"The Thing" Game for Xbox....What have people heard? (1 Viewer)

I just saw a preview of the upcoming game for Xbox, "The Thing" based on Carpenters 1984 horror movie on the Xbox Mag demo DVD. Wow! I must say it looks impressive. Looks like it is a 3rd person horror type game. The game picks up in plot where the movie leaves off, and if any of you have ever seen the movie then you should be excited to play this.

what I want to know is, is anybody privy to any interesting or new info regarding this game? Thoughts, comments, suggestions, desires and hopes of what it could end up being like.

The only thing I've heard about the game is that it's going to incorporate the paranoia aspect of the story in the form of a "trust meter" or something like that, where you have to constantly reassure your buddies, who have varying degrees of nervousness, that you're not The Thing. If they think you're acting suspiciously they'll open fire on you. Sounds like a pretty neat idea. I might get this one even though I don't normally play survival horror games. Hopefully they'll keep Carpenter's movie soundtrack in the game

You got that right!
Personally, I've been wishing someone would make a FPS of Escape From New York. Could be VERY cool and, they MUST keep all of Carpenters music in the game.
Guess I'll have to settle for "The Thing" for now.
Great DVD btw.

Yeah! That would be really cool. I love that movie and the soundtrack is great!

I don't know much about the game, but I saw the trailer in the Official Xbox Magazine too. That is how to make a videogame trailer! It looks like it could be a cool & creepy game. Here's hoping...
