looks gorgeous but I expect level design to be different, from that small piec of gameplay looks too lineal, Binary Domain levels here.

To sum it up, that was... Anticlimactic.
Since the game *almost* had full length trailer at VGX I expected a better edited clip, showing the better bit. Graphics looked solid, but then it was almost entirely cutscenes (granted, in-game) then a very short shooting part that barely set the game apart, and finally a QTE (as much as they're trying to put a twist on it, any self-aware developer should know by now the reaction it gets).
And to top it off, it looked like it was struggling to sustain a steady 30fps. I know it's an early build, but I was hoping for a smarter, more strategic trailer... This, however, felt like an amateurish attempt.

Sorry we were expecting more from a highly anticipated exclusive.

I have this odd feeling they will delay it, I don't have any good reasoning behind this, so I think that's totally necessary to mention.
Anyway loved the atmosphere, they should show more though.

So games are about only graphics these days? I like graphics but that doesn't mean gameplay can be as lame as this.
Looks stunning visually. But I'm not allowing myself to get excited until I see some gameplay. I still have very little idea of how this thing plays. Details have been maddeningly vague.
I had my doubts that this would be anything close to a full reveal but still I want more. Until E3, then.

I'm not complaining because it's not "gorgeous".. I was just hoping for more than another linear Gears clone. It's sill on my radar though.
Yes thats usually what you do in a 3rd person shooter.

I know but You eat with your eyes first
and besides that I am allowed to form a opinion. That's the whole purpose of the Video. And I' am also allowed to question, why the PR talk for this game was mostly about Graphics, Physics, Animation and Story. Based on all visual and non visual information we can clearly say, that there is a focus on a cinematic experience. Again: I like that approach. It isn't new to the Industry and I also know from my experience that this approach is always coupled with compromises in the gamely department. I expect a atmospheric visually stunning game with a traditional and linear gameplay . There is no need to be sensible about my opinion.

- Even with the youtube shit quality the game still looks insane. LOL @ decent graphics.
- Gameplay, well lack thereof looks boring. That 10 sec gun gameplay looked god awful. Couldn't at least showcase a special gun or set piece to make it look interesting?
- QTE's are fine with me. I expected it because of their past history and their hard on for cinematic storytelling. At least they're doing the good kind of QTE's that offer a challenge instead of just button mashing.
The preview is shit. Not a smart way to hype your game with short boring b roll stuff. Obviously saving good stuff for E3 (i hope so at least). RAD already has a proven track record so it's funny and sad how so many people are quick to write them off. But i guess that's what makes the internet the internet.

Would you prefer that he stood in the open and got shot? What would you do if you were being shot at?
MY FRIEND. We've known for a LONG TIME that this game will have cover-based shooting, so if you were expecting something else, that's all on you.

I know it's random, but the camera work in that "jumping off the building" gif reminds me SO much of that one BG&E2 prototype footage that I would would be unattainable in actual real world gameplay.
It excited me to see the camera work in the full game.
Where is this game
well, considering we hadnt actually seen any gameplay i don't think it's that outrageous to have hoped MAYBE they were going to do something new within the genre
this just looks like their take on uncharted
yawn
couldn't be less interested

It looks like one of those scripted jumps from RE4 where you walk to a ledge and press a button to watch a fancy jump take place, but aren't actually in control of the jump. Or maybe like Zelda, it just auto jumps to keep the UI elements off screen. It's not as much of a challenge to script camera work like that when the entire jump animation is built specifically for that one gap. Other third person games have done similar things.

Really looks like a lot of lost potential for a gears of war type multiplayer

Ordinarily that would bug me as well, but at least there is a potentially decent contextual reason for you to be fighting a bunch of humans in addition to critters.
Heh, I wonder if they will handle the revolution angle as poorly as Bioshock Infinite did.
These are all my main concerns as well, as I consider pacing really important. Honestly though, pacing and flow seem to vary so much from stage to stage in most modern games that it might indeed be tough to judge without playing a good portion of the game.
Did you press a button to shoot the guy or did you press a button to slice the guy?

Looks crazy good. I am only disappointed that more gameplay was not shown, but really in perspective this short glimpse of what the game looks like when in control makes sense. There will be a lot of events between now and the release to show more of the world, bigger encounters, other sides of the gameplay, etc. No use showing your full hand now.
Oh, I'm sure, but it still creates a cool effect that enhances that "film" look.

Pretty disappointed that there was not much new gameplay other than what we got before the embargo was lifted. The trailer was good on its own, but was expecting a longer peek at the monsters than this:
Having said that, I don't need to be sold on the gameplay right now. There is still (probably) 8 months for that! If Sony doesn't want to show anything that isn't polished enough, that's fine. It's their prerogative. They get my money whenever they convince me that it will be good. That day isn't today, but it doesn't have to be.

We've known this for months. What are you talking about.
Reading some of the comments beforehand I was expecting something much worse than what I actually saw. Graphically the game looks amazing but as far as game play goes, there's so little shown off it's really hard for me to judge so I don't quite get some of the reactions here. Either way, I hope we will get to see a better look around E3.

It's looking to be a heavily scripted, heavily linear QTE-fest Uncharted clone.
Models looked nice, but the environments, meh.
Not very impressive. Definitely not 30fps impressive.
But why? they are months out from release and this is just to keep the Hype going.
E3 is what 3 months away, it will be a huge Blowout of Videos/Hand-On etc etc and then this will be when the game is shown.
Can we not just take this for what it? The new benchmark in visuals, with CGI level quality that has a premise that looks exciting and interesting with a world I want to play in.
All the QTE hyperbole and Corridor slating is really premature at this point..and I cannot see the reason for it??
I honestly don't think there's enough gameplay shown to justify the hate. I understand everyone being disappointed (myself included) since they gave us barely anything after all that hype, but I don't think we've seen enough gameplay to write it off as a mediocre third person shooter.

Which is a shame because the rest of the image looks fantastic. The clipping through the leg really breaks the realism. But yeah dem cloth physics are tasty

I don't mid third person shooters, what has me concerned is the bugs some reviews are referring to. Hopefully they can get sorted out before release.

I agree it looks nice because they simulated the effect of a cameraman running behind the character. If their "cinematic" aspirations were kept solely to small presentational touches like that, I'd be much more excited for the game.

In the broll, near the end where he jacks open a crate? That's a special weapon.
The set piece of him jumping down on the guy was interesting enough. Can you tell when the cinematic begun? I couldn't.
Haha, exactly.

Have you played it or are you judging from 10 seconds of gun play.

You're telling me you don't see chest high walls all around town? That's all I see walking around Boston. Chest high walls that would be perfect to shoot from behind cover.
That would be a problem do sense the game has no regenerated health.

Sure E3 will be great for it but this embargo stuff was really being hyped around the place as a chance to really see the game in action but there really wasn't a lot to it
As you said though it was a great chance to see the visuals and the seamless transition between cutscenes and gameplay. The character models and cloth physics are especially impressive as well as the lighting.
I dunno, I guess I just expected more and hyped myself up unnecessarily. I was hoping RAD would release a section of straight gameplay, not even a long section but just a little preview of different mechanics without people commentating over it. Just showing small sections with cover based shooting and a QTE doesn't really add a whole lot to what we've seen or heard before. Even the official trailer they released didn't do a whole lot more than what we have seen or knew prior.
My own fault I guess for expecting more

So many people crying and bitching when they haven't seen but 30 seconds of legitimate gameplay.
It looks gorgeous and I look forward to seeing more. If your hype is gone because of this, you had no hype built at all to begin with.
