The constant picking over the corpse of 38 Studios is equally frustrating and fascinating, especially as Project Copernicus really looked like it might have been a contender in the MMO stakes. If it was even half as good as Kingdoms of Amalur I know I would have bought it.

I’m guessing the steady leak of these videos are an attempt to try and keep attention and interest high in the project ahead of another party stepping in to buy up and revive the project. Stranger things have happened to worse abandoned projects, APBs revival springs to mind.

The videos aren't embedding properly but you can see small crappy versions below or click through on each for the HD versions.

They all originated from the blog of developer Steve Danasur which you can check out here. The videos are all very eerily beautiful and well worth checking out. Project Copernicus really might have been an amazing game, the people working on it were clearly dedicated and had a passion for the project.
