Still on the fence whether this will be fun for a whole game, or get boring fast. Do like the concept and art whenever I see it though.

This game looks really fun, but I don't know if I should wait for the PC version. I have a feeling controlling and getting around will be easier on the PC with a mouse, since you can do snap / quick head movements to look around, scout a landing, turn towards a tight platform while running before a jump faster and more accurately, etc.

I imagine it will control fine on the consoles too, but the analog stick has always been cumbersome for me in first person games, I wonder what it feels like here.

Count me in for the PC release. The graphics are awesome and I really want to see them with AA+AF and 1080p.

  1080p on a PC? Why not a PC native resolution? : Freon

Looks like a fun game.

I'm really impressed by the engine though. Not many games are this bright and still look good. Plus its probably the best attempt at global illumination I've seen so far. I'm sure its all kind of faked somehow but the light bouncing and color bleed look very similar to radiosity in 3D studio max.

it's weird that she is never or rarely hit by bullets.. like in an action movie where the enemies shoot everywhere but the target. Another thing..there are parts where the helicopter cannot see her so there is nothing really chasing her during those points which really takes the suspense out of the game...it would be cooler if there were AI guys actually able to chase her.

Anyone think that this isn't "gameplay" footage, in the literal sense? The first-person perspective is altogether too smooth to be the result of a controller, and what we're looking at seems too well rehearsed, like the Killzone 2 trailer (although I'm not questioning this game's graphics).

Kudos to Faylor for getting this video up.

It was sorely missed on Shackvids, I had to go to 1up for it. :(

Are there any kind of RPG elements in there? I mean do you develop your character in any way say more stamina, agility etc so you can jump higher, or sprint faster? If the game is only about running from point a to point b and nothing more it will get boring fast.

This was looking decent when the first couple of trailers came out but now I think it looks really fun. I guess it'll be the closest thing I'll get to play to a first person version of Assassin's Creed, minus the boring assassin parts.
