Trailer here!

shadowplanet.jpg

What's this? It's a new game project from Michel Gagné, the driving creative force behind tons of awesome animation (e.g. Iron Giant) for Disney, Pixar and others. The key word here is animation--watch the trailer, it's beautiful in motion. Currently seeking a publisher, it's supposed to come out in 2008.

Also it looks totally flippin sweet awesome oh baby!!!

    Everything about this trailer looks awesome to me, except for the actual gameplay. But ... maybe it's some sort of Metroidvania shump? I don't know.

    That is one heck of a Necro D:

    I was watching the trailer and I was like o_O 2008?

    The new trailer looked fantastic though. Some of it looked totally like World of Goo, which is really great. Anything on a release date?

    No platforms have been announced officially.

    Apparently there's shopping it around.

    I'm hoping for Live/PSN/Steam.

    Otherwise it's a no go, like my recent discounted Ikaruga purchase seems to be.

    Are you implying that a "Metroidvania shump" isn't awesome? Because that sounds to me like the most awesomest thing ever.

    Essentially just picture a normal Metroid game where the space jump is much easier to use.
