In nature things are not always what they seem to be.
To survive one must live, adapt and evolve.
Data-Fly

December 13, 2005 - We previously reported on an upcoming action game called Data-Fly that's still early in development for the next generation of consoles, and recently got a few updates on some of the game's specifics. Produced by ORiGO Gaming Entertainment, Data-Fly puts you in the futuristic shoes of a female character named, well, Data-Fly.

At the game's outset you find yourself stranded in the desert and charged with the simple directive to find your creator. As you progress through the game, you'll find this task becomes increasingly complicated, as the creator tends to move around and is heavily guarded to boot. The actual gameplay centers on using a variety of stealth techniques to vanquish your opposition. Generally, these techniques revolve around hacking into enemy mainframes and manipulating enemy units to do your bidding.

Specifically, Data-Fly will be able to use a guardian hack technique to infiltrate the circuitry of manned and unmanned enemy units. She'll also be able to shape shift into other characters and blend into environments with a special AI she has equipped. Using this, she'll be able to scan and replicate enemy appearances, movement aspects, and weapons. She'll also be able to mimic enemy voices, the exact consequences of which are as of yet unclear, but it definitely opens up some intriguing possibilities.



Nano-tech stuff.

In addition to these more stealth-based techniques, Data-Fly will have a variety of unique attacks and weapons at her disposal. Her main weapon is being called a body blade which, like the name implies, is generated within her being. Different body blade forms can eventually be discovered and created at will, at the cost of a certain amount of energy points. In order to maintain your energy points to continuously generate weapons and ammunition, you'll need to see out large energy sources such as open circuits or the electrical elements of dropped enemy weaponry.

Why the creator is so heavily guarded, who you really are and how all your skills will balance with each other are still questions that cannot yet be answered. These are the only concrete details we have at this point, though they certainly sound interesting and could make for some unique gameplay experiences. Stay tuned to IGN for more on this upcoming next-generation title as more information surfaces.

Info from IGN from 2005 on the game..

[Drew664]

Who knows morse code?

I'm almost positive that is what the second picture has underneath of it...

EDIT:

Bah, the PSU forum already got to it. The second picture translates into

"Are you watching?"

DOUBLE EDIT:

Double Bah! lol, the PSU forum may have gotten the third clue as well.

"To live is to survive.
To survive is to learn.
To learn is to adapt.
Nature knows no bounds.
In nature curiosity reigns.

World exclusive trailer at GDC."

Apparently a clue about phone numbers is was what helped crack this clue. I have no idea how he got it, as the poster simply left the answer. :/

*EDIT*

So picture one is nothing special in the code just the number of the letter in the alphabet which means:

Picture One (Numbered Alphabet System):
In nature things are not always what they seem to be.
To survive one must live, adapt and evolve.
Data-Fly

Picture Two (Morse Code):
"Are you watching?"

Picture Three (Unknown Code):
"To live is to survive.
To survive is to learn.
To learn is to adapt.
Nature knows no bounds.
In nature curiosity reigns.

World exclusive trailer at GDC."

[Drew664]

Ya, those codes were broken literally right away. Apparently GDC had a closed screening of the new teaser trailer. I'm surprised no one has written anything on it though.

Ah well, the website will have it available as soon as the countdown finishes. Essentially Friday midnight.

I'm just really hoping this is not a FPS game.
