looks very good graphically, if not a little bland with fairly dull environments, but i guess this doesnt really show much yet. Is this a third person shooter?

I cant say much. The Video is soo short and there is no sound. It's not even a 1MB trailer.

Why does this game look so finished, even though it's still in development? This is proof that some of the developers take their games seriously while others hope to make a quick dollar by releasing crap to some irresponsible buyer. You don't have to be the most reknown developer to make a potential triple A title.

Yes by seeing a few screenshots of a game and watching a 10 second trailer you can tell if a game is finished or not.

Well somebody's been watching 24.;) Scenes are probably pre-rendered.

It isn't actually....It's usually the other way around (titles for both PS3 and X360 appear as X360 exclusives) so it's odd to see this mistake.

Anyway comments on this game: Too many clones in one screen!!
What is this TWIN TOWN??

Or maybe it's related to the story...They really should give us some idea on gameplay and more on the story.

I never said it was PS3 or even X360 exclusive, where did you see that?
This game is to be released on both game consoles, so there will be no jalous ;)
And about the clone aspect, I personnally think of it as a way to reduce the memory comsuption on the hardware, look at the number of objects in the scene, if it was to run on a PC, then at least 1 Go of RAM + 256 MB of DRAM would be necessary to render at this 720p resolution.

It is not a trailer, it is only a glimpse at the game visuals in movement ;)

Well, I like the idea of the game a lot. Kind of Clancy-esque. And looks beautiful. Hope it turns out good.

The choice of the president getting assassinated, or becoming a giant on-the-run mech, destroying everything in his path... Hmm. I choose the latter:

Seriously though looks good. Animation looks a bit stiff but otherwise.

That was put so nicely.

I like the promo pictures, but I don't see anything outstanding in the 3 seconds that really showed the game.

Looks huge and open ended.

Story sounds good, if the game can nail the tense and chase feel..i'm sold

Dear 'altares', with this news not being published on the Xboxyde, one might get the idea that this is PS3 exclusive.
A bit late and pointless reply but incase you read it you see how that assumption can be made.

He said it 'looks' finished. As in, these screens and the short movie could pass for being from the finished, released game.

I think it looks good. Its the most believeable non-real DC i've seen. The lighting and shadowing is very good. But the draw distance does seem fairly short in places. Only 500 metres or so in pic 5 before it blurs out into a background texture.
