This looks intense, but maybe a better concept for a movie? I guess we will find out.

I wonder if you'll actually be able to come up with those solutions on your own, or if it's just "Press X to Tape Grenade to Mouth", "Press Y to Try to Escape".  The former would be pretty awesome.

Those aren't moral choices, they're fork-in-the-road choices for how to complete a mission.  It was pretty obvious.

I'm so excited by this game.  Obsidian has a perfect record in my book.  Every game they have made was (IMO) awesome.

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

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.

That was a nice teaser, but I've never seen a more generic looking character in my life...

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.

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

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

@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.

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.

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.

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.

Interesting concept, might be badass. But the facial animation is just ... off.
