Elveon alive and coming to PS3?

PSU writes: "Haven't heard of the the elvish action-epic Elveon? It would be surprising, with the latest news coming straight from 2006. Additionally, this Unreal Engine 3 powered title was originally scheduled to release only on Xbox 360 and PC, leaving Sony's console in the dust.

Contrary to popular belief, Elveon hasn't been canned. You see, 10TACLE's stock value dropped from nearly 15€ to 2€, causing them to cut 25% of their work force. This staff slimming included 10TACLE Bratislava, the original Elveon development team. As a result, the project's reins have been handed to Climax, developer of such titles Silent Hill Origins and Viva Piñata for Windows.

On their official site's homepage, there is an image of Elveon with the header "New 360/PS3 Project."

Yeah this one had me confused when I saw the gameplay video earlier this week sporting the 360, PC & PS3 as its' platforms.
I remember seeing many a 360 list highlighting this game as an exclusive for the system, so it kinda shocked me when I saw that.

Apart from that I'm still not completely sold on this game nor am I remotely interested at this point.
They've got to dish out some more tech and story info.

From what I have seen (a long time ago) it looks as though the game will have a pretty deep combat system. The visuals weren't bad either, and hopefully these two aspects go along with a great story. I look forward to hearing/reading more on it.

as an ex employee that worked on the project for about 2 years i don't see Elveon getting more than 6/10 in reviews, Climax will probably butcher the game even more...

btw. here is a leaked video from the last version - http://www.gametrailers.com...

i will answer it with a question: is it normal, that a game is in pre-alpha for 3-4 years? :) lazy management mostly, no knowledge about the current game systems (game began as a copy of Severance and even the game trends has changed/advanced since then, they thought it would be still fun to play another Severance in the year 2008/2009, which was a total failure in the gameplay area)

I doubt you worked on this game. What would a programmer be doing here with all the fanboys? How about some proof of your employment?

Anyone can claim anything on the Internet. BTW, I work for Valve, and um... the PS3 is difficult to program. See how that works?

I dunno if this is proof or not. The official Elveon site only has a background.

12 - Gametrailers had some videos of this game...
...and I wasn't that impressed. It seemed kinda clunky and slow.
