Hmm, not really any need for new shooters... but damn did that look interesting; take a little TF2 mix in some Borderlands and top it all of with some Incredibles, if the part where it's a game is good too it could be pretty cool.

Same here. Light-hearted action romp in a slightly retro future, rolling with your crime-fighting crew.

Wait a minute... "breaking protocol", running around while invisible and killing everyone: was that a swipe at Alpha Protocol?

The whole thing is rife with references to other IPs.  The Incredibles Goo, the costume from No One Lives Forever, the Terminator skull on the robot...  It's hard to know if they're actually nodding to those things or just cherry picking some ideas for a neat little world.
 
Edit:  Also notice that most of their main weapons are designed non-lethal?

Seeing as how we got zero gameplay footage, who the hell knows?

Glad to know that Steve Blum still gets work.  Also, the game may turn out pretty nicely.

Isn't that the heavy goo from the Incredibles?

Awesome trailer. Well cut, well animated and well voiced.

I'd take that as a film over a game tbh. The characters look fantastic.

This game is like the Incredibles if it had been about Secret Agents instead of Superheroes.

This seems freaking awesome. Yeah, it's another shooter. But the premise is intriguing, and we could use some more light hearted games every now and then.
