    If you treat this like an "Escape From Butcher Bay" type deal for a gritty, stylish cyberpunk movie that doesn't exist instead of a FPSiciation of a classic PC game, I think it seems like a much more awesome and cooler game.

    Starbreeze's strengths: Brutal, visceral first person single-player action experiences. EFBB and The Darkness were games I thoroughly enjoyed and this looks to be just as awesome. Those two words I emphasized seems like words everyone throws around these days but Starbreeze games are truly deserving of those descriptors.

    Something about this box art really sings to me. Almost seems like a cool movie poster.

    Something about the title logo screams 80's cyberpunk to me. Does anyone get what I'm feeling here? I swear I've seen something similar to that slightly italicized, all-caps font before.

    Thanks, you totally indirectly solved it. It reminded me of the Snatcher title.

    Modified Blade Runner font.   
    Probably a load of other movies as well.

    Doh, of course. I was only thinking in the realm of video games for some reason.

    Yes yes, it's practically the same as Blade Runner's.
