It looks incredibly Hollywoodian. And more movie than game. Not far to judge from such a brief trailer, perhaps, but even then...

Hmmm, that's actually old.

Not too old, but at least a couple of months old. I wonder why it is just now getting to IGN.

you wouldn't happen to know of anything 'new' accessible by the public that we haven't seen yet?

To make a fool of me in front of Obsidian developers.

I have no idea when anything new is getting released. I have seen the guys in the video processing room recording and examining game footage, but that could just be for anything. It could be for Sega Execs or for private press of just for us Obsidianites.

Yeah, this is old. I've seen that trailer a dozen times already, seems like it keeps bumping around from site to site.

It (still) looks very Jason Bourne. And boring as hell.

Baseball is gay. It has a gayosity that is beyond gayness.
American football is gay. It is gayer than baseball.
Americans are idiots.

Accept.

Why are Bioware and Obsidian making their advertising-versions of the PC such grubby looking guys? This one looks like he should be working in the back of a grocery store stacking milk jugs. Not even military-level composed - although I guess CIA guys usually aren't much either. At least the Mass Effect guy looked like he might have gotten a BA somewhere.

hm, thanks. let's hope your fellow obsidianites release some info with substance soon, because so far the game isn't looking all that interesting.

He obviously took the small frame perk.

He's not supposed to be some military Brock Samson-type secret agent. Way I see it, he's just supposed to be Jason Bourne with a hint of Jack Bauer and James Bond. And somewhere in the game you have the dialogue option of masquerading as Jack Black. I just know you do. I fucking know this game already!!

American football could be seen as a sissy sport because they wear body armour.

The game looks like the most boring thing I've ever seen judging from that trailer.

And then there's this: what kind of game is it? The trailer leads me to believe it's gonna be a Jason Bourne-movie where I get to dodge exploding coaches and bang hot women. The interviews tells me it's gonna be a Deus Ex-style game, possibly mixed up with a little hint of Splinter Cell and a James Bond-minigame where I get to bang women. It's not the most schizophrenic marketing plan I've ever been subjected to, but it's pretty close. I mean, Jesus crotchgrabbing Christ, make up your fucking minds! Mom tells me I can only buy ONE spy rpg this decade so I gotta make sure I pick the right one!

It's fucking insane!!

It's like you don't want to sell this game!

Sneak out some gameplay footage. You can send it to me on the DL, I'm probably the only person sincerely interested in the game here. I can write about it for this prestigious magazine.

Uh, isn't that what most game trailers look like? Most don't show actual gameplay.

I saw an ad for building an impenetrable fortress and defending it from robots.
