This game is based on the Unreal technology, so I would doubt it's been in production before quake. But this game is going to be megawicked. Ever since I first saw it I've known I'm going to get this game. Awww yeah, diablo style weapons in 3d. THIS IS GONNA ROCK!

I think it's third person only, but I don't think first person would work that well for a slashing kinda game. I think 3d person would be a good step for even first person shooters, but the aiming is a problem (which is why it hasn't shown up much yet).

I CAN'T WAIT FOR RUNE! Anyone know what kinda beta test it will have. I gotta be a beta tester for this.

I always preferred the FPS view during duels. I did my fair share of damage that way. Thanks for the info on Rune though. I'll have to wait for a demo on this one and see how they've handled the control scheme. I'm not generally opposed to 3rd person, since I had much fun with Heretic II.

Cool shots, but no developer ever gets sword control right. I'd be damned surprised if Humanhead is the first. That's why shooting rules in 3d gaming -- it's almost impossible to do melee well, unless it's the mindless hack-and-slash variety.

Ummm...well if first person is the guy shooting, and third person is someone watching the two guys shooting at eachother (viewpoint wise), then second person would prolly be the other guy getting shot by you. Sounds like fun don't it?
