Wow, finally a decent American Survival/Horror game... and from the creators of the genre no less. If nothing else, I hope we can look forward to some
good voice acting/writing for a change. Let\'s see how the Japanaeese like jumbled up sentinces and increadibly dorky sounding lead characters.
Bob, I don\'t see how you can be really "Blown Away" by these pics. From the looks of it there\'s really nothing special there aside from the way the flashlight/torches light up the pre-rendered background. Now if it was all in 3D.. then I\'d be really impressed. But it\'s not. This is really just a very pretty version of the same basic "Graphic Adventure" enviroment used and modified throughout the years from games like King\'s Quest 1 up to Onimushia. Hell I bet the programming is actually very similar to some of those early 1980\'s games.. replace sprites with polygon models.. define hotspots and parameters.. set up triggers.. ect.. ect..
It does look badass though, and it\'s definately a must rent if not a must buy simply for the experience and to see how they continued the storyline. AitD series kicks ass.
