Sci-fi action-RPG Mars unveiled
By Silverfall dev for PS3, 360, PC.
Freshly-formed developer Spiders has unveiled a science fiction action-RPG called Mars for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
Due out next year, the game explores a non-traditional fantasy land set on that dusty red rock that keeps breaking our robot probes. There are no robots at first glance here, though - just heroes Seth and Pandora.
They come from different backgrounds and have different skills. Seth's an ex-soldier and likes pummelling things, while Pandora uses magic called technomancy. They're on a journey to find their identity and a future on this post-apocalyptic planet, where even the reflection of the sun can become a weapon.
Spiders was formed by the creators of Silverfall, a traditional and decent fantasy action-RPG released in 2007.
Head over to our Mars gallery for the first batch of screenshots.

Strike one.
Then again, I just finished a game that insisted on following every utterance of the word "magic" with the word "energy", for its entire 60+ hour duration. So who knows?

Good old Lost Odyssey! It's like they thought that "magic" was copywritten or something. They didn't mind calling the units of magic "MP" though, rather than "MEP"...

Nice to see the first poster steal the words straight off my keyboard.
Why does a sci-fi RPG have to have any reference to magic anyway? Since 'technomancy' is obviously technology related, why not just call it 'hacking', and be done with it?

The last I heard this game was being developed for the PS3 and PC?

I'm not commenting on whether or not it should be on the 360, just that I'm not sure it's going to be from what I've heard. Have a look at the link below:

Of course the developers might have announced that there is going to be a 360 version, hence my original question.

"To be honest I don’t know. As we have no publisher yet and as we‘re working on PS3 and PC we’re for now planning only these two versions. If the publisher(s) we find ask(s) for a 360 version we’ll do it of course."
So I'd guess we'll probably see a 360 version at some point.
