^ Well the fact that he worked on it for 8 years doesn't mean much to me actually
Sure the game could've been in the works for that amount of time but not necessarily being worked on you know?
If he's been working day in day out on the game coding, environments, physics etc. for 8 friggin years then I'm sure the game will be good but I highly doubt that is the case.
In my honest opinion I think this game will be like a glorified version of jibbin with better graphics etc.
Oh how I would love to be proved wrong.
