'Steampunk Fantasy' game Edge of Twilight coming to PS3



Southpeak Games has announced today that it will be publishing Australian developer Fuzzyeyes Studio's 2009 title Edge of Twilight. Though hitherto relatively unheard of, the game was assumed to be for Xbox 360 and PC only, though the press release sent out today confirms that Edge of Twilight will also be heading to PS3 at the same time. The game's website is open and what little there is seems very intriguing. The idea of a "steampunk fantasy" is not something we've come across very often, but it sounds very promising.

The game is being developed using the Unreal Engine 3 which, six months ago, would have had us worried. Unreal Tournament 3 has since shown us that UE3 games can rock on the PS3 and past tragedies such as Stranglehold and Blacksite can be forgotten. We have to say, we're getting some definite Legacy of Kain vibes off of this one (check out the main character, Raziel Lex). We're sticking Edge of Twilight on our radar and look forward to any updates between now and its release sometime next year.

Awesome news. Sounds cool...have to wait and see more though.

What is "steampunk fantasy"??

What happens with Stranglehold ?

It was delayed but runs flawlessy on the PS3 .

Steampunk is a subgenre of fantasy and speculative fiction which came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century, and often set in Victorian era England—but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date. Other examples of steampunk contain alternate history-style presentations of "the path not taken" of such technology as dirigibles or analog computers; these frequently are presented in an idealized light, or a presumption of functionality.

Steampunk is often associated with cyberpunk and shares a similar fanbase and theme of rebellion, but developed as a separate movement (though both have considerable influence on each other). Apart from time period and level of technological development, the main difference between cyberpunk and steampunk is that steampunk settings usually tend to be less obviously dystopian than cyberpunk, or lack dystopian elements entirely.

I hate Unreal Engine 3. I wish developers would start using something else. I'll buy the game for PC if it's good though.

This developer's only other title is Hot Dog King A Fast Food Empire. 

This game is going to suck.
