Apologies to blind fanboyism in advance, but this is either a) way too early to be showing this game or b) the most laughable "game" ever made. There is an embarassing amount of HL2 content in there. Then just for fun, gameplay was neglected almost entirely. You shoot at this guy, then you shoot at this guy, and then you blow this guy up with exploding barrels that have wrapped so far past cliche they're actually new again. This video has made me livid. FUCK!!!!!

Game looks like a lot of fun! Definitely gettin' this on steam when it's released. <3 interactivity

Some suggestions on how it could be a little more unique and improved though, in my opinion:

-Movement shouldn't be that slow for an ass-kicking cop like Blade.
-Guns need a more powerful sound, it makes a huge difference. Seriously.
-Wish the skymaps didn't look so colorful, it would be a lot more unique and improved if they didn't look like they were pulled right out of HL2. Something a little more simple, not bright and pretty?

I can imagine the game feeling a lot less like HL2 if these things were changed. Thoughts?

This shouldn't be just a short blurb, this should get a big news post. First video footage of SiN:E afaik!

I'm still downloading but I'm quite excited.

Hm. I thought it looked and moved alright. The HUD looks very console-y, the player appeared to be controlled via a console joypad, could have used more variation in voice acting for the generic enemies but I think it's alright for the little budget they had to work with.

Definitely something I'm going to buy. I know it'll run okay on my computer, Source engine and all

"reminiscent of the canals in HL2" Unfortunately the HL2 engine is best suited to a very narrow high walled maze like environment. Not something I want to repeat agian with new enemies. I'll pass.
