Pretty amazing for a XBLA game.  It looks better than many retail games.

I'm getting that Advent Rising feel, man. This is gonna be hot shit. Love the graphics, the atmosphere, the setting. You guys need to get on this train. The hype train.

I agree with demi that it reminds me a lot of Advent Rising. The VO is annoying.

Hydrophobia developer Dark Energy Digital has told Eurogamer that episodic releases are still 'the plan' but that the term doesn't accurately represent the amount of content on offer.

"The schedule is for three instalments within the first 12 months," revealed Dark Energy Digital senior creative designer Rob Hewson.

"However, we're not really referring to them as episodes; the first instalment is what you would expect from a full retail game, so it's better to think of it as a trilogy."

Dark Energy Digital announced Microsoft as publisher of watery action game Hydrophobia earlier today. The "trilogy" is exclusive to Xbox Live Arcade.

Hewson reckons release date finalisation should "happen shortly". And what about a price? "Again, not finalised," he said, "but I will say that even though Hydrophobia is as big as a retail game, you'll be paying XBLA prices [for it]."

anytime there's a non-white male protagionist I generally take notice, it just happens so rarely.

XBLA?:rock

I assumed this would be a full retail boxed title from the graphics. Looks good! Will purchase just to prove Kotick wrong that female lead characters don't sell.
