Really good quicklook, wasn't that interested in a console RTS after trying halo wars, but the controls look like they could work very well after some practise.

Hm its out next week and this is the first ive heard of it since the announcement trailer... Sega need to advertise non-sonic games more.

The colour palette used for the environment is very stark and limited, a huge contrast to the vibrant art style in Red Alert 3.

Reminded me a bit of Full Spectrum Warrior, i think just because of those glowing marks on the ground, but with all the RTS stuff and less tactical.

Well I saw some videos of this game on XBLa couple months ago and thought it looked god awful, but now it looks like it came a long way.  I wasn't expecting anything new or unique at all from the videos and the graphics look much better now too.  I might check this one out if I hear the controlls aren't that rough.

It looks very bleak and unimpressive, but the controls actually look somewhat decent.

What did I just watch?
I feel tired and dizzy like I've just read Cal Chapter 4.

On another note, WHY ARE THE MARINE UNITS WALKING 1 FOOT ABOVE GROUND LEVEL AS IF THEY ARE FLOATING?

The game looks really awesome and the controls look very intuitive, if a bit difficult to get a grasp on, but it looks really rough in a few ways, especially pathfinding. I like the idea of it not being SELECT ALL, ATTACK. The whole thing with it being more about squad by squad is a lot better in my opinion. This doesn't seem like the best quick look game, it would be much better if someone who had more time with it could show it off.

I really like how interactive the environment is with strategic positioning, like letting the sniper team run up the side of rubble onto a roof to take a position. Good quick look, although i would have liked to have seen some more vertical gameplay.

Here was me hoping you guys named the game Whip Select again...And then you do it in the first 10 seconds!

I love you guys!

This looked terrible compared to what i saw at E3...is this an early build in the "office"?

Don't look so great.
I saw a couple of glitchy moments, doesn't look all too polished for a game that's coming out pretty soon.

Time to stop debating the phrasing of rock, paper, scissors & just use the following (which I take no claim in creating):
Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock

Enjoy:)
