It's a thread about a game we are just learning about. Of course people are going to draw comparisons to aspects of games it reminds them of. Is a Titanfall thread not filled with CoD with mechs comments? Fact is people are going to try to relate to it. They're going off what they have in front of them.

Hmm. Didn't really show off enough for me to get a feel for it. Do we know when during the game this footage was taken? Feels like it would be closer to the beginning.
As for the visual presentation:
Potentially the best I have ever seen. I didn't think Shadow Fall would be rivaled so soon. Seriously impressive.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Gameplay I'm not sure about, simply because this vid shows nothing but bog standard third person shooting, and even though I do enjoy a good shooter I can't tell if it's good/bad without feeling the hit feedback, cover system, and controls for myself.
Obviously outstanding visually. The technology is incredibly impressive, but what impresses me more is the art direction, how cohesive and focused it is. Graphical purist probably won't like the abundance of filters, motion blur, and depth of field, but it reminds me a lot of Resident Evil 4 in that the art is working in synchronisation with the rendering engine to ensure it looks as good as it can. The lighting, shadows, colour filtering, and blur all look intended, and it makes the overall visual presentation even more impressive.
Only thing I'd whine about, just being a stickler, is the lack of parallax occlusion mapping or tessellation on the brick walls. Giving them some real geometric depth would be nice. But considering how good the rest of it looks, it's possible they just don't have the headroom to make the calculations and maintain a solid framerate. Or they tried and it looked gross, not working well with their lighting/shadowing engine or something.

Looks fantastic. Also liking what I'm hearing about making the transition between CG and gameplay seamless. Always wanted more games to attempt it after Lost Odyssey, so I'm glad to see someone pick up the torch.
Not yet. I don't think one QTE is enough to have an outcry, personally, but I'm sure there will be some of that throughout the thread.
He's just a lil guy, tryin his hardest with this whole "Internet" thing.

I dunno, I feel it was too short. And we didn't see the physics nor the destruction in this video

Yeah, its our only next gen comparison as well given they are both TPS. Ryse looks extremely good and I think this ups the ante a bit again.

Well that certainly was a mixed bag. Graphics wise it certainly looks great, but what little shooting there was looked...dull. QTE's suck, and the rest of the footage did noting more that say, "Look at the pretty graphics.

Looks AMAZING.
But its going to get some serious hate for that 21:9 forgot black bars for 99% of the game is not fun, at least for me.
But the few people that has a 21:9 tv yes they do exist
It will look AMAZING.
They really need to make a marketing deal with Philips

Why do people keep bringing up Ryse in these threads? They're two completely different games, no point in comparing them.

Melee QTE looks... dumb. Too much watching, not enough QTEing, y'know? It's like seven or eight seconds of tussling and then you press a button for one random attack, then more tussling for a while before the game remembers "Oh, right, QTEs!" 
The rest looks neat, though. I look forward to seeing the full footage without some jerk talking over the whole thing.

Then what exactly do you mean when you criticize is for not having "next-gen gameplay"?

Real-time cutscene and gameplay parity more like.
what ? alright my main concern was script. that seems to be addressed. now my only work is tps burnout of this storytelling medium ... but i think i can make it thru 2 3 more of these before that hits properly so hopefuly by then some new gameplay mechanics are involved .... till then bring it on ... game looks awesome btw.
Actually, since they are in a current firefight, it is entirely possible that the guy is so deafened by gunshots that he can't tell where gunfire is coming from, and assumes the guy got shot by the bloke in the window.
When the guy gets shot in the back (and killed), he was standing up, making it entirely plausible.
Obviously this is just speculation. Please wait for more footage or for the game to come out for more detailed AI analysis.

I'm not familiar with him but the story is what's gonna end up setting this game apart from other TPS if that trailer is anything to go by.
I really hope you're right, we need more great stories in games.

Looks really good! Can't wait to see more.
Also is that the soundtrack of the game I hearing? If so, it's fuckin good also.
I see so much potential jn this series, hopefully it won't be bogged down as "merely" a coverbased shooter.

Because I wanna be wowed with gameplay AND graphics, I want to see a game where it makes me wonder, wtf thats crazy, never knew you could do that.
Kind of like TLOU did with animation.

Its because the thread is open for no more than 15 min and the fucking Ryse comparisons come rolling in. Shit is absurd.
Kudos to him for putting his watermark in the black spot though.
Utterly seamless transition between gameplay and CGI... that is some impressive stuff. I want to see more about the environmental destruction. Best looking game I've ever seen, and as someone else said, we haven't seen ND yet.
Don't be surprised to see Sony buy RaD in the near future. They passed their non-portable test with flying colors.
