I've been wondering about this game. I haven't seen much about it other than a trailer and it's coming out pretty soon.(March 1st, it says on several sites) I thought the movie sucked but have never played any of the previous games. The only reason why I'm making a thread about this is because I heard the game was based on the works of H.P. Lovecraft, who is my favorite writer. Anyone else interested? Are the previous installments any good?

Too bad......
Have you ever read anything by H.P. Lovecraft? He litterally changed the science fiction & horror genre and influenced many of today's writers. Everyone should at least read the Call of Cthulhu. Personaly, I think they should actually teach his works in schools.
From Barnes & Noble: Long after his death, H. P. Lovecraft continues to enthrall readers with his gripping tales of madness and cosmic terror, and his effect on modern horror fiction continues to be felt-- Stephen King, Anne Rice, and Clive Barker have acknowledged his influence. His unique contribution to American literature was a melding of Poe's traditional supernaturalism with the emerging genre of science fiction. Originally appearing in pulp magazines like Weird Tales in the 1920s and 1930s, Lovecraft's work is now being regarded as the most important supernatural fiction of the twentieth century.
"I think it is beyond doubt that H. P. Lovecraft has yet to be surpassed as the twentieth century's greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale." --Stephen King
P.S. Did I mention he's my favorite writer?

H.P. Lovecraft is supposed to have a MAX Comic coming out at Marvel...something like they did with Edgar Allen Poe.

It's not the first time but nothing's better than the original. Plus Lovecraft's masterful use of words in his stories are amazing, half the time I need a dictionary nearby because I don't understand some of the words he uses and I have a large vocabulary for someone my age.
P.S. Funny thing that you mentioned Poe because Lovecraft was a big fan of his work.

It seems they have changed the main character Jack Carnby's design. I'm just happy this game's still in developement, I was a little scared that it might have been canned. Pic 1Pic 2

Yeah, but do you know how much it costs nowadays? A couple million dollars each, for a big franchise like Halo it's ten times as much than that.

yeah, that's why most games are going multi-platform now...they don't make enough money off of one system. But that's why the big games like Halo and God of War, etc, etc are funded by their parent company... and why games like GTA are going multiplatform.

Yeah I know I was hopeing for an E3 trailer but no such luck. But it's still in development as far as I know but its coming along slowly because of a few facts I've read in an interveiw a month or so back; The first reason why its coming along slowly is because the developers want to take their time on this game and not rush it, the guy said that the team wants to do the series justice and that the story will be very complex seeing how the story is represented in episodic like style taking from many great shows like Lost and 24. He also said that the game was almost dropped by Atari because they were having money troubles at the time and that evidently slowed the production to a crawl for a few months and because of those same money problems they're making the game for Ps2, PsP & Wii now when it was originaly slated only for Ps3 & 360. The other reason why this may seem like there's been absolutely been no new info on the game is because they want it that way, they're holding back a lot so they don't give main plot points away. Here's a little gameplay I found on youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDoeQfg0fyA
