Amen, Arkimbald. I don't see what culture gamers will supposedly be gleaning from this when any redeeming (or recognizable) aspect of the source material has been stripped away for what amounts to a rip-off of a rip-off of a genre of rip-offs.
Rather than doing something new and, dare I say, artistic, with the medium by trying to tell this story in a new, interactive way, it's very clear that the only muses Visceral have been listening to are in the marketing department.
And the worst part is they seem to think they triumphed here, rather than copped out, which would indicate just how far from getting it they are.
