Truly running their own concord trilogy of flops ; speedrun style.
Should've took what little money is left and ran.

Game looks like dog shit.
Same studio that somehow raised $100M in investors money for Splitgate 2. Give em credit. The execs know how to get money to fund their games.

Isn't the owner some rich nepo baby? All the money came from his daddy?

Maybe. I dont know anything about that. I just remember this.
1047 Games raises $100M at $1.5B valuation after 13M Splitgate downloads

Youre right. His dad is co-founder of Quicken. So his fam has big money.
Tom Proulx - Wikipedia
In 2021, he was also involved with 1047 Games, founded by his son Ian.

Mocking aside, and to add to the conversation:
First impression was that visually it's very clean and corporate looking, but then the audio is rebellious music, like mix between Brink (if anyone remembers that one) and Mirror's Edge.
Just purely in terms of game mechanics Empulse could be fun for sure, but I like it when a game has some character, some personality to it which I feel is lacking for me here

I'll give it a chance, but something about it feels passion-less, if that makes sense. It feels like the visuals / art is just missing something.

Reminded me of Brink too. The cover at least.
It's because it has an art style of faded colours and a concrete environment with a smidge of colour splash. Similar to MrRibEye said above... has a Mirror's Edge slant to it.
Nobody knows what all the other maps will be. Could be crazy colourful jungles or sci fi skies like Titanfall where maps could have bold blue and orange maps. But what they showed was an urban map with flat colours. By the looks of the interior and exterior of the mechs they look like crap too compared to TF.

Seems okay to me, albeit I'm a sucker for grappling hooks. Having physics on the wires to swing around obstacles or drop in on opponents is a good time for me, id actually be in favor of more Spider-Man type trickery and less parkour myself (wall-running does little for me at this point, whereas a Bionic Commando deathmatch has my number.) TF2 had its wire tricks, but this seems more grapply at heart.
The Titans though feel like an afterthought in this trailer, just big gun tanks which can easily be overcome by skilled players. Maybe a second trailer will show the Titans in a better light?
Don't hold the music against the game, that's likely just a track marketing picked out to sell it. Doubtful the game music will be so 1999...

Weirdly, Titanfall clones are en vogue right now. 3 different ones are in the works that I am aware of (all are MP-focused, mostly PC indies.) Here are links to the other two:
ShatterRush on Steam https://share.google/4QhZdQ0Oiw8NvsA66
Diesel Knights on Steam https://share.google/j4sE3hOy66BJIT7Bx

They don't know why I liked titanfall, I guess. Put twice as much effort in making the mechanics look good, and half as much into wall running mid air battles. Set it somewhere other than shipping container city. Have the character seem like warfighter and not taggers. Grapple is good though.

The gameplay doesn't look bad.
But I just find the art direction and overall vibe with the music really off-putting. Splitgate 2 had the same issue with the pink purple "sports" vibe.
These guys proudly say they make games because they miss the good days of Halo and wanted there to be a Titanfall 3, then release shit that looks like this
