Eh, wasn’t ever interested? A black and white game? Like everyday life for me. I happened to like Mercenaries 2 but this looks like a crappier, frenchier version of Freedom Fighters. And with less wrench!

OT: That picture makes it look like soldier on the left is using his rifle to hit the other soldier on the head.

Argh. tekDragon and Smurfy nailed it. And nicely spotted, Nox. Like CaptainHairy, I was hoping for some good old Deus Ex/Hitman sneaky-sneaky-oh-crap-plan-B-DAKKADAKKADAKKA-oh-god-my-legs-plan-C in a rich slightly-noir sauce. Does not look forthcoming. Sadface.

Mark me up as another entrant to the was excited, now feeling very meh about the whole thing crowd.

Fortunately the awesomeness of that man’s beard meant the video was still worth watching

I thought the game was always going to be like this. I wonder why everyone is so surprised…

FPS gameplay? Stealth gameplay? Duck and cover gameplay? GTA-style driving gameplay, AND my character is motivated by vengeance?

Wow, I totally have to get this.

Oh, yes Xercies, the UI is terrible. And bulky. At some point it seems to take more than half of the screen, it feels like playing a relatively recent game in a too low resolution :p

It seems that the UI designer thought “it’s in the past, so I can get away with an old parchment look instead of actually designing something creative, relevant and efficient”.

(also, since we’re nitpicking, “Gare De L’Est” should probably be written “Gare de l’Est” :p)

Jesus, is there some sort of template used for making generic games? This game could have been interesting if it focused on how the resistance actually had to work, i.e. NOT engaging in large firefights with a numerically and technologically superior enemy. Instead it seems like they are making generic 3rd person shooter #395.

amazingly enough, I’m actually looking forward to this game now more than before I saw this trailer. The armoured divisions thing totally made me lol though. But I think that’s why it appealed more, because it dropped the pretense of trying to be anything serious. I don’t care about the absurdity of engaging in LARGER firefights to reduce the enemies overall alertness if the mechanic works. And by mechanic, I do not mean jean-pierre, who fixes your truck, I mean the system in which the game conveys its intentions. This game actually looks like it might be amusing to run around and blow up nazis in, as opposed to a ‘superserious reload every time you accidentally cough and it hurts a little and you alert every nazi in a 300 mile square area as well as losing half your HP for a misdelivered cough game’. I’ve got hitman for that kind of endeavour, sans nazis. Mainly, anyway. *ponders that the next hitman game should have a level set in a WW2 themed fancy dress party*

The outdoor combat shots made me want a Freedom Fighters 2.

I bet his beard has a better back-story.
