Looks like a FPS version of Silent Hill.
Check out these cool movies from the PS2 version:

The character design is fantastic also (the nurse rocks). Reminds me a lot of "Thirteen Ghosts" . The actual model / textures on the characters are severely lacking though. Other than that, the enviroment graphics are sweet.

The general premise could work . Silent Hill atmosphere in a FPS. Personally, I would love to see a Silent Hill atmosphere FPS, \'cept the game would also have limited ammo (RE 1 style, baby!) and no music. Instead, you would walk around with different sounds haunting the area. Also, instead of trying to constantly make it a kill fest, a lot of the enemies would be more stealthy and pop out of corners,etc.
Now that is my dream FPS.

my thoughts exactly, it would actually be kinda scary if the models were made with more pixels....i think they need some tender love and care :cool:

:laughing: Not really holding your thoughts back.  Anyway I wonder if the game would be something like a first person eternal darkness that would be cool also.

I generally agree with mm.

I watched the videos that macabre provided links to, it looks pretty sweet.  Too bad the trailer had to use the horrible song "Bodies" by Drowning Pool.  
/me shivers

Game looks good tho, especially in motion.  Pretty cool physics engine they\'re using.

Just being honest...

And I\'m only judging by those pics.

Haven\'t seen the game in motion.

It should be a lot scarrier.  They can actually add more "jump-outs" and being that close to the action you know it\'s gonna scare the piss out of ya...it will me. :eek:

There is too much emphasis on FPS this generation.

Soon people will be saying, ugg, not another FPS.

I agree with Ashford.. the pics look like crap. Hope it improves since the premise sounds slightly interesting. = /

You gotta love how the bodies fly back when you shoot them in the right spot.

It\'s the PS2 version.  At least the videos are, they say so at the end.
