Ignition's Cancelled Telekinetic First-Person Shooter Looked Boss

Not really considering the only first person games I've ever bought are The Orange Box, Bioshock and Fallout 3/Nv. Oh and Mirror's Edge.Aaaaand a whole bunch of rpgs with first person battles if they count.Payne121 said:
The reason bland fps's sell is because Moderen Warfare and Halo are the biggest fps's right now and everyone is trying to copy it. It's not because some people make jokes on the internet about games that don't interest them and look like first person versions of games that have already been made anyway.
If everyone had my attitude First Person Shooters wouldn't even exist and Rpgs would be the most overproduced types of games
Physic guns are not new anymore, entering into the grand world of videogame cliches. All they did was just put it to use in a suped-up Geomod engine.Payne121 said:
Designer: I have this fantastic new concept for a game! It's going to be called Reich and you have this-
Boss: Are there guns?
Designer: Well, yeah, but that's not the point, you see. You have telekinetic powers in this first person perspective in an extraordinarily interactive world with realistic physics and destructible environments-
Boss: Are there aliens?
Designer: -And, what? No, you fight-
Boss: Are there fictional terrorists or Russians?
Designer: *sigh* No. The game is-
Boss: Well look, I'm sorry about all of the work you've been doing, that's great and all, but we're going to have to shitcan this operation if you're not making a reproduction of either Halo or Call of Duty.
Granted that physics-fun is nothing new, the way that this game appears to do it is breath-taking and the telekinetic powers look superb. I'd rather play this any day over Force Unleashed. Over-budget is over-budget, I suppose, but it looks like the project was so advanced that they're pretty much throwing away any money they could have gotten back. Marketing could just be putting crazy physics and telekinesis antics on Youtube and watching as the crowd goes wild drooling for more.

The closest thing I could think of is this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CellFactor:_Revolution] and it was mostly a tech demo. It's a free download and it was pretty cool to mess around with when I first got a newer video card.WanderingFool said:
I, like you, yearn for the day when destructible environments are standard and when Red Faction (the first one) came out, I thought that was going to be the start of a new era. Unfortunately, it's taken a while to take off, but eventually I'm sure games like this will find their place...
That said, I would have paid $5 just to screw around in Reich's two tech demo levels from the video.
