Looks awesome. Gutting to think a game if that obvious quality got binned.

Wow interesting news!

Hope to see this released someday, in the vids it looks like it was almost completed. I love the 3D background. :)
Don't be surprised, my broken English is legendary!

Kinda reminds me of the first 2 Grand Theft Auto games - they also used 3D polygon backgrounds with 2D rendered sprites on top.

Very cool! Really hope to see this finished some day.

Can't say I'm too impressed with that...the above view isnt the best and that level looked pretty boring, i know its a demo, but the video was making me nauseous!

The perspective does seem to hide things you need to shoot and not being able to shoot up and down doesn't help.

I does look nice but seems like it was far from complete.

Doubt it'll be finished, but you never know...
source exists still in the original programmers hands.

That's unfortunate that it chances are it won't get finished.  But, as you say, we never know what'll happen. 

Going to the final frontier, gaming...

Well, its possible Carl could pick it up and finish if DML wants to let him do so, but something makes me think that the original programmer handing over source to a game they started but never completed a vision on and having someone else finish it might not sit well. I know if it were my project i would want it to be finished the way i had envisioned it originally. Its possible DML might be at a point where he doesnt care soo much about it anymore.
