This looks like so much fun. I'm not sure how I feel about the dynamic split screen, lucky its optional...

Looks like fun arcady action with some persistence. I'm in the mood for that, I'll get it on steam when it drops.

This game reminds me of nuclear strike. Edit: and brad just said that.

Yeah, there's a great Soviet/Nuclear Strike to this, but SWIV and Return Fire were closer I think, as those also had the tranformation between different vehicle types.

An open world dual-joystick shooter doesn't really grab me. Looks nice, though; it's incredible to see where XBLA has gone since its inception.

I love how as soon as the Bomb Squad assembled halfway through the quick look, shit hit the fan.

I don't know why this is so hyped. I mean, sure it looks fun. But it also looks like a bunch of other twin stick shooters. It's not particularly bright-looking, and there aren't many flashy elements (the explosions don't even look particularly amazing). Everything's solid, it seems, and the gameplay is very refined (like when they do the slow-mo effect, or the dynamic split). If you're gonna play a twin stick shooter, I'd imagine Renegade Ops is the top of the list. But it's hardly a revelation.

Oh, but watching Brad talk AND play well at the same time was nice;) Good job Shoemaker!

I want the main villain to say, " Something, something, something dark side. Something, something complete."

Kinda surprised they specifically mention the dynamic split-screen as a feature. Hell, ToeJam & Earl had it, and that came out twenty years ago!

I gotta admit it, with such a generic-ass storyline and being announced as a top-down vehicular downloadable game, I thought this game could never be anything more than hot garbage delaying the release of Just Cause 3. But This looks absolutely fantastic, Avalanche did a really great job with it. I'm sorry I doubted them. 
 
Couple things about this video seem odd to me, though, first being that both of the playable guys' special abilities are useless and second being that Drew was playing on Vinny's XBL account. Stuck me as very odd.

A bit of frame-rate drop when the screen splits, but looks good none-the-less.

@Cold_Wolven: It runs on the Avalanche Engine 2.0, the same engine as Just Cause 2.
