Edit Update: The Project Offset team requested that news sites not post this. It is an internal video, and, because they are the little guys, I will respect their wishes. I'll take some screencaps and see if I can post them to give you an idea of the scale of the game, and what it offers.

It will definitely show up on the PC, and, because of the similar architecture, perhaps the 360, as well.

UPDATE:
I wanted to show a bit of the engine, so ... here it is:
