The platforming elements sort of remind me of what we've seen from Trine, but with only one character (i.e. platform/barricade generation, the swinging, etc.)

Yeah, I know THATS not Altair. I was just pointing out that Altair had to lose a finger to use those fancy coat knives. This guy seems to have avoided a similar fate. Twice.

I thought the whole point of Altair missing a finger was so that those knife things could function properly. Did they somehow engineer a way around chopping up your own fingers every time you want to stab someone?

I think that recent multi-million selling games have painted an unrealistic picture as far as sales for games goes. 560,000 is no slouch, and it's surely enough to have more than made back costs.

And both were destroyed by linux, who didn't have to stop and pay any tolls along the way.

I don't care how good you are, unless you have the source file, there's no way you're replicating a 3D scene from a screenshot 100%. I can't find the link, but I think it was on neogaf that someone found the frame that the original picture was taken from in this video. Also, whoever made this had access to motion capture, something I've never known a non-financed team to have.

If it was only ever meant to be an internal test video, then they can use whatever music they'd like.

To everyone calling this a fake, the opening scene is from a screenshot that was on team ICO's corporate page over a year ago. Screams "real" to me.

hahaha, that's the exact same thing I thought when I first saw it. "Jeez, that sure does look like something from a Hellraiser movie. And the bald person sitting in it doesn't help."

I'd buy a BOXX.
