    This actually looks pretty interesting and if this uses the same engine that they are talking about for "BF3" it opens up a lot of potential for the game. This maybe a console only title, I'm not sure, but it sounds like an Aeon Flux kind of game.

    We believe we’ve got freedom of movement that you haven’t seen in this genre of game before – it’s more like what Prince Of Persia has done, but in firstperson.”

    When I first read this, I started thinking Portal. It does remind me a bit of the idea behind portal. But, the more I read through it, the more I think it sounds cool, but can they deliver the goods?

    The really interesting part was the comment that they started prototyping in BF2. HUH? Really? So that's why we got a zipline and grappling hook. 😛

    Sarge, I think you are right about this being for Consoles only. I remember a while back they announced they were working on a console only project, but until now, they have not announced anything.

    Maybe they will take some of what they learn with this game and apply it to BF3 in an urban environment.

    Oh and I especially loved the comment about, we realized people were jumping in vehicles, driving a short distance, then jumping out. DUH!

    They do realize that just about everything they talk about.. -besides the use of firearms- was done in Assassin's Creed. Weapons were used.. Parkour was everywhere.. walls were scaleable in different fashions. It was all quite nice.

    Bah but its supposed to be drop dead new and gorgeous.. we will have to see. Just because the viewpoint doesn't show the body...

    It just occurred to me. EA is Valve's publisher. I wonder what they think of EA taking their ideas. First portal and this, then TF2. Hmm.....
