RPGDot posted a preview of the upcoming sci-fi/post-apocalypse RPG Restricted Area yesterday. While the article is pretty short, it's a worthwhile read if you're looking forward to the game. Here's their impression of the gameplay:
<blockquote>So how does it feel ?
After all the theory let´s talk about a few impressions collected in the short playing session.
The action was clearly faster than in other action RPGs. Sometimes the game threw a dozen enemies at once on the main char. Very direct gameplay without unnecessary sentimentality. All the action and effects had no performance impact whatsoever, it was always fluid.
The interface was very good, apart from the few problems mentioned above, which is normal in an alpha version. It´s hard to say anything definitive about the technical aspects because dungeon graphics and music were still work in progress. The part of the old sound track I heard - I guess this is the one which will be the bonus on the DVD- sounded a bit like Quake.
To summarize it, Restricted Area felt like sci-fi Diablo meets Crusader.</blockquote>
There are rumors of the game being released already in Germany, though no reliable sources have been found yet .

Why is it that all interesting games (besides FO3) seem to be coming out of Europe and not the US?
