Game comes out next wednesday, looks hot. Anyone else excited?

Fun fact : The majority of this game was developed solely by 1 person.

thought of odin's sphere.

Same here, Odin's Sphere definitely. The high resolution and colorful sprites and backgrounds do draw parallels between the two games.

Very good game and I recommend anyone that hasn't played it to try to find for their PS2 system.

Anyone else think Rayman Origin when they first saw this?

The cartoon artstyle sure, but keep in mind Rayman is a platformer. This is an action RPG/Metroidvania exploration game. Crafting, Skill trees, voice overs.. the works.

Also, to repeat again... 1 person built the entire game. The only thing he outsourced (with help from MS after they picked it up) was the Audio track and Voice overs. All the programming and art was done by 1 person. Its mind boggling and 4 years of work. Apparently 7 days a week, 16 hour days all by himself. This guy gets my $15.

Same guy worked on Jazzy Jackrabbit 2 back in the day.
 
He would have my money too if he didn't sign an exclusive deal with Microsoft. I hope they paid him alot for the exclusive. It's probably only timed exclusive.
