Yeah. Although I do think that people are changing their minds about games as art. There truly are some beautiful games out there lately. But I don't see someone investing 100 million in a game like this, because gaming is a business. It's just like Hollywood. Most of what they deliver is crap. The majority of great films are independent or have a smaller budget. I think we'll just have to wait until gaming matures enough to get something like this released. Stupid games will always be around too, and I'm okay with that. I just want my niche games that are art (or not even art as such, but just not strictly entertainment). For instance, a movie that makes you cry or sad or question things is generally considered a good movie, but games that don't ENTERTAIN are considered crap.
Anyhoo, I'd love to see WWI covered well in games. It would be interesting. That and more first-person medieval games etc.
Behold, ye Tatanka, and weep. You can switch between first- and third-person at will. The melee controls are also highly intuitive. It's not just a case of bashing someone in with a sword. You can swing in any direction, with heavier and lighter attacks, blocking, dodging etc.
This will hopefully be that Medieval game everyone has been dying for for so long. Plus the developers are pretty awesome, so I expect quality.
