Mysterious Project Offset coming out of the shadows?
It's been a long time since there's been any word on what's been going on with Project Offset. The fantasy themed action game from Offset Software was acquired, development team and all, by PC processor maker Intel just over a year ago. Now the game's official web site has gotten a revamp with a little more info and content for the game.
The content comes in the form of two Flash-based videos. One shows off the game's editing features but the other is a fairly impressive graphics film as a Asian-style temple is destroyed by some kind of mystical meteor storm. The web site also has a message from Offset Software founder Sam McGrath who states that we will see the fruits of their labors "in the coming months." While McGrath still doesn't mention why Intel has bought a game developer some have speculated that Intel will use Project Offset (still just a code name) to show off the graphical power of their upcoming Larabee chip.
