Condemned: Criminal Origins allows players to experience an unnatural level of psychological tension as they use their instincts, forensic tools, and melee combat to track serial killers and bring them to justice. Gamers will play as Ethan Thomas, an FBI agent in the Serial Crimes Unit (SCU), whose pursuit of relentless serial killers leads him through detailed urban environments filled with deadly sociopaths who lurk on the periphery of humanity.
Check 12 new Condemned screens (http://www.worthplaying.com/article.php?sid=29403) over at WorthPlaying.

I see all kinds of blunt objects: lead pipe, jimmy, the flaming thingy... I hope all those melee weapon types differentiate the experience somehow.

It looks like "urban combat" entails a lot of lead pipes, wrenches and other bashing implements.

This game looks like it has 'sleeper hit' written all over it. Visually it looks pretty good, though I am a little worried that it will be too dark.

I will buy any Monolith game that is not Matrix Online. They have earned my trust.
A "sleeper hit" is probably right. If it will be a hit.
The flash-bang hype-machines coming out these days are gonna dry up some people cash-wise.
I guess this is made with the F.E.A.R. engine? Or with similar tech?
I always like what monolith create, so I'll definately check it out.

Sega quietly cancelled the PC and PS3 versions of this game, btw. Check out the official site: http://www.sega.com/games/game_temp.php?game=condemned
Not only is there an "Only on Xbox 360" logo, but all of their other multiplatform titles list every platform at the bottom.

I wonder if they were paid to make it xbox only or if they just were not up to the task.

I'm pumped as hell for this one. FEAR had atmosphere to spare, and from some of the latest videos it looks like the combat and fuck-with-your-head elements have really come together. Monolith is one of my top five studios at the moment (barely, because of MxO).

Yup, been watching this one very closely. Looks hella tasty!
EDIT - Jesus wept, I just realized that I wrote 'hella'. Time for bed, methinks.

No, SEGA too. If Sega wanted to make the game for the PS3 and PC, Monolith would do it, or Sega would find someone else to do the port (there are plenty of devs to exist to do little else). It's a publisher decision, not a developer one.
OR... the game BARELY runs on an X360 and it CAN'T be ported.
OR... there's NO SUCH THING as a PS3, unless you're a Japanese devloper and/or Sony 1st and 2nd party.
AND... there's little-to-no money in the PC market, versus the console market.
Also, the game looks like "Manhunter FPS"... you can take that however you want. :p

Sega = half japanese
PC = Monolith's home
theres a big difference in this game and manhunt, this one doesnt lick sweaty balls.
Condemned is still coming to the PC, and there never was a PS3 version. It was 'assumed' to be on PS3 because it was announced as 'next generation consoles'

Why all the speculation and pissiness about them making exclusive content? Sega made PS2 exclusive stuff for years. Many traditionally PC producers have stated that it is easier to program for a console. You have one set of hardware that you program for. With PCs its a hodge podge that can be a bit more difficult. Plus, the market for consoles have been getting bigger and bigger. PC gaming has seen a decline.
Also, did everyone see the vids with the freaky mannequinson the in-game trailers to this game...very cool.

After NOLF2, AVP2, and F.E.A.R. i would buy shit wrapped in a box with monolith slapped on it. I will most definatly be buying this.
