Anyway, yeah Project Ego is going to be excellent and online options would be great. :-) With things like your character being able to get a tan and stuff like scars, I bet there would be some interesting chaacters to see online. At night you would probably see a good number of pale, dark characters due to the players only getting on at that time if it goes by real time. :-)

wow!!! great!!! (sarcasm intended)
i don't like online, because it is full of cheating ********. you get bored really, really quickly because of the lack of progression. i have Unreal Tournament, and I have to say, the difference between playing online with lag and cheaters, and playing offline with bots is almost the same, fun wise, so i wouldn't care if Nintendo, Microsoft or Sony went online because i would never go online with them anyway. also, it takes aaaaaaages to set up a game and get it started. i think that after the initial wave of Online titles, people will realise that they prefer to play on their own, or with *real* friends, rather than online against faceless strangers.
this is my view and i realise the good points of online gaming, so please don't try to explain them to me.
I was amazed at how cool it was!! All the other people - and when I asked someone to move, guess what?! They did!! It was a really cool experience - apart from when all these people with 52k modems came into an ADSL match (don't ask me how, GRRR Americans?!).
Unreal Championship should be a classic, with some really cool levels and those killer Unreal weapons; this'll definately be one to watch.
Is Project Ego online? I hope so, a single player and online mode would be even better! I can just imagine it now: a huge server with thousands of gamers on there - all with their own characters. I would try and go around killing everyone though, so it may not be such a good idea ;-)
I can see a hell of a lot of late nights coming. ;-))
