What’s the engine?
Proprietary, impressively enough. It’s called “Road Hog.” And because a built-from-scratch engine is a serious investment, we’ll probably see more games on it from the developer.

What’s the plot?
Hostile robot takeover. Only one human city remains–the bastion of Bezoar. It’s here that Major Fletcher, your character (the guy with the laser eye patch), takes to arms against the robot hordes.

When, and how much?
September 2011. Pricing isn’t announced, though we’d suspect it’ll fall somewhere between AAA releases like Battlefield 3 and lighter-weight “downloadable” FPSes.

Some sites are reporting it as an FPSRPG. Not sure where that's coming from. It's a straight-up FPS, isn't it?
 
Nice little teaser trailer, can't wait to see some game play.

I like that it's a PC exclusive, and single player only. Because I just do, that's why.

Well... since you put it that way. Was Bioshock an RPG?
 
Wait, Wooz's game, like the game from Wooz above my post?

It's got weapon switching, ergo choice, ergo an RPG.

Also hooray for another square jawed short haired protagonist. Wait, I think hooray was the wrong word.
 
Fully rendered teasers don't mean anything.

Cool to know that a boardie is part of a team that is making a game though.
 
I beg to differ. Only the main character and the logo sequences are rendered cinematics. The rest is in-game footagezors.

Don't think so. We followed it for GameBanshee but that was mostly on the hope that it'd by System Shock-like. We don't follow BioShock: Infinite and ignored titles like Singularity.

It's getting pretty popular to offer upgrades and stuff, but that does not an RPG make.
 
Of course not. But the games media dubs 'rpg' something with upgrades, and immediately calls it an RPG...
 
RPG has become a meaningless term today anyway. Because basically everything can fall under that umbrella. If you want to believe the "popular" gaming press.
 
Doesn't really show anything, sadly.

Really curious as to Woozy's work. When can we expect a gameplay trailer, Wooz?
 
Teaser trailers are for teasing.

A gameplay trailer, huh? Soon, I guess. Not sure on the details, but since the release date is in September and we got some cinematic and music people scurrying about the studio...
