I'm not generally one to be oo'd or ahh'd over video game effects and the likes, but one thing that's always caught my eye is the reaction with objects and water.

First bioshock rocked out the best water effect, then came cryostasis, now whatever game this is on consoles.

Just curious if this a modified engine thats already out or did these devs make a complete new one.

It's an inhouse engine called, imaginatively enough, the HydroEngine Very Happy

Game got leaked from XBLA DevNet a few days ago, but I can't play it due to lack of JTAG.. so I'm waiting for the real game.

As long as it's not part of that crap microsoft have during summers it shouldn't be that long hopefully.

The devs said it's a "full" high quality title, the only reason it's on XBLA is because their tools produce content with smaller filesizes than most others.

(At least that's what they said, this doesn't look like a $15M title lol)

The water simulation looks impressive and "fake" at the same time so idk..

The game is a MS exclusive, but they said that once the exclusivity period ends they'll release it on PC and even further down the line to the PS3.

well, not bad graphics (especially for a view from outside cam), but if there should be a full game with that, it could unhappily become very arcadish and consolish for sure.
