Project Origin trailer: Alma just wants to play

by Dustin Burg { Mar 22nd 2008 at 2:00PM }

After watching the latest "Swingset Trailer" for Monolith's upcoming Project Origin, we have absolutely no doubt that the Lith are experts at creating crazy, twisted and totally freaky experiences. Then again, have we ever doubted them? Go ahead, give the latest Project Origin trailer a looksy and try to tell us Alma doesn't send a chill up your spine or that the swingset doesn't freak you out. Yeah, we've been harsh on Project Origin because of its "dated" graphics, but when it comes to building tension and totally messed up story lines ... well, Lith gets our seal of approval.

As soon as Monolith stopped being the developper for F.E.A.R., the rest of the series turned into feces (especially Perseus Mandate)...This is the REAL sequel to the original fear...

This looks awesome. Who cares about graphics? I wish I could just find one gaming site or blog that doesn't criticize a game based on graphics. Even with that said, I have no idea why you guys were being harsh about them. They look awesome. Bloody footprints on the hopscotch = awesome.

X3F, whatchoo talkin' bout? What is wrong with the graphics? If you've spent any time with FEAR you'll see an obvious improvement and I feel it holds up well to most other games in the genre. Did anyone else see the 17 minute video walkthrough on IGN? It was awesome.

So this is coming to the 360 as well? Hrm, decisions decisions. I played the original on my PC, but that's before it was available for my beloved console.

Some FPS translate well, some do not. I'd love to be able to sit on the sofa and play though. Tempting.
