Speaking to VideoGamer.com, Simon Woodroffe, creative director of Wheelman, has claimed that an unnamed project currently in development at Midway boasts greater visuals than those of Epic Games’ Gears of War 2.
"I just saw a demo of a new Midway game that’s in development. I can’t tell you too much about it, but they’ve been on it for three months and it looks as good if not better than Gears 2," said Woodroffe.
"This is only possible because of the sharing of technology. It’s similar to Gears, but a totally different set up. I’d say that if we were to take all of the games that sold on next gen formats, averaged a couple of things out, this will be as successful as anything in the top end. It’s a very exciting concept."
Woodroffe added: "It’s already looking as good as Gears 2, but the game mechanics are kind of different. It’s going to be really big and really important. It’s not often, especially when you’re a cynical type, that you see a prototype or creative slice and just get blown away by it. But in this case, the hype is justified."
Woodroffe also goes on to detail various other projects currently in the works at Midway, though reveals we’ll have to wait until around 2010 to get our hands on them. Check out the full interview here.
