Volition loves using Ultor in their games don't they? And a stylized Saints Flur at the end?
There was some weird pacing going on in that trailer, made it hard to watch at some points. Looks alright though... seems like a co-op action FPS/TPS based on the trailer. Curious to see some gameplay.
So it's like Saint's Row meets Overstrike? Looks like it thematically, no idea how it's gonna play yet. Here's hoping it doesn't get grubbied up like what happened to Overstrike, nowadays known as Fuse: Dull and Lifeless Fuck EA.

Hopefully the fact that Overwatch is out and that Volition has enough confidence in their own vison leads for that to not happen again.
New IP, but they have a giant Saints row reference at the end [t]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CkRucx_VEAEjtpg.jpg:large[/t]

Artstyle reminds me of battleborn albeit toned down in proportions.
Yeah, and Over[U]strike[/U]/Fuse was published by EA and developed by Insomniac. Totally different houses.
[quote]So it's an exclusively single-player open-world action game featuring characters with cool guns, gadgets, and abilities to toy around with. [/quote] might be fun, I wonder if the graphics will come close to the trailer.
Huh, single player? It totally looked like some sort of Co-Op MP game.
that was a 4 minute trailer and I still know absolutely nothing about the game
Looks interesting, hopefully we find out more about what it actually is soon enough. E3 Maybe?
looks cool.
Interesting, I wonder if we'll see more at E3 or not
[QUOTE=Judas;50465186]that was a 4 minute trailer and I still know absolutely nothing about the game[/QUOTE] Semi-comedic shooter (There's no way it [I]isn't[/I] a shooter tbh) with a pixar-esque art style isn't "nothing"
yeah i have a feeling this will be related to saints row [I]somehow[/I]
Looks pretty cool, though I want to see some gameplay.
can i play as the dark matter wizard who solos an entire party of heroes, though? that's the real question

Hardly." and she was talking to Ultor. This is a little TOO big to be a reference. Something tells me this is some kind of Saint's Row Spinoff type of game, except without the Saint's Row title to surprise us.

From the trailer I was getting some kind of Moba/Overwatch knockoff feeling.
[QUOTE=Limed00d;50465284]yeah i have a feeling this will be related to saints row [I]somehow[/I][/QUOTE] well yeah i mean all volition games take place in the same universe, thats just kinda their thing honestly i dont mind, if they wanna rock one continuity where the games are spaced out just enough that they dont directly interact, that's cool in my book.
[QUOTE=Tuskin;50465093]New IP, but they have a giant Saints row reference at the end [t]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CkRucx_VEAEjtpg.jpg:large[/t][/QUOTE] Well, they did say that the next Saints Row would go in a radically different direction. Maybe this is it, or maybe rather, what it turned into?
[QUOTE=Skyward;50465244]Looks interesting, hopefully we find out more about what it actually is soon enough. E3 Maybe?[/QUOTE] Most deffo E3. I'll be paying attention for more on this game. Looks very interesting with the ending of the trailer.
Is this a new hero shooter or a new Crackdown type thing, honestly can't tell?

Of course, for the last decade Saints Row and Red Faction has been all they've made.
[QUOTE=elowin;50465347]Well, they did say that the next Saints Row would go in a radically different direction.

In fact that ending of the trailer just really hits it hard for me that this is some Saint's Row game somehow. The Saints logo and colors are way to large, and that mysterious lady even talking about them, it's undeniable. But alas, only at E3 will we learn whether this is a true IP, or a Spinoff set in the Saint's universe.
[QUOTE=Rossy167;50465359]Is this a new hero shooter or a new Crackdown type thing, honestly can't tell?[/QUOTE] According to IGN it's an open world single-player game where you can take control of any one of the three heroes shown in the trailer.
[QUOTE=elowin;50465382]According to IGN it's an open world single-player game where you can take control of any one of the three heroes shown in the trailer.[/QUOTE] Taking a note from GTA V I see.
This looks really cool! The art direction looks super stylish, reminds me of a comic book. I'm definitely excited to see it in action.
The trailer gave an impression that it will be similar to Saints Row - co-op shooter. If it doesn't have co-op then I'd be [I]really[/I] surprised, because that trailer showed cooperation between characters, so I'd expect a multiplayer co-op component to be part of the game.
