Same. I've scene enough to buy it as a big Deus Ex fan and I had it pre-ordered since 2018, but I've seen nothing with this title that tells me its anything more then Deus Ex with cars in a larger world. Nothing is wrong with that, but nothing is that revolutionary about that either. I caution anyone going around talking about scope, density or anything crazy like that as this team has been very, very careful about not making statements regarding that subject other then buzzwords to market.
It would be like trying to say Mass Effect 2 is going to be like No Man Sky based on the marketing words like "travel the galaxy planet to planet" etc. I think maybe, just maybe many are taking certain things "suggested" as literal things with no real evidence that the team is doing anything that different. The team being really careful about talking about the world, tells me its not as dense as many might be thinking as team would be singing some crazy feat to the roof tops
ie 90% enterable buildings, xyz square feat of interior, blank at every corner or something.
As someone thats gamed long enough, many times its pretty clear the title isn't doing something THAT different when the team themselves are hesitant to go into any deep, exact, specific detail regarding such things. Theses marketing teams fucking love telling you stats about junk. Chances are, if the game is really doing something extremely unique, the wouldn't just say some vague marketing points like "the density of the content" or " packed it full of life ", they'd give you some data.
Need I remind folks, how many other games have we not heard fucking marketed this exact way ie " packed it full of life", that could be any fucking game this generation..... So when Unity states 10,000 NPCs and even tells you 1/4 of the whole map is interiors....they are not fucking scared to brag about that achievement. They can say " packed it full of life" or "density", but they have the ACTUAL data to prove it, its not simply a vague, broad, general claim.
I think its still going to be a great game, but my expectations are in check. Fuck, i'd be happy to be proven wrong myself and that city is packed with thousands of NPC like in AC series and Hitman and stores and interiors are all over at every corner on every block. I'm simply doubtful because if that was the case, thats the thing you'd never stfu about if you are their marketing team lol
