Hey RPS guys, you might want to add the ‘cryostasis’ tag to this article?

How combat heavy is the game? I’d love to see a survival horror game use enemies sparingly and build up a sense of anticipation and dread rather than just succumb to the urge to throw hoards of enemies at you.

It sounds like the mental echo and adventure portions of the game are fleshed out enough to try something like this.

@hydra9: Thanks. Problem is, I’m in South America. And usually second-rate publishers don’t care about us down here. That’s the problem I see with this game. Not sure how Atari will handle this.

Let’s see if this shows up on Steam.

“I imagine the various expenses that go into making a console game (development kits and whatnot) are one reason why so many European developers still make PC games.”

Not really. The main reason is that the two big console markets are still just he US and Japan. In Europe it’s mainly UK. The console market isn’t that big outside of these territories. Besides, a good PC game can sell even 8-10 years later because backwars compatibility is not such a problem as on the console side. Electronic stores in Eastern EU countries sell A LOT of older PC titles.

@NOT AN ALIEN:
The game has been picked up by Atari, who will be publishing it in the U.S.

Looking great. Hopefully they got a good publishing deal because I want that game.

On a side note, thanks for talking about the game, RPS. It’s a bit awkward how much we WON’T see many other gaming websites mentioning this game. It gives me the impression that anything that isn’t published by EA or Activision or THQ or Take2 isn’t worth mentioning, no matter how good it looks. I realize their *marketing* budget isn’t so big, but this game deserves more publicity. :(

I imagine the various expenses that go into making a console game (development kits and whatnot) are one reason why so many European developers still make PC games.

Anyways, I’ve been looking forward to Cryostasis for a while now.
