I'm somewhat perplexed by this game . Its was announced a couple of months ago they just started showing gameplay and now its coming out in about 2 weeks . Sounds to me like its either going to be bad or be delayed .

I think it'll be released on time but I'm somewhat skeptical of this one too. Especially when I read something about them making up their own FPS controls. I'll wait and see how the controls and game turn out before judgment but if it ain't broken don't fix it in my book. I wouldn't be shocked at a 2 or 3 out of 5 review tho.

I think it looks fun. It's made by the guys that did Black, and it looks a lot like Black, so that is good.

naaw, to many other games i would buy, before i would buy this..

The demo was awful. When I wanted to aim with the left trigger I couldn't move and shoot. It forced me to stand still and aim from a cover position. The shooting was poor and their attempt at a skill shot system is laughable compared to Bulletstorm.

I played the demo ... I would not recommend the experience.  
On a fundamental level, the game is far to clunky and slow to take advantage of or have any real fun with the skillshot-type system they've put into it.

@Yanngc33: That... is completely ridiculous. So basically the game was abandoned but still had to be released in some form or another.

That demo is atrocious 
 
Abort! abort!

Poor mans BulletStorm.

I don't know. It does kind of look... mediocre. The bigger problem is that they didn't make Black 2, and yet again, there's another spiritual successor. Hopefully it's not what Kane & Lynch was to Freedom Fighters.

@left4doof: The game was announced over a year ago. They lost their lead producer (Stuart Black) and they changed the entire art style. They rebooted the game roughly 6 months ago which is why you haven't seen anything about it 

Just tried the demo, and I honestly want to go back to Duke Nukem and apologize for being so critical. I don't even know where to begin - 10 minutes of this game left my head spinning. 
 
Terrible control decisions, janky movement and animations, endlessly spawning AI that either hits you with pinpoint accuracy from far away or just runs around in circles not seeing you standing next to them, and no story - I'm not sure it's possible for a voiceover to be more generic (or sound more bored while talking to you.) I want to see a GB review just so they can experience this game in full.

I want to say this game has been kicking around for a lot longer than 2 months... I seem to remember seeing some generic-ass looking gameplay demos from this game at least as far back as last E3, if not longer.

You have to do a "half-press" of the LT to be able to aim and move at the same time.  If you press the LT all the way in you go into a sort of cover mode where you can use the left analog stick to lean left/right, duck behind cover, etc.   Don't get me wrong....I thought it was a horrible way of doing it.  I just wanted to point out that you can move and aim at the same time.

Are you saying it's like Resident Evil 4 and 5, where you can't shoot and move at the same time?

My bad;).

I just played the demo... This game is bad. 

The demo was just OK. 
 
They tried to do two things differently:  the leaning controls and the look of ADS (aiming down sights).  Neither of these things feels well executed at all.

Why am I not surprised?

I played a little earlier at a friends house and i dug it, i won't go out and spend $65 on it and it's not a 8/10,9/10 etc. game but honestly i enjoyed it more than most "generic" shooters out there, i dig the old school arcade shooter field where you don't rely on stupid perks or any of that, none of that iron sight stuff it's just straight up raise hell and blow shit up, i think that is fun.

I will defiantly pick this up, but most likely in a week when it goes on sell for 29.99 because it isn't going to sell more than a handful of copies, im sure BB/Amazon will have it for $30 before the end of september.

It's the worst demo that I've played in recent memory, I sometimes wonder what the mentality behind releasing a demo of an obviously poor game is. Surely you should try and keep its badness a secret until people have spent their money?

Yo dude it fucking sucks. Played the demo and it was garbage.

Don't you guys miss this?

I want to know where the hell the Quick Look disappeared to. It was scheduled for today, now I am sad.

I've been sitting around waiting for the Quick Look, too. It was scheduled on the front page right up until it was supposed to be up, and then... nothing. I already know what my impression is from the demo (*horrrk*) but I was curious to see the GB crew at the reigns.

I played the game in work and I honestly found it quite enjoyable. Sure the controls were annoying more often than not but I did enjoy the hour I spent with it. There's no way I'd ever pay £40 for it but for £15-£20 I'd probably pick it up
