Talking with Scott Brown and Ryan Seabury over at NetDevil yesterday, they mentioned they are working on a new first-person shooter.

That's right, the MMO guys are doing a PC shooter. While I'm a huge shooter fan, news of a new one doesn't always get me that excited, but this one sounds pretty kick-ass. They're making it from the ground-up to work with the Aegia PhysX processor.

The whole idea, it sounds like, is to flex the muscle of this elite PC piece of equipment. What that means is that everything in the environment is destructible. And not that "house of cards" sort of destruction where a building looks like its made of cards when it gets knocked down. No, the duo said it would be "dynamic, chunk-by-chunk destruction of just about everything."

One example they gave was having the ability to shoot a hole through the ceiling so the person, and anything else that happens to be on the floor above you, actually falls through.

The game is being designed with the Unreal 3 engine and in its current state it's a modern day urban shooter. Man, I may have to finally go out and buy one of those cards. This sounds hot. Brian Crecente
