   By now the laugh of the gaming world, along with their legendary saying "when it's done", the folks from 3D Realms decided to liven things up and start a new game. Fortunately, though, not all by themselves (one Duke Nukem Forever is more than enough), but together with the young Finnish studio Recoil Games. This was founded by a certain Samuli Syvahuoko, former co-founder of Remedy (Max Payne should come to mind), and their first project is hiding behind the enigmatic title Earth No More.

   From the announcement made on the 3D Realms website, the first Earth No More preview can be found in the pages of the Game Informer magazine, in the same edition in which they take a more detailed look at Fallout 3 - how's that for post-apocaliptic coincidence. And here are a few very ambiguous quotes allowed for re-publishing, from said preview of Earth No More:
"The development team is specifically moving away from what they call the 'lone hero,' while also avoiding a squad-based direction.

(...) 'We're going to design almost every weapon in the game to where it's going to have a sort of collaborative mode to it,' says Miller. One gun called the Linker works like a reverse proton pack from Ghostbusters.

(...) The good guys aren't the only ones who can team up, however. Enemies are being designed to complement each other's skills as well.

(...) The team is intricately analyzing how group dynamics work in movies like the Alien, The Thing, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and 28 Days Later, hoping to emulate that kind of tension in game form."    If you can make anything out of this, you certainly have a more rested imagination than mine (no wonder, at this hour). But anyway, there's still plenty of time to find out more about Earth No more, since the tentative release date is set all the way in 2009. As for the target platforms, Recoil's game is planned for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. If you wish to learn more about what kind of game style the devs have in mind, "Cinegames" as they call it, the just-marked link should prove useful.
