We've seen all sorts of RPGs on the PC, but we're not sure if there's ever been one that goes from full-on space-sim to land-roving, first-person shooter-style gameplay on actual planets.

That's exactly what this trailer for The Precursors shows off, creating a surprising amount of curiosity for what the final product will be like. It's definitely an extremely ambitious-looking title, as many space-sim games can't even get their gameplay quite right. Never say never, though, as The Precursors could always surprise us all and become greater than the sum of its parts.

Supposedly the game is coming out this year, but whether or not that many people will actually notice it depends on when and how it hits store shelves (or digital distributions?) sometime in 2008.
