I wont buy it just because they changed the story/game direction. I loved the futuristic game they showed on a trailer in X06. This game turned out to be something completely different.

Gives me more of a RE4 feel than GoW if you ask me.
Definitely, but I still think it looked better as a Splinter Cell in space type game. Still though the action looks relatively solid but it looks like it'll get boring after a little while.
Maybe all of the fans will convince them to remake the space stealth game.
I thought that fit so perfectly..... there's nothing like it aside from Starcraft: Ghost (which is in limbo).
At some points throughout that vid, there is sometimes an aiming reticle, and other times there is not. Sometimes there is massive amounts of motion blur on the character (when moving sideways), other times there is not. If you ask me, this montage is made up different builds of the game, with varying levels of completeness throughout. I'll reserve judgment until some of the top chaps on this site do the first 10 minutes :)
WTF's up with all the hate for this game? I've been watching the title ever since it was 1st shown, and I really think this is an improvement. The art-direction looks fine. Graphically it's around the level of Gears of War, maybe even a bit better. And the glaive mechanics and shooting mechanics look pretty good as well. I honestly do not see what's wrong.
Those hating on the game are prolly just pissed it has a few similarities with Gears of War, or that the direction of the game was changed, or both. Ever since the dual-wielding was implemented previews have pretty much only been praising the title. There's no mention of quircky animation or bad AI.

Gears copied Kill.Switch but I didn't see any hate going torwards that.
Gears copied the over the shoulder from RE4, and yet, no hate, not as much as Dark Sector.

I can say this, I really do miss the sci-fi aspect of the game when it was first shown, but I don't see any problem with this one neither.
There is more sci-fi games coming out each year than more games like RE4.
I do agree the AI isn't smart, but that is where the online feature comes in.
The devs did say that the online feature will be like SP but instead of going againstt he AI you are against real people.
I for one have waited too long for this game to come out, so I cant wait to buy this game.
They even said a pre-release demo on PSN and XBL, so I hope they hurry up.
Even with a demo coming out, they will hate it, I am sure of it...unless the demo is the latest built of the game of course.
looks like resi 4 both artistically, animation wise, context sensative action wise etc etc etc, but at least this is a action game that doesnt shit on a cool franchises name like resi 4 did with the resident evil franchise. i mean, from survival horror to genric action game, w00t for resident evil 4...not.
and then it uses a cover system which people seem to think gears of war invented?!?
overall its different enough to be interesting...but not enough to be considered anything more imo. definately on the fense about it. if i can get past the clunkly looking controls (which plagues resi 4 also) then im sure i'll have fun playing it. but unless it gets some top class reviews, i'll probably give it a miss.

I feel exactly the same about RE4.
Sadly it looks like RE5 will be heading done that same path though :(
This only looks like Gears of War in it's artstyle approach, and even then it's quite a bit different.
So it has cover, is that it? If anything this is a Res4 clone. The character moves like Leon, holds the pistol like leon, the camera is exactly like Res4, it will have bosses, etc
It's more of a Res4 clone than Gears, and it looks pretty fun actually, because it adds walking while shooting, the blade, and the cover to the Res4 formula.
If the story is good, i'm there. I only have one problem, i don't understand certain artists abilities to create main characters, the main character here has stupid looking hair, and a kid looking face. I don't understand.
In my head I hear an old 1920's movie director voice saying "Look see, you wanna make some clams, you gotta make some sacrifice. We scrap the old horsehockey, clone GoW and a slap some paint on it. We need a gimmick see, GoW had a chainsaw, we need something that'll knock the socks off... (in comes goon carrying the god damn boomerang from the movie Krull) game dev says "I dunno", director doesn't hear him and shouts "and for Christ's sake we need some skin! Get me some girlies or you all are on the first train outta this town!" Director motions to assistant to get him a drink "and don't forget a few drops of the good stuff"
Ummm, yeah. I bet the "re-imagining" went a little something like that.
Many people loved the sci-fi stealth suit, well its no longer a suit, its his body :P
And notice around the end...you can pilot that mech, reminds me of Lost Planet.
It also shows you get to kill some futuristic sci-fi armored type soldiers.

Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (> 3 Months ago)
