GameLight- Hybrid

Another developer is taking up the task of creating another shooter, and it's a fierce competition in the market right now since there are so many of them.  I'm not really sure how I came across this game anymore, but Hybrid is a competitive multiplayer 3rd-Person Action Shooter that is set to launch on the Xbox Live Arcade and PC.  From the trailers I've seen, players can fly around with jet packs and take cover behind obstructions and walls.  The heavy sci-fi theme isn't unfamiliar, but still leaves quite the impression looking at it.  As I've mentioned many times in the past, I'm really sick of all the multiplayer-only shooters that keep releasing in the market when they can't hold a community longer than a couple of months.  More accurately, I'm sick of spending money on those types of games only to end up not being able to play them because no one plays them anymore.  Look at those graphics and fast-paced action.  It looks like a lot of fun, right?  When the community dies out, there's no possible way to play it anymore because the game's experience relies solely on its players.  Unfortunately, many of these multiplayer-centric shooters are created by indie-developed teams and distributed digitally which means it won't reach all of its potential audience and the team may not always have the resources to keep the community stable.  There isn't much detail on the game other than that it's a competitive multiplayer 3rd-Person Shooter where the player takes the role of a Paladin or Variant.  You can fly, hide, and shoot and possibly stab too judging from the ending of the trailer.  Whether there will be a single-player campaign or any relevant storyline following the game is unclear at the moment.  The release date of Hybrid is TBA possibly sometime in 2012.
