I'm no level designer, but sewers don't seem like the greatest place to show off your awesome free-running gameplay.

I agree! even though I don't like Mirror's Edge & don't want to see a sequel!

Mirror's Edge meets Dead Island? I like both so sounds good to me.

Luckily that wasn't gameplay then.

The use of "Good Night, Good luck" got me kind of interested. Pretty great phrase with some historical merit to it, and well used considering the gameplay concepts.

Just expressing my hopes that Techland doesn't fall into the same trap they did with the two Dead Island games.

Mirror's Edge with a melee focus maybe? That would be kinda cool.

This certainly has potential. I am just hoping that Techland takes the extra time to polish this one. I had a great time with Dead Island, but it was really rough around the edges.

Christ, enough with the goddam zombies already. I know it's a great excuse for crap AI and helps keep those budgets down, but jesus people.

Will the female zombies present themselves to me after I bash their skulls in? Also, will the game invoke none of the feelings present in the trailer?

Do sewers really have ladders hanging over bottomless pits? That is horrifying.

Hmmmm interesting. I hope it's a combination of Mirror's Edge and L4D! I can't wait to hear more details on the gameplay.

Dammit techland, your games either have fucked up trailer endings that stick with you to some extent... or your games are fucked. But this looks interesting if they go where i think they'll go with it, very, interesting.

Holy hell! The people behind these trailers sure know how to cram a whole fuckton of despair into a couple of minutes.
