New game coming out in 2011, I love dungeon crawlers. And they are making a sci fi version of one! lets hope its good. Not to keen on the 3 squad mechanic, but if they make it decent to use, it will be worth a try.

I also love em, even Titan Quest has kept me fairly hooked, but the three squad looks somewhat gimmicky - DoW2 and Guild Wars skll selection style.

I do like the squad skill idea, though, but, as with any RPG, I imagine they'll just become parts of the 'build' - you know, rather than being a hybrid between Mage and Fighter, you focus on one side of it and have a few nice skills from the other.

I can see players using only one of their squad for the majority.

Still, fingers crossed

Titan quest is the shit, loved it.

The sci fi level design on the demo there looks sick, I hope they make all of the game look this good.

Sign up to the newsletter: http://www.darkspore.com/ you'll get regular info on it and chances at a beta key when its up.

This will most likely come out before D3 lol, since Blizzard are taking fucking years to make it.

I literally can't wait for D3, moreso than SCII or Cata.

It just looks so bloody good. I like the way they're expanding the voodoo themes from those annoying little dudes with flame masks in the jungle levels into a character, too.

Cheers for the newsletter link.

EDIT: Just had a better look at the characters on the website and can't say I'm really impressed. Look like typical mobs to me, not blank canvas customisables or something with real personality

Saw some stuff about this on Kotaku. It looks fun and I will no doubt play it.

For the record, I would like to concur that Titan Quest is, in fact, THE SHIT.

[Theo]

Really?

I enjoyed it for the most part, yeah, but found myself getting really fucking frustrated at the bounces in difficulty. I'm playing through Hades again now and I'm at the jungle bit; the standard nightwalker mobs and the anteoks are easy peasy, but this compared to the casters and warrior hero mobs? They're mental

Especially compared to the crabs you meet earlier on which are just a joke.

That said, Corsair is fun fun fun to play as.

I played a hunter/warrior(I think), who specialised in piercing damage. I had these little target dummies that were great, leaving the mobs ogling them while I filled them with arrows. Was all pretty easy.
