Promising Games Thread

[iSeize]

Objective of this thread is simple:

If you hear about a good looking game that you dont think will get much press, post videos / links in this thread.

Include the game's Platform, Release Date (if applicable), developer or any other info about it. The game doesn't even have to look good, someone else might find it interesting. This thread is mainly to introduce people to Indie games, but first looks of big upcoming titles are certainly welcome. :nerd:

Hawken looks fucking cool! What's it for? PC?

I couldn't find a trailer, but there's this cool door game coming out. Here's the premise:

ok, what if...
Imagine punching somebody so hard that they turned into a door. Then you found out that's where ALL doors came from, and you got initiated into a murder club that makes doors. The stronger you punch, the better the door. So there are super strong murderers that punch people into Venetian doors and shit

Sounds fun.

 

[iSeize]

i'd buy that game twice.

Blegh. I'm just waiting for them to complete the 'walking in stations' thing. The new Captain's Quarters component that's already a feature shows off the flexibility of the EvE engine fsho, and it's fucking sick graphics too

Also waiting on the new Mechwarrior

[Taylor Sith]

HELL YEAH on the Mechwarrior half...used to love playing that shit..!!!!!!!!!

 

[Genesis]

looks pretty good gunna waste some more money

 

[Arctic]

Last I heard Mechwarrior was gonna have some serious delays. Some fringe company apparently owned the rights to mech models they were using and made a ruckus over the trailer, sending out cease and desist letters and some other crap. Unless things have changed we could be waiting a while for that one.
