Woa, it really doesn't look like a Square-Enix game. Looks kinda fun. Good use of words Keane. | |
Squares aren't cubes. when will these people learn geometry? Nah, it does look pretty fun. yeah, it does look like geo wars a little bit. | |
Yes! Looks very slick visually. They need to fix their English a little though: Multiplayers? Someone made an oopsie translating that. Other than that, I have to say I am excited. | |
It's about god damn time Square-enix gets out of the RPG area and show the gaming world that they are developers and publishers of all genres! | |
Oooh, looks interesting. Hopefully, I'll get the chance to try it one it's stateside. | |
looks interesting, shall hafta wait and see.. | |
Hm... ...wait what? Made by Square-Enix? Interesting. | |
I might actually get this. Looks fun. | |
Well I can't comment on how "fun" it is since the video doesn't show jack of what the actual gameplay involves, I can comment on how visually boring it looks. I know that is a minor issue as fun comes first, but that's all I can say. Cheap hip-hop soundtrack doesn't help either. | |

Square-Enix Unveils Project: Cube
Square has revealed its new Xbox Live Arcade game, and it's not an RPG, but, in true XBLA fashion, a dual analog stick shooter.
It appears that the new Western-friendly Square-Enix is here in full force, as the house that once was known exclusively for its mega-JRPGs full of melodramatic plots and ten minute super move animations is no longer just that. Square-Enix now releases things like PC war strategy title Order of War. And, for its continuing foray into the waters of Xbox Live Arcade development, the company is releasing a game from that most Xbox Live Arcade-y of genres, the dual-stick shooter.
It's called Project: Cube, and controls like Robotron or Geometry Wars, as far as I can tell from the trailer. The action takes place in an arena, with players controlling a character who can fire blue lasers against enemies who fire red lasers. Lasers seem to be slow-moving and hang in the air, allowing your character to dodge and move around them. Whenever you score a hit, with your weapon or otherwise, your target explodes, leaving a huge mess of blood on the floor.
The game will feature multiplayer modes like co-op and versus with four people per team over Xbox Live.
Project: Cube doesn't look bad at all - it looks pretty fun - you just would never guess it's a Square-Enix game. No details on when this will come out or whether it'll make its way to other systems. Check out the trailer above.
