For anyone who has played Black Dahlia, it seems Montreal has its very own torso killer:

He is believed to have fled to Europe or Russia by now, with Interpol on his trail.

In follow-up to this from yesterdays chat:
<RyanP> Chris, what kind of engine will you be using?
<FredBuer> Will it by chance be Unity? :)
<RandomX> Or CryEngine 3? =P
<Chris8401> We haven't made a final decision on the game engine.
<Clint> The Crysis engine is a great engine! Source is my favorite engine though!
<Sai> Yeah some environments from Crysis Engine is amazing. I saw a remake of Blade Runner game with CryEngine 2 (theyre now up to CryEngine 3) and it was like WOW
<Clint> Yeah, the Crysis engine is great... someone is making a Titanic game using the Crysis engine, and it looks GREAT.
<Clint> Source is a more optomized engine and runs better though, and still looks really nice.
<Clint> Unity is probably really cheap to use those. It could work well.
I don't know anything about the technical aspects to each engine so maybe indeed performance wise a different one would be better, however the more I see of CryEngine renders the more I like it! I wanted to post this render of a scene from Blade Runner. It makes me want a remake of the Blade Runner game by Westwood with a HD upgrade in this style.

OH MY GOD!!! I am not alone in my geekiness! Thank you! I loved that damn desk fan.
you`re too grounded in your geekiness... IF IT`S NOT CRYENGINE 3, THEY BETTER STOP RIGHT NOW!

Just wanted to post the Blade Runner thing because it reminded me of the Westwood game and couldnt grab the pic whilst I was in the chat. The thing is I thought this Blade Runner render was for a new HD remake of the game (after it was posted in an adventure game thread) but it turns out its a fan's take on a scene from the movie. Goes to show how good the game was at getting the feel of the movie and adding its own plot to it which many movie-games don't do (they either just dont seem as good as the movie or they basically just make you play through the plot of the movie scene for scene with nothing new to add making it all predictable).

Another option is Unity or Unreal but I think it will end up a combination of a lot tools mixed with Unity or something else but we haven't truly decided.

Cool, whats "DH" though? I must of missed an interview someplace.
I think it may also depend on the whole Linux thing, they said they're considering if they can make it Linux compatible due to requests. A lot of engines don't seem to have native Linux support unfortunately so could limit their choices.
But from seeing some clips on Youtube of all the different engines theyre all a massive step up from what we had. And if its anything like the pitch it'll be great.
