    Scribblenauts and Super Scribblenauts creator 5th Cell is moving on from its Nintendo DS-based franchise to do something that appears to be both tonally and mechanically completely different. Its new game is a shooter called Hybrid, and while we don't know much about it just yet, we do know it's slated for release on Xbox Live Arcade and it's using Valve's Source engine.  
      
    5th Cell's teaser website for Hybrid--which asks the question we most want an answer to, "What Is Hybrid?"--is up and available for browsing. Currently, there's a teaser video that shows off a ravaged, futuristic world. It also suggests that the game will feature two opposing factions: the Paladin and Variant. Check it out.
     
         
         
     
    Hybrid smells like a competitive online shooter that could, as evidenced by the bouncing Variant dude, offer up some interesting special abilities... but that's just pure speculation. Since this unveiling, 5th Cell has said that Hybrid will offer a "completely new gameplay experience never seen before in the genre." Those are big, bold words, especially from a developer with no previous FPS experience. But then, that might be exactly the right studio to do something totally fresh. Think they can pull it off?

    At this point, all I can do is shrug my shoulders a bit and hesitantly say, "Okay?"  I think 5th Cell is awesome, but I really have no idea what to make of this yet. Hope it ends up being awesome.

    Source, huh?  First Bloody Good Time, now Hybrid.  Wonder if there's any other third party Source games coming out soon.  Also I wonder if this will get a PC port since it's Source.

    Too bad it's source engine.  I love valve for steam but can't stand the way source feels for shooters.

    Here's the connection: You use an adjective and a noun to describe your special ability and will have to change it on the fly for maximum damage!

    Ha, I just came to post this myself, but looks like I don't have to. 
     
    These guys have balls to move onto something new and risky from a critically-acclaimed franchise that they only just started. Come to think of it though, Scribblenaughts was a risky game for a studio to make, both technically and whether or not it can be marketed to a big enough audience to prove worthwhile.

    Article titles either need to start showing the game name in italics, or to not have every single inconsequential word capitalized.

    Hmm, that guy did just come out of being invisible and then run on the ceiling before jumping down.  It'll still take a lot for this to stand out among the genre and even more for someone like me to take interest.

    I hate teasers like this that don't tell you anything. Movies do that all the time to try to get viral marketing. That said, I'm curious to know what 5th Cell's twist on it is. I don't see them making a generic shooter.

    will you be able to write what you want to use as weapons? "gaint flying green polkadotted awesome laser cannon" maybe? will you be able to summon a "tiny agressive pink dragon with angel wings"?
    joking aside, I wonder what gave them this idea, going from innovative puzzle game to possibly a generic shooter with minium experience in that area? it's not really a natural progression =/
