Capcom's super secret 'Flock' game - Lemmings from another perspective

[Zeus]

<a href="http://xboxlive.ign.com/articles/887/887740p1.html" target="_blank">IGN.com</a> has posted up a look at Capcom's super secret project that is 'Flock'. It's in production for PC, PSN and XBLA. The aim of the game is that "in each of its 50-plus stages, players have to find a way to manipulate herds of different farm creatures from one spot on the map towards our giant mothership laying in wait pick it up. It's essentially Lemmings from another perspective, but not so much that it feels like we've done this all before (it's surprisingly easy to get into despite its somewhat conventional premise)."

The best news, though, is that even in its current stage, Flock is a very playable and personable way to pass the time. When finished, it'll have more than 50 different stages, a simultaneous two-player option, and the inclusion of the same map editor that the designers used that will allow players to create their own playfields from scratch. Looking forward, Proper and Capcom haven't ruled out the possibility of supporting more maps or animals through downloadable updates either, which could keep the replay going well beyond the lifespan of your typical downloadable title.

You don't want to hear it, but perhaps this is the game that wasn't technologically possible 2 years ago, but now it is. How can you make something so annoying simple into something technologically amazing? From a mathematics POV, the screenshot does say it all.

bulls*** it was already done years ago by someone else and published by take2.
if capcom release this they'll probably get sued and loose.

I'd rather see PushOver remake on XBLA and PSN.

Much rather have Dave Jones do another Lemmings, after all he invented the genre.
