that?

I remember when one of the cutting edge features this engines had was motion blur.

Hrm. Perhaps it's just my lack of knowledge about this; but from the screencap, I almost expected to see the giant animated in some cool, faux stop-motion style. Definitely has somewhat of a Harryhausen look. :)

Kudos to the fact they dodged the whole 'stop, look at the camera, roar' cliche, too. I absolutely hate that.

I went through a "phase" of checking the Project Offset website religiously at least once a week ... for about 2+ years! I gave up when it was announced they were sold and posting help wanted ads. The concept of the game still has me excited and I really want this to happen ... it's my DN:F.

There is, however, a new theory that could make sense of the Phaistos disk.
