Project Offset is still alive

Gamezine: It's been a year since team behind Project Offset were bought by the world's largest semiconductor manufacturer, Intel. Thankfully, the game is now in full production.

The demos of Project Offset both impressed in their technology and their fantasy setting, but according to the game's Executive Producer Mark Subotnick, that's all they were; tech demos.

Now the team has been at Intel for a whole year, resulting in a move of address, they now have the money and resources to begin full production on the game.

Actually it was never announced to be on the X360 or any console. They were hiring people to work on a console version at one time, but after they got bought things might have changed. Original developer intended it to be spread far and wide though on all platforms. PC always being the core platform of it though. Intel will likely release it in 2009 or wait for 2010 and utilize DirectX 11 and their own graphics card lineup. Only they know right now and its likely they won't tell until E3 or another big event maybe at the GDC in March. I personally am still a little surprised that Intel has interest in acquiring a game developer for its own use. Perhaps they have a plan of their own though. Either way PC exclusive is the way I prefer a game like this.

Good news, in a way, didnt realise the previous media was nothing but tech demos, I imagine the game is still at least a few years away then. Wonder what platforms Intel have in mind, I guess the only one you can currently guarantee is the PC.

Yep, it's pretty much a guaranteed PC-exclusive.

It'll be designed to help show off their Larrabee graphics chip.

Jeez...

When Project Offset tech demos were released YEARS ago, their graphics technology couldn't be touched by anything... It floored me!

By the time this game actually releases, it will simply be a modest contender.

Take a few typing classes and enjoy PC. Its the only real thing that will teach you the controls of a PC game with ease. It will make the PC feel like a better gaming device as well.

6.1 - What do you mean?
I read on the developers web site that the game would be on PC and 360.

I remember cuz at the time I was strictly a PS3 fan and I was pissed.

Strikepackage is right; there was a lot more than just 'talk' of a console version. Project Offset was initially announced for the 360 and PC, but there was never confirmation of a PS3 version.

However, since Project Offset has been bought by Intel, you can bet that things will change. Basically, I'm pretty sure that it will only be available for the PC.

I think Intels masterplan was to have a 'PC Gaming Alliance' where they (and some others) were effectively exclusive first party developers for PC

Project Offset was announced as PC and Xbox 360 game. Most people who have paid attention to it's progress know this, and the Intel purchase. That purchase was for them to work on Intel new graphic chipset and tools mainly for developers. The team that created Project Offset were sought out, because of their talent. This is a great progression for them, and when they pull this game from behind the curtain we are going to be floored by its graphics. If the gameplay is stunning this could be contender for GOTY. I have faith...

Be a gamer...Not a hater
