OH. MY. GOD!

Over 13 minutes long and worth watching right through!

By the time this download gets finished the damn game will already be out.

Man I am so looking forward to this game.

Graphically, the game looks amazing. But and I am only hoping from what the guy said about how they only had the final hardware from Microsoft when they ran the demo, but the Framerate is horrid in some areas. I hope this is something that isn't overlooked for pretty graphics.

 

[Galford Forever]

Oh my lord! This is the first I've heard of this game (I'm out of the loop). I wasn't planning on getting any next-gen console, but this could push me into buying a 360. We'll see. Very cool though.

I'm sorry I just don't see the draw to this game.

Why are you fighting orcs?

I'm sorry I just don't see the draw to this game.

Why are you fighting orcs?

If you use that logic, why play video games at all?

I'm sorry I just don't see the draw to this game.

Why are you fighting orcs?

Why does a plumber fight turtles and eat mushrooms?
Why does a commando run about shooting aliens?
Why do I feel the need to shoot red enemy, blue enemy, then yellow enemy?


You get the gist.

Hey Spin, BTW I just got home downloaded this file in less then 4min total time.

Sweet stuff dude. this game looks tight!

 

[Stinky-Dinkins]

Why are you fighting orcs?

That sounded like a real deep, introspective question about life.

 

[RAINBOW PONY]

thats probably the best looking game ive ever seen, just incredible. looks kinda scary too. that makes every 360 launch title look like dogshit.

but as dark as that game is, it's gonna be hell on my LCDRP tv =]

i just hope if the SP is short as hell the MP online rocks.

Mario jumping on turtles is pretty fun.

This on the other hand just looks to be a shooting gallery. Hey look I can shoot at guys behind a wall, or I can crouch and shoot at guys behind a wall, or I can point the gun behind my head and shoot at guys behind a wall.

I really don't care what the graphics look like if the game plays like terrible.

I watched the whole thing, but had to force myself to. Not very entertaining.

The amount of using that fucking "cover" mechanic has me slightly worried. It looks like a great deal of fun to use, but I really want to see some regular shooting sections as well.

Kill Switch had the "duck and cover" motif down to a 'T', I don't need to do it all over again.

true, it kinda reminds me of brute force, i liked the game, but there really was no skill involved with the aiming system, it was sort of "on rails" so multi player was boring as hell even though SP was good for a once thru.

gears of war looks like it plays just as slow and i didnt see any zoom mode in that vid, it was all machine gun fire.

i want a game like halo 1 where skill of aiming mattered, and you could get headshots etc. not just gunning down shit by a spread of bullets.

Yes, it does look like another generational jump beyound the current batch. It usually seems to take much longer to see this much improvement when a new console is released.

Hopefully the gameplay lives up to the graphics.

I don't see how anyone who watched that could still walk away and be like "Ohhh! The PS3 is infinitely more powerful and the Xbox360 looks just like a slightly better Xbox"


That shit looked far better than any PC game or Xbox game I've seen at this point. I can't wait.

Looks good,but I'm quite sure that it's gonna suck.

yes, yes it does, gotta love unreal technology.

Yeah, that's what I'm kind of thinking too. It just looks too good to be true, you know? It can't possibly live up to the expectations I've built up in my head for it. If it is truly as awesome as it looks though, it'll probably make me buy a 360 for it.

As of right now, the only "next gen" console I'm planning on buying is a DS in a month or so.

let's just hope it doesn't suffer from brute force syndrome.

Good call. In all honesty, at this point thats the only next-gen console worth a damn.

 

[mookystains]

It looks pretty but the game seems fucking cheesy.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. I wonder how long before Nintendo goes the way of Sega.....

Sega isn't half of what they used to be now. It's sad. I can't remember the last time I got excited about a Sega release... seriously. I think it was honestly back in the Genesis days.

Mooky, you think this game looks cheesy? How so man. It looks badass to me. Looks like hardcore shooting fun.

DashK, you know, Brute Force is exactly what this game reminds me of. Maybe that's why I have such reservations....

 

[jp.]

Personally, if this game has better AI and some gameplay tweaks over Brute Force, and obliterates the "controlling multiple people" aspect, but is Brute Force at heart, I really don't see that as a bad thing.
