This GDC has been quite a bit difficult for us so far, with the camera troubles yesterday and now the hotel connection that refuses to upload anything reliably. Still, after a long night of trial and error Snoopers managed to uploading this nice gameplay sequence of Bionic Commando, looking good.
Update: The other video is up, and is actually much more interesting too.
Update: added 7 images

This environment looks like a monster movie look, Cloverfield, Godzilla..etc. When that building falls and the huge aftershake and smoke comes, wow.

I am gonna get this game, reminds me of Lost Planet.

For a game that's relatively early in development it's already looking pretty amazing. I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

The environments and grappling look great, but the combat looks really lame.

the first video is awe inspiring. But yeah this is the alpha version, the Kojima Production guy was talking about it on his podcast.

The visuals are absolutely goooorgeous.

Unfortunately, the gameplay doesn't look very good at all.

for alpha, it looks amazing. Gameplay does look a bit basic though.

I wonder if the building collapse/dust storm will be in the final game - bears a strange similarity to a horrific past event.

Looks pretty good in graphics, the things taken from Crackdown are really obvious though.

The city stage looks extremely linear.
