A few days ago Capcom revealed the games they’d be showing off at E3. We knew about all of them, except 1 game – Flock. IGN has just put up an article about the game, complete with a trailer. Find out all the details and watch the trailer after the jump.

Flock is being developed by a UK based studio, Proper Games and is coming out on XBLA, PC and PSN with the aim of ‘capturing’ the download market. I’m not quite sure that they will succeed, as the download market moves very fast, and Proper Games will need a very strong net, or maybe a harpoon gun, in order to capture it successfully. Ah yes, first pun of the day.

Anyway, now onto the actual game. Contrary to speculation, Flock is not a Dead Rising sequel nor is it a survival horror based on The Birds, instead its a Lemmings-esque game where you have to round up farm creatures using a UFO space ship….

Riiight.

The game has lots of tricks up it’s sleeve. Your main method of rounding up the farm creatures is by frightening them with your death ray, but you’ll soon find yourself moving parts of the environment or getting sheep wet in order to fit them through small gaps. To add to the confusion, if any animal falls into the water surrounding the island, then they’re dead and lost. And dead. Also, lost. You have to round up a certain number of animals on each level, and if you don’t meet that quota terrible things will happen such as failing the level.

Flock will have 50 levels, co-op play and a map editor, with the possibility of downloadable user created levels. I’m sure we’ll see more of Flock at E3 which, in case you didn’t remember, Sarcastic Gamer will be covering.
