The artwork looks very interesting. However I am cognizant that this series has had a checkered past. So I shall keep my expectations tempered with the knowledge that this could be either a milestone title for the platform, or could be a epic failure as was Circle of Doom. However Circle of Doom is proof this developer can and will think outside of the box, and that is always a good thing. This title may be a surprise hit depending upon where they take it.

This definitely puts the game on my radar, but I will not get excited about it until I see more of it. Circle of Doom also looked to be graphically good and the reviewers deadpanned how the game played. Let us hope for the best, but not place this on a too buy list until we know more about it.

The game is multiplat, and it does look good, but I think Uncharted looks a bit better. Of course, Uncharted has somewhat smaller environments, so they can't really be compared.

Though nothing will trump Gears 2 and Killzone 2 this year, imo.

Edit: And another thread reminded me of Wardevil. That game may trump even Killzone 2. :O

Is it just me or did the picture of the man suck?  The face looks well done but everything else in the picture looks noticeably less detailed.

Could you provide a link to confirm is is coming to both the 360 and the PS3. I did some digging, and I found no confirmation. The announcements say for the PC and next gen consoles. Honestly given the franchises history I think it would be more likely to be a 360 exclusive.

I hated KUF: Circle of Doom....I was sorely disappointed.

However, it was pretty--but not this pretty.

Well, "consoles" implies more than one, and the ps3 is the only other choice. Also, IGN lists it as coming to the ps3, and I'd assume they know what they're talking about.

Though sites like IGN have been wrong before. ^^

Yeah, you guys beat me to it...

I've heard a LOT of rumors about this game going multiplatform now.

Anyhow, an official publisher hasn't been announced for this game, meaning Blueside can put it out on whatever consoles they want at this point, hence "consoles." KUF: CoD sales were piss poor so they want to expand to broader markets.

Link 1: "PC and Consoles" --"s" implying more than one console.

Link 2:

No specific consoles were mentioned in the release except to say that KUF II is coming to "PC and console platforms." We'll have more on the game that claims to be the first MMOARTS (Massively Multiplayer Online Action Real-Team Strategy) in history as it comes. For now, check out the first screenshots.

Link 3: Gamestop has it under ps3 section too...

 Which means you haven't played the original. KUF: COD was side game in the mold of Dynasty Warriors. The original KUF game released on X-box.

I think they gonna change totally the game....it won't be like the last one I think they are taking a more RPG direction... if I recall what I read somewhere....
