    I think Giantbomb is the best site ever to edit their videos. They're always so goddamn witty.

    I'll keep my eye on this one. Some of the movement looks a bit clunky but the action looks pretty cool. But they basically describe it as Rainbow Six: Dubai so that raises my interest.

    if the frame rate is increased and the game is polished a bit more, this could be something special...

    Looking to be a really interesting game.  When I saw the VGA reveal trailer I was really impressed with the realistic yet late 90s-Marvel comic book art style and animation which really is superlative.  The sand particle system and the way it's animated looks great and I feel that it adds a lot of atmosphere and scope to the experience, almost as if the sand and desolation are a characters themselves.  The gameplay does look a little derivative and the AI managed teammates don't impress me that much but I certainly can see the benefits of both aspects.  Can't wait to see how this will look and play on PC.

    You know what? Of all narratives to rip off, "Heart of Darkness"'s ain't a bad one to choose. Could be good. Or insulting to the memory of Joseph Conrad. Either one.

    Yeah, definitely agree that this sounds like Apocalypse Now:The Game (but in Dubai!). Not that that's a bad thing. And dude, Colonel Conrad? That's a pretty direct connection right there.

    Game (singleplayer part) seems to look really good, so it was a surprise when he said the release date is about a year away. Why so long?

    I really like what I see about this game.  If the game manages to follow through in keeping to the vision that people like Greg Kasavin have for it then I may actually buy it.

    Story sounds good but game itself seems like a generic TPS. Looks like someone saw how popular MW2 is and thought "Lets make a third person shooter like this", which is not really a bad thing either. 
     
    Interesting.

    Okay, I'm genuinely interested in this game. It seems like it's a somewhat linear singleplayer game, but the level of detail and interactivity with the world looks astounding. 
     
    I couldn't care less about the multiplayer though. The resurrected franchise modern military shooter that has multiplayer I'm looking forward to is that of the new Medal of Honor, by DICE.
