Why is it wasteland bandits love to build subterranean lairs so much? Ah whatever, just shoot them in the face.

I love it when they just release gameplay footage rather than highly edited trailers, I think it looks awesome^^
to be honest, I went from an interest level 3 to 7

Strangely, HL2 AI has yet to be one-upped.

Big few months for franchises I haven't played with Alice, Infamous and this, looks like I'll be passing on alot of AAA titles like Gears, L.A Noire and Uncharted purely because they're sequels to games I already own more or less.

@gorkamorkaorka: What about the spider drone climbing over boxs and jumping on bandits?What about the bandits kicking the turret?Or the guys that get shot and scuffle around trying to get up or crawl away?Pretty cool AI I say.

Carmack knows his stuff. To me id has always been about the tech. This game will be hitting 60 FPS while rendering massive draw distances. Can't wait to see Virtual Texturing for myself.

I liked this video much more then the last one. The vehicle stuff seems really well put together from the little we saw, and the combat just looks like a lot of fun. I am looking forward to seeing more.

I don't care about anything else other than that guy that got sniped, his friend reacted when died and an injured person ran away injured. Finally. Finally I saw those two things happen in the same game.

People have been complaining that this is a faux open world, that it's just a linear shooter with a hub world. I say fuck that - I"m perfectly ready for a well-polished linear shooter, one that's coming from id at that.

Absofuckinglutely. The thing that jumped out at me day one was how realistic the people looked, or at least how natural they looked, which I attribute to both the models and the animation.

PS Damn that reticule is small - any other game, that P90-esque gun's cross hairs would have covered half the screen.

I'm glad to see that the whole game isn't just back-peddling, which I was afraid of.  I'm definitely more interested in this now.

FPS + close quarters, requires targets to die easily or else you be constantly back paddeling/sidestepping and hitting walls and objects around you.

I was sooo excited when this was announced almost 4 years ago.   Now, it just looks extremely average, and the graphics don't even wow me like they did then.      The shooting looks subpar, the variety of weapons is EXTREMELY weak,   and the a.i.  didn't do anything but the typical ID "duck behind box, pop up and shoot" stuff that was in Doom 3,  7 years ago.     We're supposed to get excited about remote control cars and a boomerang?       If this game fails commercially I think ID (and the future of Doom 4)  is in a LOT of trouble.

The heavy black lines make it look a little bit too much like Borderlands for my tastes. I'm still quite interested in this game, but I liked it's look better before they tried to make it more comic-book-like.

Between this and Duke Nukem there's a big rise in older styled FPS games. Of course...this has controllable robots.

Animations are great and most of the texture work was good but some of the backgrounds (mostly at the beginning) SUCKED. Since it's using Steamworks (isn't it?) I really, really hope that they put out additional textures resolutions of textures in a patch, considering the file can be any size.

Can anyone who says this has great AI give me examples out of this trailer why they'd think that? Are you referring to the guy knocking over the turret, because I didn't notice anything special.

Might have something to do with the fact that the machine gun looks like the hack-dart gun from Bioshock.

Looks like the game has some fantastic AI and programming, unsurprisingly due to a certain rocket scientist! I think at the very veryyyy least, this will be a solid game with reviews of 8/10. I'd expect 9's even. Really looking forward to it.
