I was watching videos of this from my cell phone all day, and now that I'm finally seeing it on my HDTV I'm blown away. No game that I've ever seen looks as insane as this game does during gameplay. And the better the player, the more insane and next gen it all looks. It has that softness that people have referred to, sure, but it looks so damn good. It looks like a pre-rendered movie a lot of times. The combat, I mean let's be real, there's nothing out there right now that is comparable to this. It's not just another cover based third person shooter. It's something very different. If people were thinking that this was just, for example, gears of war cover based shooting with time powers, we see that the game, with someone who is actually skilled enough, is so much more, and I still get the feeling like we're just scratching the surface.
This is only the first act, so I can't wait to see what else Remedy has up their sleeves for this game as we get further along. Remedy are easily one of my all time favorite devs ever since the first Max Payne, right behind my favorite period, which is Hironobu Sakaguchi. Max Payne was the game that made me purchase my first ever pc upgrade, which was a geforce 3 ti500. April 5th can't get here fast enough.
