    There was a trailer of a game floating around some months ago. The trailer(s) was purportedly all in-game footage and was presented from the first-person perspective of the player. The visuals were OBSCENE. The effects were absolutely incredible and would have been more appropriate in a feature film.

    The player drew a bow and fought an ogre in a large ruin of marble pillars; the ogre was wielding a gigantic flail (I think). The trailer concluded with the player looking up from a cliffside to see an inbound boulder crush them. I think the game trailer also served as a technical demonstration by the developer, whose name I didn't recognize. The game is (I think) for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.

    Does anyone else remember this? I keep confusing it with "Two Worlds, but that isn't the game I'm trying to describe. Thanks.

    Damn you, you beat me to it.

    Yeah, Project Offset. Built by a very, very small team over the last few years. It looks to give Crysis and Oblivion both a run for their money in terms of pure awesomeness, but we won't know for sure for a while. I've been following the game really very closely for the last year or so.
