Kotaku have a story about Alchemic teaming up with Larry Niven to create game set in a Niven world/universe
Larry Niven is one of my favourite Sci-fi writers - and the prospect of a ‘Larry Niven game’ makes me VERY EXCITED.
Theres no mention of what type of game it will be - FPS, RPG, 3rdPS etc, but there are a few tantalising details..
The gameplay takes place entirely in zero gravity - the only time you’ll have your feet firmly planted on the ground is during the game’s cutscenes. The player starts off as a miner just learning the ropes of zero-g movement, using tools, etc. The early stages of the game will introduce the mechanics that will turn you from a fledging miner into a zero-g warrior, and you’ll have real technology to back you up.
Mmmmmmmm… Crystallized floaty blood 
Ideally, i would like a Larry Niven version of Mass Effect, ie something thats both FPS & RPG, but either way i’ll be watching this one carefully.
