    I just watched the tech demo again. God i love how the music and the rain perfectly mesh to highten the sense of tension. Then the line "Obviously when you get home you don't expect a thing so I press the fucking gun against your forehead and take a few seconds to watch the fear grow in your eyes". OH MY GOD!!! I forgot how wonderful the video really is. Does anyone know if they're gonna make a full game out of this? Or even just using the engine to make a game?

    yeah, it is going to be a full game.  Probably in the vain of Indigo Prophecy.

    i hope that female character would have strength like that in the final game, would make a more relatable feminine protagonist than Lara Croft.

    I watched it again as well recently...didnt realize the face animations were that wonky.  Other than though, I agree...It was a very well done teaser and i hope we get to see more soon.

    I'm impressed with the vid I saw of it.

    I'm also impressed with how this and MGS4 managed to avoid falling in the uncanny valley. It's like they managed to leap it by making the characters look real enough.
