Has anyone seen anything on this? It looks really fun. I would say it looks a lot like mirror's edge mixed with call of duty set in a distant future. The game has a SMART button feature which basically acts based on what the game thinks you are trying to do....for example if you are sprinting through a level and you want to go across a table the game goes ahead and slides across the table as you run up to it, or if you look down you'll slide under it.

Another neat feature is the squad based game play. there are several different classes you can be such as soldier, medic, or engineer and they each have their own different capabilities that the characters has, can use, and can bring to the team.

You are also able to make your character 100% the way you want to, all the way down to facial type and skin color.

Overall I think the game looks really interesting and seems like it may be a nice change from the normal fps we're all used to

They lost me at the cell shading graphics, if it was more realistic looking I'd be all over it.

yeah the graphics aren't up to the battlefield 3 scale but it is a fun game, definitely worth renting.

I've been watching it for a while now.

I like the depth in character customization, and I like the focus on mobility. Impressions and reviews I've been reading make it seem like it was a great idea that never got fully realized. I'll wait to hear more before I decide, but right now my $60 is staying in my pocket.

I think the cell shading is a nice change of pace from all the scads of realistic shooters out there.

Werd.

I'm a fan of cell-shading. Borderlands was one of my favorite titles of the past couple of years, and Champions Online (though I don't play it) looks beautiful and comic-booky (as opposed to the more realistic City of Heroes).

Brink seems to have gotten fairly panned, though.
