Fucrate: It’s marmoset, their own in-house-developed engine.
From the look of things, a very capable engine, and certainly very artist-friendly.

The idea of making a different game using World War I is certainly appealing if they profit the setting. Its was a hopless war, it had no heroes, no nazis, was absurdly destructive and cruel, if there is a war that represents the worst of human natufre is this one. It’s a excellent opportunity to explore it and make game with some meaning out of it.

Hopefully, someone will catch this opportunity.

@ Darkripper – see the article from a few days ago when we discuss how Trench Warfare on the Western Front was only ONE aspect of World War 1!

It’s eminently possible to do an exciting World War 1 game.

Doubt it. Too fresh in the mind and it would be crucified in the US press…

I bet one of the not yet revealed locations is going to be New York 9-11

Meh, I’m not holding my breath, after having high-ish hopes for that completely forgettable alternate history shooter that just came out. Thankfully, my crushed hopes will linger longer than its name.

The idea of a realistic WWI shooter just blew my mind: waiting days in the mud, then shot in the head by a firing squad or torn to pieces by machine guns during a charge.

And it would still be better than Hour of Victory!

So the idea is to “bounce around in time, putting right what once went wrong?”

Ehehe. I love Quantum Leap. The trailer for this looks really shoddy though.

I’ve always thought World War I would be a great setting for a survival horror game. Not even with any ghosts or zombies or supernaturalism, just have the player character slowly going crazy in a trench, and then you die. Something for Ice-Pick Lodge to make.

Anyway, this sounds interesting, though if it turns out to be a bunch of historic escort missions, it could be less than fun. But we’ll see.
