Another awful trailer. They really aren't selling me on this game.

This game has tons of potential. Hoping for a Quick Look (and maybe even a TNT next week?) before I buy.

I preordered it a few weeks ago... hopefully it'll actually come out next Tuesday instead of another last second delay.

I hear the best killstreak is the one that unleashes a pack of little rabid forklifts that run around and lift everybody.

I thought the last trailer was garbage but this one was pretty good.

Was pretty interested in this game when it was announced, then whenever it would pop up after a while I still felt like it has promise but now that it's been delayed and almost available I'm kinda shocked that it STILL just looks like a cool Left 4 Dead Mod. I still think it has a great premise but it just looks clumsy and cheap. Would have perhaps liked to have seen another developer work on it like Valve on Portal.

Looks ok, definitely not as good as something like Gears or Battlefield or Uncharted though

Yeah, I have not understood the hype on this, since the beginning. The first time I saw anything of it, I thought "this looks like a cheap, shoddy, uninteresting piece of shit". Another of those "me too!" games that you don't understand why anyone would invest in.

Speaking as someone who's kinda interested in this game, it's a simple formula.:

I saw Heat once. I loved it.

I saw Heat another dozen or so times. Still love it.

I want to play a game that lets me do what they do in Heat, either as a cop or a member of DeNiro's crew.

Hence, I'm hoping this delivers on that.

I'm usually not one for single word comments but all I could think of while watching that was "meh".

Hoping it turns out well. There really needs to be a good heist game. And since it doesn't seem like Introversion's next heist game will come out any time soon, this will have to do.

@spilledmilkfactory: It doesn't have the budget of those games, nor cost as much, either.

Being in third-person doesn't make a game any more tactical.

I really want Overkill Software to do well with this game. Based on the trailer this seems just so generic.

@Thuggish: True, but I dunno if I could justify paying 15-20 bucks for this when I know I'm just going to drop it for one of those games in a week anyway

@Spoonman671: Sorry didn't mean that, the / was to mean either, or. Just think a third person heist game would fit better than a first person shooter.

Guys nobody tell the media about this game.

Actually you know what I'm sure they won't overreact to a game that is 90% shotgunning SWAT cops.

You know what I'm hoping this game turns out to be? either a co-op or competitive team based planning fps. A massive map filled with a crazy amount of options for taking out one of those trucks and other modes for attacking buildings...

What I realistically expect? Nothing special co-op shooter that's only tactical element ends up being. "Yo dawg put the charges here and hit the button!"

Alright, but if it comes between you and some guy, whose wife you're about to make a widow, then brother you are going down.

Wow, they need to hire some better trailer makers because every trailer for this game has sucked and made the game looked pretty much terrible. I love the concept but will need to see a QL or something before I'll be sold. It just looks like a 360 launch title or something (and not a good one).

This game has promise and may seem on the lack luster side but it looks to be just simple fun with some buddies. Also buying all the PlayStation play games give me this game free so i will give it a go.

I continue to stand by the idea that this just looks like a first-person, kind of dolled up version of K&L multiplayer sans the traitor mechanic. These trailers make it look like it's just super scripted, hyper focused scenarios of "Get in, get the valuable object, fight through hell to get out."

I even enjoyed K&L online to some extent, but this just looks so... unappealing. I was going to say boring, but truthfully, that was a lotttt of cops.

Am I the only one who thought it was weird when he got out of the helicopter at the beginning that he had to drop to his feet and hands to catch himself?

It was only like a 3 foot drop.
