I'm not very optimistic, but then again I don't think I will EVER recover from the gaping wounds left in my soul by the last two atrocities. The Sands of Time was a godsend and is one of the most brilliant games to have ever graced the medium and following THAT up with WW and TTT... well, they'll never earn back my forgiveness for that.

That said, the new visual approach does look solid. Tons of style, but already none of the charm of Sands. At any rate, I'll be watching how this one unfolds with a great amount of hesitance, but I do hope it turns out well. I don't believe Jordan Mechner has any involvement whatsoever, so that doesn't exactly help put me at ease.
