Looked good and all with effects and graphics.. But imo, the gimmicky slo-mo thing was too heavily emphasized. I mean the vids basically show: cover, shoot, time manipulation, run to new cover, rinse and repeat. Looked good no doubt, but got dull and repetitve awfully fast after the 10th time manipulation.


EDIT: Double post... -.-

Going by game logic, i'd assume new time powers will be unlocked as the game gets harder.

I'd assume new time powers will be unlocked during the game.


Maybe so.. But it seemed there was too much emphasis on the powers in general, which made the shoot and cover gameplay mechanics seem kinda like an afterthought.  I dunno.. Hopefully a new gameplay trailer soon that reveals more.. Just not feeling it at the moment with too much of that rinse repeat pattern they displayed.



Man.. I hate it when your girl has to leave my place to come back to you..

It will be on PC. Have no fear. Remedy are a PC centric company even though they make games for MS. They have a loyalty to PC gamers that knows no bounds. How do I know this? They said it. I dont think they've made a game in a while that hasnt touched PC.


That's good news for the people that own a powerful gaming PC and don't mind waiting for the PC port to eventually happen.

As a X1 owner, I'm looking forward to playing it in a not as distant future.


True enough. We both will. This is the only Xbox exclusive in the history of the Xbox that ive ever truly been curious about the story though. I am a huge story based game buff.

Yep, this is going to be a looker for sure.  I also really like seeing the bridge ripple.

I personally don't mind it being an after thought. Too much gunplay makes a game bland.

True.. But the shoot/cover system looked very generic.. Hence why I thought it was an afterthought.  Just graphically, it looked out of place compared to everything happening on screen.. Especially with the power effects..

Maybe they're showing time freezing capabilities to the audience.

Also they showed that you could blaze guns like this:

What cover system in a modern TPS that's not generic? Give me one example, only one.

graphics looked good,nothing spectacular,,textures in places(polys also) were very bland(his jacket particularly) and some cars. i like the distortion effects though and the wood wave was very well done... the shooting didnt stand out and the telekinesis/tome shifting stuff bring the game to a halt to me,everything stands frozen with zero action.
