I don't mean "out of this world" as a compliment, here. It's just fact. The movie based on the King of Fighters franchise is so detached from the game's own story that they had to set it IN A DIFFERENT DIMENSION.

It's been a while since we last heard anything about Frontier Development's long in development techno thriller, The Outsider (PS3, 360, PC). Things are set to change however, as we've received word that the David Braben led project has signed a publisher, exactly who the publisher is will be announced in the very near future.

Frontier Developments' Founder David Braben has revealed details on his current project The Outsider (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360) and confirmed that they are working on Elite IV for next gen consoles in the recent Nottingham's Game City event.

In the conference, Braben described the video game as an "action thriller, directed by the player." Further lending to this feeling is the premise of the game which places players in the shoes of an ex-CIA agent called Jameson who was framed for the murder of the U.S. President.

While The Outsider has a lot of action sequences, a major part of the video game has Jameson interacting and dealing with various factions such as the Chinese secret service and the corrupt CIA agents who framed him. Fans of non-linear gameplay will be thrilled to know that Braben said that they have modeled the entire Washington DC in the game and that it is possible for players to interact with thousands of NPCs in the game.

Braben also revealed that The Outsider features a robust physics engine and animation system complete with motion capture. In one of the videos featured during the event, they showed of Jamison knocking out one of the bad guys causing him to painfully bounce off one of the nearby tables before hitting the ground.

Gamers who can't wait to pick up a copy of Founder Developments' The Outsider will be happy to know that it should be available for PS3 and Xbox 360 some time this year barring any delays.

First announced almost a year and a half ago, David Braben's techno-thriller The Outsider remains to be the ever-elusive Sasquatch. With intermittent bursts of screenshots by the truckload, information just can't seem to burst through the dam fast enough. Both the PS3 and Xbox 360 fans are just thirsty for info when it comes to this game.

But not for long. Sighting of the game has been confirmed, and finally, it does hint at a clearer view of what the gameplay really is all about. Leading man Jameson, accused of assassinating the President, is sure to take on a whole lot of sprint exercises as CIA operatives chase him around town.

Most definitely, snipers will be hidden within buildings to try and take him down as he runs for it. So, why did he come back to the scene of the crime knowing full well that all's out to get him? Is he pursuing a vendetta against the government? That remains to be the mystery.

But from the few clues that were divulged via the video, we can surmise that he would want to break into the White House, and probably scour for evidence that he is innocent of the charges against him. Most probably, he was just set up. After all, no guilty murderer would come back to the crime scene hoping against hope that an evidence would turn up, clearing him of the crime.

Anyhow, if you want to see what we're talking about, and if you want to see the sasquatch finally captured on video, just click on the Read link below. Release date still TBA.

The Outsider is a techno-thriller. That alone should get you in the edge of your seats for Frontier Developments' much anticipated next generation, high-octane action game.

Revolving around political events, the player takes on the character of ex-CIA John Jameson, as he finds himself the prime suspect for the President's assassination. Amidst the chaos of the martial law surrounding Washington DC, the framed operative tries to escape the long arm of the US Government.

If that is too Hollywood for you, Frontier promises that the game will abandon the prescriptive, mostly linear story found in most of the next generation games by replacing it with characters' motivations in an immersive, dynamic world storyline. So expect the unexpected in The Outsider.
