The ending of this trailer is really similar to the BBC series Planet Earth.

looks cool but suffers the same problem as many sci-fi games, the fact that is no noise in space.

Well, here is what a renowned german website has to say about this. 1920x1200 is a pretty high resolution for a benchmark though.

WTF! None of this makes sense but it sure looks good (graphically). An original concept, if anything.

In another setting.  
 
With nods to realism. 
 
Plus, shooting dudes in contemporary space suits in outer space..it came to this? Kinda goes back to the first complaint.

I have not really been paying much attention to this game, but I do like the looks of it from this trailer. However, it seems like it has a lot of potential to go wrong. I wonder if Steam has a demo of it...

Bullets can't fire in space. The combustion of the powder requires oxygen. It looks stupid. You can't hear sound in space. This game would make many people puke. Spacewalking is dangerous enough without combat. There are so many things wrong with this game. What were they thinking?

It looks fun, but it looks very demanding in terms of requirements. Also looks like it could cause some motion sickness

"Wait, wouldn't one bullet be enough to puncture the suit and cause them to die anyway? Not that it really matters, but I wonder if they try to actually explain that away. "
 
You wouldn't hear the sound of bullets flying either and the firing of bullets. Also  when not tethered to something you could brace against or some kind of jet pack thrust tuned to counter act the recoil it would cause you to go flying with the same amount of force as the bullet but in the opposite direction (I mean you wouldn't go really fast but you wouldn't be moving forward as they show them) It shows them pushing off debris so this could be part of it but still realistically speaking they would recieve force in the opposite direction causing them to become just floating in space due to balancing out the force or to be pushed in the opposite direction. 
 
So realism isn't exactly what this game seems about.

I thought they were working on an Ender's game.  (Not this one of course)  Now I hope they can pull that off.   
 
As for this game it looks interesting but I have a feeling controls are going to be bad and hence not fun. :(

Win. 
 
Looks great, sad to hear it doesn't play great. I think I still may bite with the low price on steam.

Well, the Beta-Testers say that it runs even worse than Crysis with everything cranked up, so don't get your hopes up if your machine isn't reasonably beefed up. It is a playable graphics presentation after all.
I was in the beta and it definitely ran perfectly smooth on my PC, but I chop up sometimes in Crysis.
 
The problem is Shattered Horizon isn't a good game.

@DrRandle:@INCSlayer: 
 
I saw a gameplay clip about two weeks ago. There was very little sound. just a hum of vibration everytime you used your pack or shot your gun. It was an awesome effect actually. They also mentioned that if you bayonet someone, it's a one shot kill due to the pressurization. Can't say where I heard that, some thread on here. Wonder why bullets don't work the same way?
