Poor voice acting on this trailer.

Still psyched for the actual game, though.

Apparently those tricks don't include facial expressions.  I wonder if I can tech up to Smirk?
Or should I focus on the eyebrow tree to get Raised Left?  So many choices...

@Branthog: just in case you missed the update, this is spy RPG not 3rd person action, therefore not Bourne Conspiracy, but Bourne Conspiracy meets Mass Effect which seems pretty fucking cool to me

I just love the concept behind this game and while the trailer is pretty mediocre, I'm still excited for this one. Any RPG that can escape the generic worlds of orcs and elves, space operas, or whatever the hell is going on in 90% of JRPGs, I'm game for. Deus Ex proved RPGs can work in other settings.

Guy falls  face-first and manages to hold onto the clip and hook it onto the rope with his bare hands!? What a load of bull.

I really want to like this game but some of the comic book character designs look really out of place, and the main character running around with 14 guns strapped to his body looks heavily retarded. I didn't like it in Mass Effect with the magical space guns that unfolded into a real gun and I like it even less here. I even prefer the standard "guns appear out of nowhere when I switch weapons" that most games use over some guy trying to sneak around, and he looks like a walking armory.

I didn't see Michael Thorton running around with 14 guns attached to him at any point in that trailer. For example, at both 0:48 and 1:14 he has no visible weapons attached to him.

@Nasar7: I dont think that him hooking onto the line being bull has nothing to do with anything, it is supposed to be over the top action.

@graf1k:
Well said.  I'm very curious to see what the gameplay will actually be like.  Others have pointed out some possible pitfalls: QTEs, scripting that is limiting and predictable, etc.  But there's certainly potential.

Hmmm, looks interesting but that main character seems a bit dull with the way he's talking.

It looks like Mass Effect but present-day, that's definitively not a bad thing, I think I'm going to enjoy this game.

I really dislike how generic the main character looks. Hope you can create your own character. Other then that, the game looks promising. Hope it can deliver. I like hope.

I will most likely be getting this day one. I've loved the idea of this game ever since I first read something about it. So hell yea, I definitely want to see more. I just hope that it doesn't have as many flaws as Obsidian's games tend to have. They're still great games most of the time, but if they get rid of the flaws that almost all of their games have in one way or another, then it'll be even better.

The Russian mafia sure is slow, they gave him a bunch of time to carefully plan out what he was going to do next.
