So it's a single player open world super-hero game, akin to Elder Scrolls titles?
Are there *any* of those, not counting MMOs of course?

I just realized people might say inFamous and Prototype.
Enh. I meant like a large scale title - not a city that can be traversed in 15 minutes, edge to edge.

It takes about 30 minutes in inFamous and 20 in Prototype. Thankfully I hate both of those games and think this looks interesting.

You weren't kidding when you said rough. And that song made me want to Van Gogh both my ears.
But as a concept, it's aces. If this was polished considerably it could be amazing.

Hmm..it looks really interesting, it seems a little over-the-top violent, but it makes sense for the setting, which is what really has me interested. Seems promising.
it would probably be more effective as a FPS... and with another kind of music (that was more unfitting than lightning's armor)
and if it'd an fps, i would like it to play like deus ex, or maybe bioshock. A similar narrative style would be neat.
i can do nothing to change the game tho, and that makes me a really SAAD panda

Band is named Sigur Ros. They're really great. Most of their stuff is slow-burn build-up type music that sounds all inspirational and great. [I love them too!]

Very nice concept, rather bad execution at this moment. Still, if they can tighten up the graphics and make the powers truly customizable and equally fun to play (because let's be honest, controlling the weather is slightly more awesome than turning into a moving rock), then we'll have a pretty awesome game on our hands.
'Kay, I'm uh, more than sold. This looks absolutely amazing. Let's just hope they get that running animation with moth fists against the chest awkwardly out of the game. >.>

We already have more than enough first-person games, thank you very much. I prefer third-person, whenever possible.

Conceptually awesome, I just hope that if it does come to fruition it doesn't become to repetitive and that the story is half decent.
Hmmm....I like the potential of this. The song fit the world (which reminded me of Children of Men awesome stuff there) though with a bit more polish and emotive characters, I think the song could be highly effective. Really hope this one sees the light of day.

I am with you there, what is the point of making a custom character, if you can't see them? That is my little beef with the Fallout and Elder Scrolls series, I wish the 3rd person view was handled better.

Looks pretty cool, but what's with all the fighting cops and soldiers and not fighting super villains.

a game where you had powers but had to try and keep the public/normals from seeing you use them. like a stealth , super hero game.
the more attention you draw to yourself,by using power out in the open with witnesses etc. the more media and negative press you get turning you into a villin. but if you can help and save people with out them really knowing its you. its a positive effect, hero.
then you build a reputation and create a secret identity LATER in the game. you would have to do timed missions that intersect where it requires you to be one or the other and you have to choose when to change identities.

Looks brilliant really, aside from the visuals. I think they would really benefit to give this some kind of unique grahpical style - perhaps cel-shading.
@HEL105
well, i guess you are right.
However, when i said i wanted it to have a "similar narrative style" to deus ex i pretty much said i wanted it to NOT be a war game. it would be better if it had more of an fallout or Elder scrolls "do whatever you want to do" kind of game-play.
I just think that the concept of "change reality at will" could be more effective in a social based game-play, rather than a war/combat based game-play, which is what i get from watching this trailer... remember mindjack?

@Fetusmilk.
Handled intelligently that would be amazing. Not so sure it'd fit what they're going for in this game, but I'd certainly like to see something like that.

Weapon-based combat and seemingly no super-human powers like super strength, speed or flying? Looks a little too much like they're trying to mix games like inFamous and Prototype with a kinda generic cover shooter, and I don't like that. Still, this game is far from done from the looks of it, so I'm not gonna pass judgement.
Definitely a cool idea, but I doubt it will come together well. When you're spreading your core game mechanics across a bunch of different powers, which I assume the play cannot get all of, then you're just diluting your focus. A game this grand in concept would take a seriously high budget in order to really achieve what it's trying to do, and there's no way this game will have that budget.
Looks like a 'feel good, people can do anything' kind of thing... It came across as a corny PSA about normal humans using super powers to save those in disasters that'll end up being reminiscant to 911 and Haiti and things like hat.
Meh.
Meh.
i hope the publisher doesn't screw with the true image of this game & give us something "loud" & "badass" or "dark n gritty"
you know how us westerners love our shootin' *ahuck*

Christ some gamers are graphics whores. Cmon people! Believe it'll be good. It'll probably end up being a steaming man-sized pile of terry wogan but give it a chance.
Im interested in this, i love the superhero Mythos, been a fan of Heroes until itīs cancelation. This reminds me of Heroes
sounds really cool.....I'm always happy to hear when a game gets another life....looks like they've got alot of work ahead of them, as the game looks like it was developed using "last-gen" engines....hopefully, if this is a non-downloadable, full release, they bring it up to par...
@TVRN
I understand what you mean. Fair enough.
@WesternGamer1000
Maybe the third-person view in Skyrim will actually be, you know, playable (fingers crossed). That and the leveling system are what kept me from getting into Oblivion.

Paint me a shade of interested, although I'm praying they fix those hair textures, yikes!
Good find Sterling.

This makes me chuckle because on Wednesday during my first game dev 2 class, we were instructed to make a 30 second game in the 3 hours we had. My group did a game called Awakened where you play as a scuba diver running away from Cthulu. I'm planning on releasing it on my cblog in the very near future.
I enjoyed that, looks interesting. Would I buy it? Once its had some tweaks, on those PS3 Home-a-like characters, a nip here and a tuck there, yes I would. I think it would be cool to have this kind of game, along the lines of Infamous, but you could choose different characters, who could say, wonder around, and do things all in your face or secretive.
Prototype was cool, but the hooded Alex, got annoying. Varied characters, along a Heroes type idea, with varied powers, missions and locations (urban cityscape is too superhero easy), and this could be something special. After us missing out on This is Vegas, I hope this gets to shop shelves, or if not that via Live, PSN or Steam.

The universe looks really cool taking cues from a lot of other things but somehow making it their own. Basically work on the character animation and do something other than those explosion sprites and I'd buy it now.
Compraed to mediocre shit out there they call AAA titles THIS is already an epic win even in this "rough" state .
