Taking the Argo out for a spin!

Game Informer last month showed off an absofuckinglutely awesome looking game called Rise of the Argonauts, and the fact that there's no thread so far is a tragedy.
The description sounds awesome. Seriously, imagine a slightly more action-bent KotOR, with Jason, Hercules, and Atlanta in your party. No? How about Orion, Achilles, and Odysseus? Awesome.
It follows the familiar tale of Jason, and his beloved's assassination on the eve of their wedding. He is tasked with setting sail on the Argo, a ship that was to be their wedding present, and finding the Golden Fleece, which is said to have healing powers. You travel to around 15ish islands, meeting new characters, performing quests, letting Hercules rip enemies in half.
Character development is related heavily to your influence with different gods, as would be fitting of a game based in Greek mythology. You curry favor with Ares, Apollo, Athena, and Hermes... completing quests, and dedicating that deed to a particular god will greatly increase your favor with them, but sometimes angering other gods. If you royally piss gods off, they won't lower your skills, but they'll let you know they're mad... Hermes using the wind to mess with your characters and the like. It's a cool change to the normal experience system of RPGs.
In the end, the game looks awesome, even if it is a long way away. Obligatory pics:
Following is ever so slightly NSFW:

Jason got a bit fucked up
Artemis and Jason meet.

That puts Titan Quest to shame!
I am pretty sure that none of those people were Argonauts.
Leave it to me to point out trivial and unimportant stuff!

That's not Hercules.
This is Hercules.
I was also desparate for this thread to have this.
I do, however, heartily approve of greek ass-kickery. There needs to be more greek ass-kickery games.
And westerns.
The cutest damn thing ever created!
Seriously, if you can honestly say that you can look at it without smiling, then you are lying.
And the "bow" is Kyle's beard sloppily pasted on top.

Keep this shit up, and Hercules will rip you in half.
Seriously, half the fun is adapting mythology to new levels of cool... Kratos didn't exist before God of War came around, but both games are awesome, and he is a bad motherfucker.

All I'm saying is if you want to use Odysseus and Achilles, make a damn game based on The Illiad and/or The Odyssey.
Seriously, someone get on that.

I like the cut of your gib.
I'll still take them in this, though.
The trailer was nice to get tonight, and I'm dying for some more info.

If there's no Golden Fleece though, well, fuck them.

And samurai.
We need more of that.

But "Ragnorok" is a really cool sounding word.

I would actually like to see a game involving characters from all the different mythologies and religions
Hercules vs Jesus FIGHT!
But oh god think about Combee for just a second.
It has three heads. It is like the Cerberus of insects.

"Taking Aggro out for a spin"
But... this looks pretty cool too. What platforms is it going to be for?
Rock Band DLC | GW:OttW - arrcd | WLD - Thortar
Watch the clicks on that spoiler button go through the roof!
Marvel Ultimate Alliance, but with gods and heroes from world Mythology. I could have a team with Monkey, Hercules, Tyr and Horus. Oh shit, someone make this game now!
Too Human looks like it will fill some of the craving.
I hope these guys will be present. Anyway, I don't see a format listed... is this on the 360, PC, or what?
Nothing's forgotten, nothing is ever forgotten
ZOMG DIABEETUS X 3
I really like that Artemis.

Just once, I'd like to be able to go on XBL, and NOT be called a mother-fucker.
