Rumor: IO working on something 'unlike anything else' photo

I'd imagine nearly every developer yearns to create a game that's unique, a special snowflake that will defy comparison, forge a new path of gaming innovation. But it's not always like that. Sometimes, you get a game like Kane & Lynch (third-person shooting, with third-person shooting mechanics) or you have to develop five Hitman games. 

Such is the case for IO Interactive, who (having just released the solid Mini Ninjas) is currently working on Hitman 5 and a Kane & Lynch sequel. But a source has told CVG that the developer has something else up its sleeve, a multiplatform title three years in development that's "unlike anything else."

"Imagine all of the violence of Hitman and Kane & Lynch but not scripted," said CVGs source.

What that could mean is anyone's guess. I await your speculation.

"Imagine all the violence of Hitman and Kayne & Lynch but not scripted,"

Does not make any sense unless they are making yet another sand box game.

It can be either:
a) A kick-ass procedurally-emergent-sandboxy stuff
b) Another deception :(

Well hopefully they can pull it off, almost all of the creative stuff that has happened has come from the PC mod community. But I'm more than skeptical to see a developer of these generic themed titles to actually make something unique.

They should stick to games like Mini Ninjas.

So... a game without any plot coherence? Doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

I don't want anything "unlike anything else" from IO, I want something like Hitman.

Maybe a game without guns and swords we need more of those. its getting to the point that everything with a gun or sword has already been done in some form or another. i wanna see hit locations come back in style like Dues Ex.

"Imagine all of the violence of Hitman and Kane & Lynch but not scripted,"

What does THAT mean? It's ultra violence, with really bad game mechanics and a stupid story-line, that will soon be made into a movie that no one will watch? Wow, mind blowing. Violence for violence sake is stupid, boring, and middle of the road. Everybody does that. I'm sorry, but if that's your description of "innovation", you'd be better off making a pong game.

Should be something like enhanced Dismount games (http://jet.ro/dismount/). But with blood, and guts, and gibs.

God I hope so. Such an under rated game and soundtrack.

It argues that a Greek naval blockade during the Trojan War kept Trojans on the European shore from intervening, and that they subsequently escaped to Italy where they were called Etruscans.
