Hybrid Welcomes You to Combat Focused Movement

Come to think of it, Scribblenauts DID have a lot of "guns" and "robots"...

the controls seem really wierd to me, but my biggest concern is the track record of downloadable shooters. 2 weeks online play then dead.

Finally some footage. Still doesn't look very original, but hard to say without playing it.

You had me at "persistent global risk-style metagame."
 
Though, admittedly, you lost me with pretty much everything else.

@buft: You mean besides Monday Night Combat, right? Because last I checked, that game was still thriving.

Yeah, I can't think of anyone more suited to shift the online shooter paradigm than the guys who make cute puzzley DS games.

Max has finally destroyed the world with his powers to create anything just by writing it. 
He typed in "World Domination" and destroyed everything in the process.

Awesome! I really hope it is close to a cover-based Monday Night Combat.

@528seven: So what since they made those 2 games now they are stuck making those kind of games? 
Good thing Blizzard didn't continue making Side scrolling platformers and not try to make RTS games.

Maxwell Industries, eh? Could this possibly be the same universe as Scribblenauts? (No.)

@Nikral: Sure they can make different types of games, but online shooters are not the easiest genre to break into right now. In fact it's hard to be anything more than a flash in the pan even as a studio with experience in that area, since there's only so many MP games a person can put time into, and a million established franchises to compete with. Unless this is polished right out of the gate, and realizes its ambitions well enough to stand out (like Monday Night Combat) it's going nowhere. And even then, who knows if it will have any longevity. It wouldn't be the first good MP game that died prematurely on XBLA.

Don't forget even if you HAVE that established brand (Tribes anyone?) It is still hard as heck to make it in the MP shooter world.  Personally I wish these guys the best of luck but I'm not holding my breath.  I am looking forward to trying it though! :)

I know right! Remember when we got Mirrors Edge. That wasn't perfect but it was interesting.

yea, it's annoying, really. what's the use of having a PS3 that has FREE god damn multiplayer when all the really cool multiplayer games are made 360 exclusive? I will not pay for xbox live but I wanna support/play this game if it turns out good. Why make it so hard? :(

So they went from, "Hey we have these great new game ideas!!" 
 
To, "Hey, shooters make LOTS of money. Let's do that!!" 
 
An other indie sold out. Even though they said they wouldn't, CAREbear.

I'm not sure "sold out" means what you think it means. Besides, it's already obvious that this game plays nothing like any other shooter that exists so far, so... I really don't know what the problem is.

I wouldn't think much of this if I didn't hear that dude talking about the combat focused movement on the podcast last night. That alone has me interested.

What is this? I can't even tell what is going on.  Combat focused movement sounds will most likely amount to cover and attack. Haven't seen that before...

From the creators of.... 
 
 
That... 
 
WHY IS THAT THERE? 
 
Also, it's called "cover based shooter" not "combat focused movement", someone should really tell them that we already have a name for that. 
 
EDIT: I watched the interview, and oh. Totally different. My bad. But I'm leaving the rest up because this trailer doesn't explain shit about how it actually works.
