Cipher Complex

Just visited ign now and read this preview.

From what I've read it looks like an interesting combination of different ideas. I do wonder though if it'll get old real fast. It does remind me of max payne with the bullet time idea. From what the reviewer says it seems it's Splinter Cell but done with the correct stealth elements.

Hmm with the time slowing & mad moves during slow time it reminds me of Max Payne / Fear. Could be an interesting mix, ie use stealth to position yourself just right and then use 'slow / bullet time' to unleash a beating to all guards in the area.

I wonder how much of this will make it into the final game, one to watch I think.

I like the look of this, a stealth game with plenty of action in it. For all it's promise, it could well be one of those games that promises much but delivers little, but it certainly has all the ingredients of a great game so far. I'll put this one on my watch list and keep an eye out for updates

New video out for this it seems to be a developers interview and these guys seem to have it nailed. Really looking forward to this, though I'm still unsure about the adrenalin idea, I hope it's not over used.
