Well. Having not seen videos yet, because of Gamespot Complete (grrr), I only seen new pictures. First of all, HUD looks like it's been done by a 3 yr old with Crayola pens. Secondly, the graphics still look a tad shaky. Well, not quite HL2/Halo 2 standard, which is what we all want.

But

It's promising, and it won't be out for a while. I hope it's slowly metamorphisised into a Resi 4 style adult title that manages to impress the currently FPS-over loaded market.

Hope some more appears at E3, but it's looking shaky at best. I really want it to do well though, it sounds much more interesting than practically any other FPS around.

This highlights the good and bad bits best -

Looks pretty promising actually. Like the whole idea of possessing parts of the enviroment to scare people so you can then possess them.

Apparently the first person shooter controls need a lot of work though.

It looks very different from things that have come before. Halo 2, Doom 3, Half Life 2 - none of them offer anything new, except that they are perfections of a formula.

geist looks nice and different.
