Two years away? Hurgh. Why even announce it or show anything?
My guess is that:
- its a new IP so at bare minimum some number of people get exposed to it now and can get hyped
- they're recruiting developers as much as anything it seems, so it might help raise awareness with devs looking for work
I usually don't like CG trailers, but in this case where the game is so early, I don't mind as long as the final product has some resemblence to the CG they just showed. My annoyance with CG trailers is more with games like The Old Republic where they show the fancy CG trailers relatively close to launch as a primary marketing tool when the actual game's visuals look very little like what the trailer is portraying.
What I fear now is that by far the most interesting of the characters here - the cybered-up chick - is just eye candy for the trailer and in the actual game we are going to get some generic 30 something brown-haired male.
I want at least one of the playable characters to be this woman.
I'm wondering if maybe the Player Character ends up joining Psycho Squad? So you create your own character and end up in Psycho Squad with the Cyber Lady from this trailer and the Judge Dredd looking Cop Guy from the trailer as squadmates or important NPCs maybe?
Or Psycho Squad and these characters end up as NPCs in the game or part of the story somehow.
