Project Offset is one of the most promising new franchises/engines to come out of the gaming industry in the past several years. It looks to have the makings of a major hit, despite having a development group of only a few more than a dozen individuals. It started out as an idea to create an engine that allowed a small, finance-strapped team to create a blockbuster-caliber product and it eventually turned into not only the fruition of that idea, but the development of the first game to use the engine as well.
The game has only been confirmed for the PC, but it has been said by some that it would be coming to both the PS3 and 360 due to the hiring of PS3 and 360 developers.
Project Offset has recently found a Publisher but has failed to confirm who this is. They have now closed off access to their official site, which begs the question, what are they going to announce? Who is their publisher? What is the game going to be called? And most importantly what platforms will this promising game come to apart from the PC?

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.
of rumors, rather not hear about it till its confirmed.
To many good games that want to steal my college savings.
This is pure speculatation could be nintendo for alla that we know
Yay! I tipped this article... they certainly butchered the title though... I didn't say anything about the PS3, that's just a thread I keep up over at PS3Forums where I posted about the password protection.
Yeah, I didn't say anything specific about the PS3 in my tip though, I clicked PS3, 360, and PC for relevant areas. I just happened to add the info in my thread over at PS3Forums, and used that for the reference URL. As for sources... try the www.projectoffset.com site yourself... it's definitely password protected. The rest of the PS3 stuff is just because it's over at PS3Forums. If you find a source that has nothing to do with any one system over another, by all means change the source to that. Sorry for the confusion, I didn't think it'd actually post my whole thread here. It would be better if you changed the part in this article where is says
"*UPDATE* apparently it has been confirmed (?) that Project Offset WILL be coming to PS3. Something about their hiring a PS3 developer and looking for a 360 dev? "
to the most recent Update in the thread, which talks about the password protection. Or just deleting that part from what is displayed here altogether would seem to be a fine solution.
That's a lot better now. It flows much better as an article.
