There's been a sudden influx of Russian-developed games coming out. All of them are fucking crazy. This one looks cool, and pretty crazy as well.

Um, this is being developed by a UK-based studio. Are you perhaps mixing it up with Cryostasis?

At any rate, you are correct - there a lot of really interesting Eastern European games coming out. This just doesn't happen to be one of them.

The PC at least is essentially being sustained by obscure russian developers. All the big studios have either moved over to consoles, or become rather stuck in a rut.

Of course, many of the russian developed games are bugged as hell, have terrible translations, or are just flat out bonkers... but they sure don't lack ambition.

Seems like most of the games i play recently are russian...

FUCK! I was talking about Cryostasis. I has a PCGamer with an entire article about Russian games, with Cryostasis and the recent strategy game in it, and I could swear I read something about Hydrophobia in it.

Huh... It looks like it would be much bigger. In fact I thought it was a retail game until now. The water tech looks really impressive. I'll give it a shot if it's not absurdly overpriced.

Hydrophobia is also a term for the symptoms of rabbies, and although Aquaphobia is the technical term for a morbid fear of water, Hydrophobia is sometimes used instead.I think I’ll reserve judgment on this until I get to play it. Blade, formerly Mirage, the guys behind Rise of the Robots have a history of bigging up games purely on graphics alone, and we know how many people were fooled on that one.

Why dont they just release it as one game instead of chapters if its only 250MB?
I'm thinking more money but I can imagine alot of people will only buy one chapter, maybe its not finnished and they need to get it out....feck knows.

I'm always so amazed by good water in video games. There's no telling how many times I've gotten killed on Valhalla (Halo 3) because I decide to stop and play with the water in the creek.

Games with good water (I know this is sad): Crysis, Dirt 2 (probably the best I have seen), Halo 3, Killzone 2, Gears of War 2, Wave Race 64, GTA4, Resident Evil Code Veronica (first game I saw where water reacts to people/zombies moving through it), and you can't forget the beautiful Bioshock.

They say it's 250 MB but is that per chapter or for all chapters?

While you're at it, ask them when the fuck the PS3/PSN releases are coming.
