Theseis: my big fat Greek adventure game
Two new trailers have been released for Track7's upcoming adventure game, Theseis. You may recall that Theseis was once almost canceled for PS3. That's kind of confusing because the game still isn't being made for the PS3 -- it's currently only heading to PC and 360. But Track7 insisted that the PS3 version wasn't canceled, they merely decided not to move forward with development. Ah, semantics. Anyway, the game is of the adventure genre (the first trailer reminds us a bit of the Quest for Glory series) and is set in modern day Greece-- the trailer above takes place in the ancient past, though. It's been a while since consoles have seen a decent adventure game (the Xbox title, Indigo Prophesy/Fahrenheit is the only one that comes to mind), so we're hoping Theseis does it right. Watch a gameplay trailer after the break.
The game's official site promises plenty of Greek myth and mystery. The site also offers a wallpaper and high resolution versions of both videos. So, what do you think, are you looking forward to a new adventure game on the 360?

3. That gameplay footage makes it look more like a Tomb Raider rip. If it's more investiagtive and story driven then I'm interested. If it's platforming and badly rendered undead enemies, I'm out.

5. you have to wonder if MS threw some money at the developer to kill off the PS3 version in hopes of being able to answer SOE's God of War franchise. It's a similarly set game in a Mediterranean mythical based universe.
I have to confess I thought the trailer looked boring.

If Microsoft threw money at someone to make an ADVENTURE game to compete with a beat ‘em up like God of War, then they are the dumbest company to grace god’s green earth. And since they have more money then god, we can only assume they are not dumb (corrupt maybe, but not dumb).
If Microsoft wanted to compete with God of War they would make a fantasy beat ‘em up… like say… Ninety-nine Nights. (I’m not saying that N3 is good – just saying that it’s the more likely competitor for God of War).
(BTW, does shilling pay well? Cause I’d be willing to join you it it pays good.)
Anyhow: I’m all in for any game that’s like Indigo Prophesy. If this is anything like it.

1. I can look forward to this game as long as I can interact as much as you could with Indigo. Something to keep an eye out for.
