Jane Jensen's Gray Matter bumped to 2008
Jane Jensen's Gray Matter has been unexpectedly delayed from Q4 2007 to Q1 2008, according to a listing by publisher Anaconda. Gray Matter marks Jensen's return to her point-and-click roots after an extended hiatus (her acclaimed Gabriel Knight series ended in 1999) -- but apparently her return won't happen as soon as we'd hoped.In Gray Matter, players become both recluse widower Dr. David Styles and his part-time-street-performing assistant Samantha Everett, as the pair investigates the eerie results of their strange experiments. "Gray Matter tackles questions concerning the nature of reality and the power of the human mind in constructing the world we take for granted," promises Anaconda.[Via Blue's News]
Jade Empire's grand PC makeover
BioWare's three-year absence from the PC (not counting those fine Neverwinter premium mods) is about to come to an end in January when the revamped Jade Empire ships. According to project director Diarmid Clarke, the 3 million-strong fan community asked for some overdue PC love, and the Canadian developer responded. Speaking with FiringSquad, Clarke discusses Jade's new levels and fighting styles, reveals a few new enemies, and explains the decision to recruit Gray Matter (Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Call of Duty: United Offensive) to assist with the port from Xbox.The high-res coat of paint and enhanced effects are evident in the latest batch of screens, but it will be interesting to see if fans take their Chinese kung fu mythology with the fully customizable mouse and keyboard controls, or the more familiar Xbox controller. Which will you choose?See also: Mass Effect rumored for the PC BioWare exec confirms Jade Empire continuation
