Bungie Studios and Gathering of Developers today revealed details on many of the main characters in the companies' upcoming "full-contact action" game, Oni. The game is expected to be released on January 29, 2001, simultaneously for the Mac, PC and Playstation 2.

*Yawn*

I was never impressed by this game, its specs or its visuals. I've seen every released screenshot (that I know of) and I fail to get even slightly excited about this game. It doesn't quite have that Bungie look, and the enviroment seems stark. The textures seem uninspired, the models goofy. Not to mention that the game seems awfully repititious from what I've read. That said, it has a killer soundtrack from what I can tell (techno - almost Trance like - reminds me of Sandra Collins) the anime theme is way cool, and since it IS a Bungie game, you can bet the story is killer. I've owned every Bungie game since Marathon, so I will buy it - but I'm not nearly as excited about it as I was about Myth....

Well the looks as good as any other in it's class. It will be way better than the unchanging Tomb Raider series which would be it's main competition. That game is so predictable and it's textures are very repetitive. So to me it will be the best out there, for 3rd person action games.
