November 29, 2005 - Over the Thanksgiving break, Copenhagen-based development studio Zero Point software announced that it is currently working on a brand new first-person shooter for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PC platforms. The first of a planned trilogy and game known as "Project IM" will be steeped heavily in science-fiction lore and focus on co-op gameplay and realistic mechanics. As is the trend with next-gen shooters, Project IM will also utilize Epic's Unreal Engine 3 technology and is currently in the pre-development and negotiation phase (re: it's in need of a publisher).

Additional gameplay details are pretty scarce. Though it is known that the storyline is set far into a "believable future" where players assume the role of a newly-enlisted Special Forces soldier armed to the teeth with weapons, armor, and gadgetry. Moreover, up to four simultaneous players will be able to participate cooperatively and missions will be randomized and non-linear. Tactical and role-playing elements are also expected.

Project IM will likely not see release until 2007.
To view the first demo trailer for yourself, just click on the media page below. There are a handful of new screenshots to go along with it, and Zero Point expects to release a full three-minute concept trailer in Q1 2006. Check back for more as it develops.

Thanks, Deg.

Wow, this looks totally cool.

Project IM is Sci-Fi FPS adventure game, where the player takes control of a newly enlisted Special Forces soldier.

new to me and if it actually does look like that, then it sure looks to be pissing ALL over the unreal engine from a lighting perspective.

Way to PWN oneself - it runs on UE3.

ED-209 has come out of retirement.

generic scifi action.. yay.

Like I said before, they're ready to jump. KILL WESTXBOXPC.

 

[Andy787]

Looks like crap.

PWN oneself? I suppose I should have said UT2007? A lot of things run on this engine, (including the travesty that is the x3660 game from namco)... doesn't mean they look the same.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Those robots remind me of the mechs in the original Deus Ex.

 

[OniShiro]

Meh, looks like a bad pc game to me.

It looks like 3DMark05 - Return to Proxycon FFS. And no PC game before has looked that good.

 

[Speevy]

It's a trilogy? Good grief. The Xbox 360 needs more sci-fi trilogies!

Seriously, I don't know what bad looking PC games they are talking when looking at these pics. This looks great, it has an extremely cohesive smooth sharp edged clean look, especially that second pic and the one with all the boxes, the subtle light and shadows are nicely done.

 

[Borys]

Deg, you dumbhead, this is old. You made a fool outta me.

[boutrosinit]

Wow! A sci-fi first person shooter! We don't have enough of these!

 

[OniShiro]

I'm not saying it looks bad, I'm saying it looks like a bad game, a bad pc game, it gives me bad vibes, too much effort put into graphics but lame gameplay, and anyway the art design is pretty bad, the robot and the soldiers are the ugliest thing since wallguy.

Ahh, I see. It's up to devs then - they already nailed the graphics, time to move on game design (*cough* Doom 3 *cough*).

Bad vibes? Criticizing the developer's effort? Wallguy? Um...

Now guys... No fighting amonst the Sony whores.

In DD's defense, if no one told me I would have never guessed this game as a UE3 game.

 

[J2 Cool]

Looks.... uninspired.

 

[Nervous Hamster]

OMFG!!! The Halo 3 Killerrrrr!

 

[blackadde]

looks boring

 

[Mike Works]

i can't wait to shoot an endless stream of bullets at a metallic expressionless robot in a generic setting, that seems like a lot of fun to me

 

[Foil]

To say the least. I usually never complain about art and design, but that game looks downright bad in that regard.

Shut up, DICKLESS FUCK.

The expressive, candy-filled robots are on vacation.

 

[Borys]

You know guys, you are all right - this looks like a generic, bland, PC/ Xbox shooter BUT it also looks like the best generic, bland, PC/ Xbox shooter ever.

The graphics whore in me is satisfied.

 

[Ganondorf>Link]

The first of a planned trilogy

And thats where I stopped reading.

 

[DSN2K]

if this is the average looking next Gen game then we are in for a good few years.

12 games of sci-fi excitement. This is like the 360's version of JRPG's.

Am I the only one that can see a game still doesn't have a publisher just by looking at it? :lol

Apparently so is the part of the development team in charge of character models.

Why isn't it coming to the revolution?

 

[jooey]

not only does this look like Thexder 95, I'd much rather play that too.

Now that was uncalled for... :lol

i think people are forgetting what real games look like on Ps2 and xbox!

alternatively, people are too used to rendered screen shots.

If this is what the game looks like - and it probably does - then, hell, looks okay to me! Artistically might be a bit average, but technically... hires, nice FSAA, etc..etc...

what is PS2.5 about that?

 

[BudokaiMR2]

That mech looks like the one from Robocop lol.

That's what I call some proper ass lighting.

ohboy! Shelves! Hangar bays! caution stripes!

snore, wake me up when HL3 shots are around.

 

[Mrbob]

I don't know if I can handle dreary interior enviroments in FPS games anymore. Yeah it looks nice but we see picturs of what may be the hanger and the inside of a building. And the squad look like bad Storm soldier rejects. I need more outdoor locations and various places to travel.

 

[sangreal]

game looks pretty bland, but the shadows are hot
