Guess most of you have seen this already:

Besides the (of course gorgeous) graphics, there's a possibility they're making a game out of it - I think that would be just hilariously cool. grin
Something different than the typical Badass Space Marine Blasting Some Heads Off stuff they have been doing the last, how many, ten years or so. Imagine a cyberpunk-rpg shooter à la Deus Ex with these graphics. tongue

Just watch the E3 video of Prey2, it looks very similar to Samaritan, especially the end. So Bethesda already makes a game like this.

I´ve read the technology paper two weeks ago, but didnt watch the demo until now. Great work, indeed.

I watched the Prey 2 vid already (am looking forward to it) - I see the similarities you mean, but still I think it isn't really similar all in all.

is the prey2 vid ingame footage? if so, we're really beginning to play movies.

If you wanna make a new type of game, make one where the overly-cool-hero helps up the old lady instead of overly-cool-lightening-his-next-cigar.

Seriously. Am I the only one who who worries about the old lady?!

I don't see any new type of gameplay here, even in the trailer the old woman is nothing, but a lame "initial reason" for the old ever repeating "techno muscles will save the world".

Technically, this is really good.

But I also have to agree that all this "coolness" is rather annoying and cheap. Like a trashy movie that is not bad enough to be good.

However, I'm not so sure about whether this video is meant serious at all. A smoking badass cyborg hero saves an old woman from brutal dark-skinned policemen and then just forgets about her? This is either black humour or really superficial.

wow, the line between cg movies and videogames ... its starting to really disapper. it will be interesting when 3d starts going back processors and voxels start to be more viable. imagine the animation detail that could be made with voxels....
