The gimmicky levels (absailing and driving)....ergh not so much. Also, that breaking mirror looked appaling. Who the hell put that in a trailer? Doubly shocking when you consider how good the lighting and scene damage is. I think the core game could be great, improvised weapons, real fire, an ai ecology.

Still probably not a lightsaber, though. My first thought was “lightsaber”, my second thought was “fluorescent light”, but I’m not sure. Still probably not a lightsaber, though.

For the first half of the video, though, i was also wondering where were the enemies... It's dark and all creepy looking, plays with lights and all that stuf; looks nice. It does look alot like Resident Evil 4, let's pray it does not have "quick events" or whatever they are called...

What struck me most, though, was how <i>dark</i> it was. And when there was enough light to see your hand in front of your face, there was a bloody great pall of smoke hanging in the air. It seems to me that they're attempting to play on the "I know it's out there, but I can't see it" thing to make it scarier. I think I approve. Agree with the off looking-ness.

A lot of the footage is culled from the intriguing 'Real World Rules' trailers (also on Gametrailers) which give a better idea of how the gameplay works (and feature much chair burning action). The core ideas are admirable but it doesn't look so hot in practice (apart from the chairs, natch), although the real test will be when we finally get our grubby mits on it. @Not-a-bot-although-I-have-my-doubts: It’s a strip light.

Might as well set yourself on fire and hug the enemies, then. 1) What’s with the music?
