Mindjack is out next week and it has a concept which has definitely piqued my interest. The idea of corporate-controlled societies always fascinate me and the line of thinking that technologies are in development that could wrest control of my very will sends a little chill up my spine.
Square Enix decided to take a much more lighthearted approach to the effects such a technology could have in the lives of the people. Yes, this would be pretty horrifying too.

hmmm, what do you reckon Dtoid? Renter or a buyer?
I couldnt say. The concept seems interesting and the gameplay I've seen looks pretty cool but my fear is the mind control woul be a gimmick unless there's a massive variety of things to control.
That's my filthy tuppence worth tho, I could be utterly wrong about it and it's actually goty material.
Agreed. Basically straight from announced to on shelves, which isn't a good sign, but at the same time, this is Squeenix, so it could just be them being inept at marketing anything that isn't FF. Perhaps Dtoid can review and let us know? But after Hunted. Hunted comes first.
such a cool idea turned into such a dumb ad. doesn't even make sense with the premise.
