Estimated at March 30th 2007 for PC only at minute but could be a 360 version (but not announced yet) but has been delayed for years now so might be another slight delay in pipeline yet but hopefully they wont hit anymore issues.

Not a problem, ive been following this games production for years and hope it reaches expectations after so many problems with the AI and Free Roaming style and the bugs they have had to fix and modify over the years and changes that have had to be made. I think for vision and scope alone this games deserves recognition and people reminding of it.

Seems like a futuristic Oblivion

Only in the sense it was meant to be free roam but ive heard that it will have some limits now due to AI issues and things like that but at 40-60 hours apparently thats HUGE for a shooter. Same kind of AI style as Oblivions Radiant AI but more advanced in ways aswel which is one of most interesting looking systems ive seen.

Sounds like fun maybe also a bit like half life?

Also about oblivion i love it and i mean LOVED as in ive played a week straight and more but i have to admit i was a bit dissapointed size wise it didnt live up to morrowind at all when i saw the map when i first opened the game i thought you got all the places not just that one in the middle

Guess it might seem abit Half Lifeish aswel maybe.

Oblivion is still a huge game and many were put off by size of Morrowind so they scaled it down to appeal to more people and not overwhelm them TO much as Oblivion is still dauntingly huge.

Not to some people, some people are put off huge games by it as they dont want to have to put so much time into a game to get the benefits or good things as they are impatient and just want to jump in and out of a game etc.

Personally i really like games that take a while to complete and games you can play again and again with never the same game twice.
