Can't wait! I'll be picking this up for the Xbox360 for sure!

Oh, what a suprise. Didn't see that coming at all

Early days still, hopefully it'll turn out to be as good as these initial screenshots suggest.

Just spotted this on IGN. Coolies

... Worst. secret. ever.

Hahah, heck yes.

I pretty much haven't looked at anything for this game - where should I start ? The usual places like gametrailers and that ?

Off I go to see what all the hype is about..

Edit: Where the heck are the gameplay videos ?! Hell, I'd settle with gameplay screenshots, just something which isn't CG rubbish.

Not sure on actual gameplay videos, but here's a bunch of screens.

I'm glad it's coming out for the PS3, PC, and the 360. I wonder if there will be any graphical differences between the PS3 and 360 versions.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

From the screenies they showed at IGN, there are no differences...

No title yet as displayed any significant differences between the two platforms, and I doubt there will be for years.

 

[Stigmata]

Whoa, whoa whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

Whoa.

...

Lois, this isn't my Batman glass.

GI: What do you like about working on the PS3? How about the Xbox 360? Will there be any major differences between the two versions?

Högdahl: So far the two versions look pretty much the same – quite unsurprisingly, since we use the same shader source code and content for both platforms. They will be identical gameplay-wise. There will only be very minor cosmetic differences, such as the PS3 will have better quality video for the in-game TVs and on the Xbox 360 we have a bit more room for textures in memory.

So yeah, either version is superior to each other.

I think I'd rather have superior textures than in-game TVs.. unless said TVs are somehow amazingly important.

No. There won't be much difference...if any at all...

I actually looked at this game for once and I am pretty impressed, I haven't seen any actual gameplay videos though (If any exsist at the moment).

Agreed.

Let's see you could have the entire world be either high-res or have it lower-res but you get better resolution on videos for in-game TV's? Wow, I think I know which I would rather choose High-res for me please!

In-game TVs? I thought this was a medieval-era game >.>

I think they're talking about another interview/game, called Darkness, being done by Starbreeze on the PS3, PC and XB360. I admit to being confused to but googling the name and statements etc solved that for me.

- Surprise! About 10% of the game WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE PRESENT DAY/FUTURE. This is according to the Independant PlayStation Magazine America. So definately not speculation, the future IS involved.

I thought the same thing you did. What we've been shown is only medieval, however there will be some form of time traveling involved.

As of now it's not known what sorta differences there'll be between the PS3 and XB360(And PC) versions.
