Nearly day-one for me, but I appreciate good trailers. This wasn't one.

Looooks, still interesting, although no trailer music will eclipse an Alice In Chains song.

When I saw "Dubai" I expected this trailer to have dubstep.

Now I'm gonna go search for some Dubai dubstep.

Sorry Spec Ops, but Binary Domain is going to be the "might be mediocre" third person shooter that I'm going to risk 60 bucks on. I'll get you later when you're on sale.

Game still looks like it could be cool though. It could be the Dead Space of military shooters, that is, derivative but executes everything well.

The original gameplay trailer they showed a couple years ago looked awesome. The guns looked and sounded punchy, and the movement and detail was high. Frustrated to see they took out the detail in everything and made the guns sound like shit. 
 
Pass.

Yikes! I just got excited for this, looks like Nolan North's deepest role yet, really breaking away from the campy lines. Tougher than Drake but darker than Desmond. I'm in, feet first and I'll enjoy every minute of it....

Seems conceptually interesting although I'm still not sold on the look of the gameplay yet. It reminds me a lot of Army of Two -- functional, but completely generic

Didn't Kasavin work on this in its early development?

Funny how Alex's preview was all about how they're trying to make this game the opposite of this.

Then marketing's like "Moral choices? Nah bro, check out these guns and sweet rip-off of the Halo theme

fuck yeeeeeah

The suspence is killing me you guys! Will there be generic, on rails, helicopter turrent sequences? Will the assault rifle really have no recoil, essentially making it look and feel like you're shooting a Super Soaker? Will replacing red, exploding barrels with sand falling on enemies from skylights really be the next-gen, groundbreaking new gameplay mechanic we've been wating for?

Looks okay to me. At the very least it's on my radar now, that's for sure.

Just looks like a barely updated Kill.Switch with some crap on-rails sequences.

Bad, nondescript title. Even if it's good it's going to be lost among a bunch of other me-too generic military games. I dig the concept, though.

Sand tech seems to be the new thing in games. Uncharted, Journey and now this, it's certainly an interesting new direction for the industry to be taking.

I'm not a graphics whore, but man if this's what they can do with current gen consoles that're 6 years old I can't wait to see what they do with the next generation.

Killzone meets Uncharted? Not a bad combo for multiplatformers.

I only ever played the weird PC ports that required 3dfx cards but didn't work well with keyboard and mouse. They looked pretty good for their time, especially the lightning (the environments weren't very complex though), and had a pretty good atmosphere over all, but I could never finish or even get very far into them because of the weird controls. This game looks really promising imho, even though I am not a fan of the 3rd person perspective, but as the original games were third person shooters too, I suppose it would be odd to call it Spec Ops otherwise.
