Advent Rising Announced

Phy writes "3DGPU reports a story from Blues News today that Majesco has officially announced Advent Rising, a third-person action/adventure game trilogy developed on the Unreal engine for PC and Xbox created in collaboration with famed sci-fi author Orson Scott Card. The Advent Rising website is now online. The site has a place to register, a copy of the formal press announcement, and a couple of wallpapers." I admit I don't usually read books that I don't have to, but I've read a couple of Card's books and enjoyed them. Here's hoping his talents translate well to pixels.

There doesn't seem to be much out there in terms of unique descriptions about Advent Rising or media presenting the game itself. It's an Unreal game but what I'd really be interested in would be seeing some of the Doom3 engine games.

If you're interested in other articles about Advent Rising there is a collection here [gametab.com].

Majesco? GlyphX? Card?

This is the same publisher that put out the awful Soldier of Fortune port for the PS2? The butchered Earthworm Jim 2 for the GBA?

And who is GlyphX, the developer? What have they done before?

And this is the same Card that wrote the brilliant Ender's Game but the less-than-brilliant sequels?

Sorry, but it's going to take more than those names to make me interested in a game.
