Just a lot of hype, mostly, nothing sounded terribly innovative and it's cross-platfrom, something that rarely bodes well for the PC. It comes from a cool heritage so maybe it has a shot of being decent but time will tell.
If there’s an intellectual property attached to it someone will eventually call asking for money, heck there was a story not to long ago on here about the red cross used in games for health being used without permission and seeking coverage from said use of their copyrighted symbol.

On another note, what's up with announcing a game without accompanying media?
Also, I’m glad they clarified what FPS meant in their press release. I had always wondered about that.
