If this game is what I think it is, the approach they're taking is more unique than people think.

@Nomin: Except the part where you can see the tone and story they are going for... 
 
That and it looks generic as hell, this game needs no defending it's going to blow. They shouldn't have released such a shitty trailer and considering that it's SEGA they are probably serious...

The ending of the trailer certainly doesn't forgive it for the rest of its faults.

OK, as soon as he said, "Let the good times roll", I was ready to blow this off as stupid, but I like the twist at the end. If there's some real moral ambiguity vis a vis which side is good, I can get behind this. 
 
I also like that giant robot's design. But then, who doesn't like giant robots?

Wake up, fool! 
 
Okay, so the English dialogue was atrocious.  The subtitled Japanese was stilted.  The CGI was different, at least.   
 
Honestly, the last 10 seconds would have been a better trailer by itself, albeit a bit Deus Ex-y.

It sure sounded like when he said "watch" he meant "break yo self". The graphics are terrible for CGI, the dialogue is painfully generic, and the combat looks same ol' same ol'. That hook at the end makes me want to know more though geez. Oh and as usual all the people in the game look like the designers spent 3 minutes building them and the enemies look sweet.

Giving an opinion on the gameplay or really, the final merit of a game simply based on a pre-rendered CG trailer is ridiculous and absurd.

Looks ok, but Japanese game writers really have got to stop looking at 80's action movies for dialogue for American characters.

I don't think this game looks very good visually speaking at all.  The robots look really boring and everything just looks kinda bad.  The game itself may turn out to be good, and if it is I'll pick it up, but this trailer is turning me off a bit already.

This looks crazy.
 So it's basically Terminator, after skynet has created paradise. And you play cliche'd badasses/terrorists?
 
What're the odds that at least 1 of those 3 ends up being a robot...

This looks like the kind of game they'd make up in a movie because they can't legally use a real game.

This looks downright horrible. The vo is bad and the script is even worse. The atory looks somewhat interresting but thats because I love Sci-Fi and the designe is also really really bad.

The voice acting there was pretty bad in my opinion. Sounded way too forced. And... how did she have a baby if she has no vagoo?

So do you play as the americans "saving" japan from robots or do you play as the now largely robotic/cybernetic nation of japan defending their home from invading americans? Dun dun dunnnn!

So, Gears of War, Blade Runner and Coach from L4D2 go into a bar...

where they all get violated by a japanese tentacle mo- i mean, developer with horrible facial animation, painfully stupid dialog and cheap C-movie action sequences.

The punchline is the price of the game.
