This game doesn't look interesting at all. All they show is a guy shooting dudes. I've seen that so many times. I need something more if they want me to buy this.

On a side note from the title: I hate the art style in this, and the game looks really boring.

Did anyone at the developer or publisher see this video and think it would be a good idea to show it to the public. This has to be one of the most boring trailers I've ever seen for a game. I felt indifferent towards this game before, but after watching the trailer I actively dislike it now.

 It looks like a 3rd person Shadow Complex. Wasn't it something about the developers using the Fable II engine?

I don't know, somehow the sleazy wonkiness of They've two Rides appeals to me. I will probably buy this when it hits $15.

Looks pretty brutal. Still, I'm more into story; if there's no development, there's no me playing it.

Where are the takedowns? Takedowns are what made Dead to rights unique.  Now it looks like Gears of War with Mass Effect weapons.  Yeah, I now it was one of the first games to use cover extensively, but it looks like they're doing nothing new with it now.  The second I saw a turret, I gave up hope.

I kind of like the art style. It's more the colour pallet that irks me. Aside from that the game does look very bad.

The graphics look kind of choppy. I like some of the sound fx.

@Branthog: Well, if you have spent several years of your life trying to make a game that looks like Gears Of War, the least you can expect is someone noticing that you've been trying to make a game that looks like Gears Of War. The cynicism, sarcasm, criticism and judgements will inevitably follow. So, don't feel guilty about your initial response to the game. It's perfectly justified.

@IgneusMaeror:
I feel compelled to agree with you both, I kinda feel bad about putting someone's hard (I guess) work over the past few years down by just blurting out "fail", or something on an internet forum... But, on the same hand, when you were at school- and you put in lots of time on a clear D- project, did your teacher ever go: well you did spend a lot of time on this, so you'll get a B for even trying... And when I look at this game I wonder if they even tried?? The person who designed the weapons has clearly never held a weapon in their life. I know it's sci-fi, but still...
 
Games that look a lot better than this have resulted in me feeling indifferent towards them.
 
I don't know where I'm going here, I'll just stop now. The game is doomed.

@Branthog: 
Well, I kind of suspect that the people behind this game (read investors) somehow started out with the intention of tapping into the huge market of "people who loved GoW", and just didn't have what it takes to assemble a game that plays good enough, has a compelling story and has some of that x-factor a game needs to become interesting...
 
It doesn't matter how much time you put into creating textures and animations for a game which just isn't good when it comes down to it...
 
And I have played so many games over the years that I don't need much more than two minutes of footage to totally dismiss/love a concept.

Dead to rights was a niche game in it`s time. i own a copy, never have played it, and should have. But from what I remember reading about the game(s) years ago, this doesn`t look like it. This looks like other game`s borrowed elements. Somebody mentioned Max payne as the influence (rip) for the early DTR.. but thought I even saw that here, was the only thing about the trailer I liked. And Doggie going to catch a bullet, running out there like that someday.

@Branthog:  @maladjusted: As long as someone is trying something relatively fresh I can respect the approach. That doesn't mean I'm gonna spend my money on their products, or even give them the praise they probably deserve for the risk. But I certainly wouldn't bash a game that failed at doing something that hasn't been done. 
This game, on the other hand, appears to be somewhat successful at doing things that have been/are being done over and over by people with bigger budgets and stronger licenses. So not only does this not compete, but it puts itself squarely in the "meh" bin from the start. The "original" D2R was just as derivative, and here's its derivative sequel. ANY reaction is a good one at this point.

I don't make it a habit to mock people or things on message boards, but my first reaction to this was absolutely negative. They showed us a  highlight reel of things that make this game NOT stand out. How else are we supposed to react? 
It's either mock or completely ignore. And here we are on a website about video games, so ...
