Paradox announced two new games yesterday:  Cities: Skyline (from the Cities in Motion folks) which looks to be a SimCity competitor (and yes, you can play offline :2funny:) and Hollowpoint, "an action-packed co-op combat title set in the 22nd century."

They even have to mention "play offline". Har har har.
But that musical theme sounds like Sim City.

Hollowpoint looks great.  I am a sucker for cyberpunk-themed merc games.

Really? I thought it looked like crap. A bunch of players running back and forth on a platform, no real cover, no real tactics. We'll see...but so far...meh.

I'm also interesting due to the theme.  I'm assuming what little gameplay we saw was just some pre-Alpha conceptual stuff.

What worries me was the 'PS4' stamp underneath it.  If it's just a typical console action game, prepare for disappointment.
