Project Offset now PC exclusive
The Rumour The highly secretive title is now coming exclusively to PC thanks to Intel's purchase of the development team.
Verdict: Confirmation of platforms isn't the only thing that's been secretive in this project, with little being known on the game itself. It does seem that console owners won't be seeing the game any time soon though, with Remi Arnaud, Senior Graphics Architect and Manager of the Game Engine Technology team at Intel having this to say about cross-platform development.
"We're not limited by the issues most developers have to deal with. As a game developer, you have to sell your game on the PS3, you have to sell it on the Xbox, because that's where the money is. That means you're limited because those platforms are old now. And so, what's coming out now is brand-new and so much better and all kinds of things that are not possible if you have to include cross-platform into your roadmap..."
Sounds like it's coming exclusively to PC then.
Plausibility rating: 5/5

Extraquarter-"Unfortunate ly, history has shown, there are a select few titles, despite the enormous attention and potential, will never see the light of day. None showed so much promise, potential and excitement, arguably more than Project Offset."
"You know, it’s no secret that many games have been cancelled in the past. Some of those games had the potential to be a AAA experience but for some reason or the other, those ideas were thrown out. That is the way the industry works, because after all it’s a business."
We all know if The Getaway 3 ever had to exist it would've been to GTA-ish seeing thats what fans would've wanted.
Man, would be awesome to see The Getaway and Star Wars 1313 on PS4. Though, BloodRayne didn't make the list, it was a lot of fun too...would like to see it on PS4 as well!
I forgot all about Project offset, but I always knew PO would never come out on the PS3 or X360. PO appeared to be beyond both systems capabilities at the the time. Fractiv LLC is the name of the company that made PO demo, they actually licensed their game engine for the game Firefall. I do think Sony should make Getaway 3 for the PS4, thought the demo looked pretty nice and GW2 was decent but not great back in the day.
Project Offset!! Thank you, I have been trying to remember the name of that one, I was so excited about it but it just vanished.
I think technology now is capable of rendering Project Offset. In 2006 no way graphics processors had the rendering grunt to run this vaporware demo at HDTV resolution with AA. Look at Crysis, took about 4 years before single graphics cards could render that Crysis at max settings around 60 FPS.
My old Nvidia GTX 670 was the first graphics card I own that could rendering Crysis at 60 FPS with AA 2012. In 2010 my AMD 6970 got close, around 50 FPS without AA max settings.
another crap game
damnit....I am pissed offset is pc exclusive....
