Was any of that actually gameplay footage? Either way 'Newspaper London' is a well respected publication so I know to take this game seriously already.

At least it's not another MP5/AK-47 or whatever. But yeah, very, very similar to the ripper.

If the real game is anything like this, I'll want it though. A non-silent protagonist talking to himself throughout the game to make sure all his thoughts end up on the video he's recording is kinda refreshing.

If the Wii U is capable of those kinds of graphics, I will be impressed. It'll be an interesting wait.
I think a filmed/fmv/cgi-hybrid trailer gives us absolutely no indication of what the Wii U will be capable of putting out.

Yet another trailer that gives us zero indication of how the game will play, what it will look like, and any hint at the story. This reminds me of why I hated trailers a couple of years ago when that's all we ever got. 
 
So far, I am NOT impressed with anything the Wii U has too offer other than itself. Get your act together Nintendo and get your "hardcore" hyped for what you bringing to the table. Let's not see another casual fiasco-fest.

Looks good, the only thing bothering me is seeing the points as "00000 $" when they're in London.

For some reason, I'm surprised that the URL "killerfreaks.com" hadn't already been claimed.

It is weird how Rabbid-like those things are.

But then, judging by the trailer's tone and the game's title, this game is meant to be far from serious.

Same people that did the Rabbids games originally. Like a weird Gremlin/Rabbids hybrid.

I love it! It's House of the Dead Overkill meets the Rabbids. Hopefully the gameplay will reflect the quality of the trailer.

Actually this, which clearly is a first person shooter, gives us far MORE indication of what the gameplay will be like than those assanine cutscene trailers for known games that have been being shown at E3. 
 
And CLEARLY this is a case of "we don't have anything completed on this game, so film a quick movie to have it up at E3".

Keep in mind folks, it sounds like Nintendo might not be fully done finalizing the tech specs for the Wii U. So showing footage of a final game would be pre-mature at this point, so everything they have shown playable has been hella prototyped.

If this turns out to be full FMV, it will be the greatest game ever made.

I - being English - would say underwear. 'Underpants' makes no sense as we don't refer to trousers as 'pants'.

It took an extra generation for the graphics to be up to snuff with the competition, but Nintendo now seems like a genuine player!

Really ? You're "English" and you'd say underwear. You must have missed the use of underpants in many "English" children's books and especially "English" comedy. Underpants is a very well used word said by "English" people.

I would have said boxers as the word pants connotes briefs to me as does underpants, which I don't wear.

Does anyone else get a little bit of a Raving Rabbids vibe from this?
