To put it a little less bluntly than KDR... I haven't seen this featured much in magazines or websites ... so either it's gonna be a surprise hit, or it's gonna get more media attention soon... or it's gonna sink without trace.
I hope the former, since I know a lot of polycounters are working on it. The screenshots and the stuff in that trailer looks pretty good, i like the characters, guns and vehicles but sometimes the landscapes are looking a little uninspired.
Who knows eh. I will wait for a demo and see what it's like
Ya know when you go to a movie and you sit and watch the trailers. Some of them when you watch it, you know that this is going to be piece of shit just by the trailer.
Just reading the overview I can pick out the cliches. Future, check. Prisoners, check. Some Bio-weapon/disease involved, check. Angry/loony doctor, check. Earth-all-fucked-up, check.
The vehicles look all wrong. They look like they belong in UT2k4. If this took place on an other planet ok. But on Earth 1g=1g.
Sorry for the meanness of this post but I getting very sick of same thing repackaged with a fancy new engine. The assets are pro. But so was Doom3's. Games with no plot are ok (Serious Sam, PainKiller) but if you are going to give it one. Hire a REAL writer. Don't let the AD, Producer, Project lead come up with it.
If you let them write at least rip-off a good author. There is 60+years of high quality SciFi out there.
I am hoping it plays well as I havent been excited by the trailer. I dont think the art style is distinct enough to establish the title from other scifi games - but that doesnt mean shit if its fun to play. For example visually Doom3 is nice.. but system shock 2 is 10x as fun to play even with its uber low poly graphics.
Give us a fun and rewarding game experience and I will buy it..............

Did I see SpeedTree in some of those shots?
