From dust (ps3/xbox360/pc)

[drekkard]

I really don't know why I had not heard anything from this upcoming game that will be sold in stores. It seems to be like a giant sandobx where you play with the forces of nature, with a touch of Populous.

The tech is amazing, but what totally sold me the game was that is being lead by the guy who almost singlehandedly produced "Another world", one of the best games ever, in the late 80s / early 90s. That guy, Eric Chahi, is the creative beyond this. And this is now in my list of "games to buy" with Journey and LA Noir.

See the tech demo:

And if you have never played "Another World", please do it now, even 20 years later it continues to be great:

Reminds me of Black & White. Looks like it could be interesting but no reason explanation of how you play the game. Like do you control the land/water and the living being react to you... or is it a bit like SimCity where you have some control but the game throws in disasters and other random events to screw your beautifully crafted game?
