"We've also added more action to the story line"
when I read that I just went "Nooooo"
and then
No arcade elements or anything like that, but we've made the story more dynamic with more exciting things happening to Kate. As you will now be living the adventure with Hans instead of following around after him, trying to find him
and it was all good
New visual effects are also present here. Kate now leaves footprints in the snow as she trudges from one scene to another, trees blow in the wind, shadows play across the ground as clouds move in front of the sun, a light volumetric fog drifts across the top of the forest, dynamic reflections can be seen in icy water, directional water shows the current flowing in a realistic fashion, and background scenery moves at a different rate of speed than the foreground. The latter was shown to great panoramic effect in our demo when Kate walked along a path with a mountain range in the distance.
this, plus they kept the old interface and the story looks promising.
WOW! I`m really looking forward to this!!

Status : Online | Yeah i agree with you but i am REALLY concerned about this action thing :-/ However i must admit that Syberia is one of my all time classics (despite the fact that it was too easy).
Resistance is not futile, we're gonna win this thing, humankind is too good, we're not a bunch of under-achievers! We're gonna stand up, and we're gonna be human beings. We're going to get fired up about the real things, the things that matter! Creativity, and the dynamic human spirit that refuses to submit.

Status : Online | This preview is on the front page big banner and is 4 pages in length on Gamespot.com. Good job Microids for publicizing your game (Ubi Soft are you there?) !! I am so excited to see an adventure get top billing.
If you are at Gamespot and like strategies (like my 11 year old) check out Command and Conquer Generals previews. EA/Westwood is another publisher that knows how to get a following for a game by giving lots of info prior to its release.
Largo Winch and Stupid Invaders were both published by Ubi Soft with no fanfare whatsoever which is disappointing.

Status : Online | Is it my imagination or does that sketch of Kate look very Lara Kroft-tish?

Dimitris, I think you should start chanting now "Microïds is dead" since they have officialy announced that Syberia 2 will have more action in the story (just like BS3)
