Post Rise of the Argonauts: Taking RPGs to the Next Level

GameTrailers is hosting a new "Taking RPGs to the Next Level" trailer for Rise of the Argonauts, in which Liquid Entertainment's Ed Del Castillo and Charley Price explain why they think the action RPG will push the genre forward.

I'm not really familiar with Rise of the Argonauts but why so much hubbub over whether it will revolutionise the RPG genre? Might probably take a look at some of their trailers.

Not hubbub, hype. Del Castillo doesn't sound too creative to me, and Rise just looks like another hack 'n slash.

I'm terrified when a game that wasn't going to show stats is about to take RPGs to the next level... What will that be? A shooter?

I'm sure that they'll have us much success as Bioshock.

I watched the Comic-Con gameplay demos and based on that, it looked and plays very similar to Capcom's Shadow of Rome, an action hack-and-slash game which came out 3 years ago.
