Pretty unambitious if true...They should be building on something like uncharted and pushing the concept further by having more destructable environments. I do think that they have shown absolutely nothing gameplay wise to differentiate themselves from the pack, other some quite nifty weapons. Visuals and concept seem promising though.
What makes or breaks the gameplay in a TPS is the enemy AI and level design, and we're pretty light on info in that regard, even after the 5 or so trailers we've seen. Uncharted 1 was amazing to play and is still my favorite out of the 3 when it came to combat. Playing smart but aggressive while trying to stay alive on Survivor mode in those arena type battles against the enemy was really fun. I'm not seeing anything that speaks to me on that level in 1886 right now.
Honestly, the settling alone has me more excited than anything else, and the latest gameplay looks like a good TPS. Obviously, the graphics are insane but that doesn't mean that's all that's there.
I don't want to give RAD all the credit in the world in thinking this'll be GOTY, nor am I going to say it's completely shit, yet. But in no way from what we've seen so far can we infer that it'll be a good TPS. I'm erring on the negative side right now because I hate being disappointed.
