"Scivelation" is probably a typo like "Joystiq".



Scivelation = Civilization? Shiv elation?

:/

anyone notice that the shield in the title logo looks like a crusader symbol/shield and that the cross is similiar to the red lights in the one screen shot?

this like a religious type meaning to it? Graphics wise it looks good but other then that it looks generic.

What shooter isn't "generic" (for the record that term needs to die)? If there are guns, explosions, and things to shoot, it's generic, by your standards. What do you want? RPG elements? A gripping story? Some sort of strategy? None of those things are in an FPS, because then it's not an FPS. You're like the people complaining about another generic action movie, or the music geeks that say everything's been done before. Elitist geeks who think they know everything (and are usually children who have no idea how the world works) need to die. In a fire. Or of herpes. Or both, if possible.

It's not an FPS. it's a First Person RPG. That's what I'm saying. The definition of what's a shooter is more restricted than you think. What I'm saying is FPSes are just shooters. so of course they're all going to be the game. They're shooters. The fun of a shooter isn't the extra stuff, like levelling up or giving a shit about the characters. It's about explosions, cool effects, and the neat weapon ideas/variations. They're simple. The people that complain about it is the same as complaining that every RPG is generic because they all use levels and experience.

The guy's getup also has that same pattern used on the nano-suit in Crysis. Methinks they couldn't come up with any original ideas so they pieced together what has already been done...

But, part the very soul of the gaming experience is innovation. So what if the sub-genre of FPS borrows elements from other genres, as long as the final product is fun and taken as a whole a unique experience. Some of the best and most enjoyable action movies, that have stood up as classics, borrowed heavily from drama, comedy, and so forth.

Stealing from one is plagiarism; stealing from some is research; stealing from many is genius-(one of my professors quoting someone whom I'm don't remember)

More games than you think were made on the UE3. From Gears of War to Roboblitz, Arkham Asylum to Mass Effect. It's everywhere, and it's sweet.

"scivelation" sounds like the lysdexic and drainbramaged spelling of "civilization".

It all makes sense now. X-Blades must have melted the developer's brains with its sheer stupidity.

Maybe Gears of War and such have skewed my view on such things, but that guy in the screenshot has really skinny arms, especially when considering the girth of his torso and the armor he's wearing.

This game has potential, I guess. It looks like it may have some deep story or something. I think it'll turn out to be a good game.

Seems to me the name is a combination of 'Science' and 'Revelation', so that would make its pronunciation "si-vell-a-shun". Now we just need to decide whether or not this is a stupid name... lol

It's a portmanteau of Science/scientific and revelation.
