Being something of a trailer aficionado, I am posting this trailer not just because the game looks amazing, I’m posting it because this is easily the best video game trailer I’ve ever seen. And quite frankly it’s about time that video games are catching up with movies.
Via Hellforge, his review compares the setting to Perdido Street Station. I’m not sure I really see that, though the city in the trailer certainly seems comparable to New Crobuzon. I’d never thought of the book as steampunk but I suppose I haven’t read the others. Still, looks exciting and should come out within the year.
Wow, that is probably one of the best examples of body motion I’ve seen in a game ever. Additionally, the way the clothing moves on the bodies is highly realistic. I’m impressed.
Never heard of this game… nor book. Intriguing.
That looks awesome! About time for some quality steampunk.
I agree– doesn’t look a bit like the New Crobuzon in my head. It’s too crisp and clean, not fuzzy and decrepit enough. One of my favorite things about reading Predido Street Station is the definite visual world it left emblazoned on my brain. Game backgrounds are equally imaginative, but not like the book. Trailer is excellent!
