Here’s an interesting concept: an action RPG set on Mars. Curiosity hasn’t yet noticed any long-snouted anteater/dog type things but if this upcoming downloadable from Spiders and Focus Home Interactive is anything to go by, they’re up there.
There’s not a lot of information, just that it’s coming in 2013 and the video announcing it is made from in-game footage. It’s set a hundred years after some big disaster has rendered water the most valuable resource among the colonists. There’s an ongoing war over the stuff and you’ll play as Roy Temperance as you level up your skill tree, craft and talk your way through the game.
Oh, and because it’s a game we’re talking about in 2012, there’s a type of bow in the video. Sure, it’s a crossbow but that’s probably just a concession to the cyberpunk aesthetics.

interesting.
Mars is also quite topical.
with the mars rover, Opportunity.
what i’d love to see is something based on the Mars trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson.
something along the lines of Civilisation might work as the books are set over something like two hundred years.
anyway, i can’t wait to see more of this one.

the rover is curiosity, as mentioned in the article

ahh, reading and memory fail on my part. ^_^
i could have sworn i remembered reading something where it was called Opportunity though.
maybe that was one of the other rovers they sent over the years.
i wonder if we’ll ever find out what happened to the Beagle rover.

Yay, Red Factio…. oh wait.
Not much to see in the trailer.
Roy Temperance is a crappy name, though. (Sorry to any real Roy Temperances who might read this…) ^^
