These characters look like shit, but the game actually seems to have some cool stuff going on. It ALWAYS BLOWS when a developer comes up with fresh gameplay, but whiffs it on universe-creation. Interesting fiction and great characters can elevate a good game into a great one (like Namco's last attempt at a big budget mainstream franchise game, Enslaved). But tossing a bunch of cliches, stereotypes and tropes together just yields....well, the next Fracture.

For a game that's been in development this long, it really shouldn't be good enough to just be "a decent rental". Here's hoping this game is better than those characters make it seem.

Two generic duders are driving a car. 2 seconds laters Two generic duders are amazed about gravity while I try to figure out why they're equipped with automatic rifles with large ass bayonetts attached to them.

Never heard of this, but it looks pretty cool. Reminds me of Super Mario Galaxy.

The idea looks neat but there have been plenty of shooters with neat ideas that just fumbled the gameplay: fracture, brink, singularity, etc. Hopefully this one will come through all the way but I'm not holding my breath.

The characters don't seem to be anything special, but the gameplay looks like it could be interesting if handled appropriately. I do hope, however, that there's more to the gampelay than "Lift objects" "throw objects" and "lift enemies out of cover".

HAHAHAHA....I, too, thought that same fucking thing, "Why the hell does that guy have an assault rifle with a glorified meat cleaver attached?" Hilariousness aside, I heard this game might be good enough to take a glance at. Would love to see some kind of review, all I need is one word.

Gameplay looks like it might be fun, but the characters and setting seem incredibly generic and uninteresting.

Hi there. I'm your main character. I'm just going to mention straight away that I have a daughter in the first scene in the hope this will provide enough emotional context to take you through all the action. So I have a daughter, which means I have a family you can tell I care about because I'm talking about them now, because I am a Good Dude. Everyone clear? Good.

Now please enjoy the following explosions-

I watched this immediately after the Watch Dogs demo. Compared to that game Immersion looks like some real launch title budget bin junk.

I get a real Dark Void vibe from this game. Interesting mechanics conceptually but how well will they be executed in the gameplay?

Wow the next Gears of War game has taken a bizarre turn. Looks like their engine got rolled back a few years...
