Weird animation in there, also looks like it's relying to hard on trying to look cinematic, but other than that it definitely looks interesting.
Jesus Christ, so much hate since I went to bed.
You think this is bad acting? Try Silent Hill 3 from the HD collection (also the original Silent Hill or Resident Evil) or Two Worlds. This is just fine, hardly "cringe-worthy". I mean, what exactly do people hear with this "bad acting" that I don't? The only thing that stuck out as bad was the "The fugitive!" line. I get the dialogue complaint, but it's also fine. "Saturday morning cartoon" dialogue is good! We're not exactly supposed to be watching a movie here.
And the action got a good deal better once she started using that arm module to move things around and the melee combat was introduced. Yeah, it's like Batman: Arkham City with cyberpunk-ish powers and flair.... THAT'S A GOOD THING!
I think people are just really REALLY trying to look for things to complain about, whether it be because of Capcom or another reason.

"If your game revolves around infiltration, then why not show off exactly that?"
They did in the previous demo.

Actually the CQC was the highlight for me. The protagonist's animation scaling walls looked fine. I worry however whenever a new IP comes off bad because if it fails there's even less chance of either a sequel to refine the gameplay or new IP afterward.
Surely you thought that chase sequence with the aircraft could've been shorter? It appeared to me that the bullets did hit her and it did no damage. Frankly I don't like chase sequences in any game. (I've never played Uncharted so I can't compare) When a cinematic game's chase sequence feels like a parody of a chase sequence something went wrong.
I don't think the voices are bad acting at all. They're just grating because they remind me of Hydrophobia.
There are a lot of ways to show off new IP. A generic chase sequence with a boss that clearly has no ability to do damage is not one of them.

The chase did kinda go on a little longer most sequences like that. And it wasn't as good as Uncharted 2's version of it, but it still seems to be intense during actual play. Those moving/opening/closing platforms and gates could make the platforming in later sections pretty interesting.

The mooks have way too much health, music is fine, dialogue's a bit cheesy but overall the game looks just fine, I'm just not fully impressed as this feel a bit unoriginal to me, I rather wait for Republique, play CYPHER or just stick to Deus Ex HR.
The chase scene reminded me of The Matrix chase with Trinity at the beginning of the movie, music sounded like it too; which is a good thing.
The gameplay looks fun and kind of like a uncharted. Combat looks too easy enemies didn't put up much of a fight.
Graphics look good to me.
Voice acting is a bit cheesy but I don't mind that. Definitely on my radar now.

GAWD BLESS YOU MARY POPPINS.
personally I think this looks a little too generic. Its like it was designed by a focus group

@SeymourDuncan17: The voice acting is bad. Not only is it badly acted, it is badly written. There are definitely games with worse voice acting like you mentioned, no doubt, but that doesn't make this voice acting good. If you find it acceptable then that's fine, you wont find it an issue, but acceptable for you will not be acceptable for someone else.
I don't know why you made the comparison to Arkham City when there is very little similar between the two. Moving objects around the game world with a device has been around a lot longer than Arkham City, and the combat looks more like a janky Assassins Creed than anything. There didn't seem to be any timing involved at all. Just mash, mash, mash, and then a QTE that resulted in the same face-exploding animation playing out every time.
You're getting overly defensive and insulting peoples opinions by saying they are mindlessly bashing the game for no reason. People have different opinions about quality. You don't mind the b-movie voice acting, the stiff movement, the button mashing fighting, and the generic and overly-long chase sequence, and other people do mind it. That doesn't mean they're haters. They just expect a different level of quality than you do.

the fairly negative reaction to this has restored some of my faith in gamers.
the opening quote soured me to this before i even saw the gameplay, but it certainly gave me an idea as to the mindset of the writers - which is that they are willing to invite direct comparison between one of the finest minds in all of history and themselves.
i think "obnoxious" describes the footage quite well, and although it lookd quite competent in some areas, watch dogs makes this look like a joke in comparison.

I'm sick of all these uncharted clones [sick of uncharted too but that's beside the point.] Every god damn game now has some gimmicky wall climbing tedium. shimmying and jumping around ledges to do some more shimmying IS NOT FUN.
The climbing mechanics seemed really slow but this is an unfinished game so I cant really hold that against it. Other than that the game looked pretty interesting but it's the type I usually rent months after release.
Looks like Uncharted with a cyberpunk theme, with an element of Dead Space about the controls. Needs a better script, but that won't stop me from giving it a try.
I actually like the look of this game, maybe it's not great in some areas but the scifi setting is what does it for me, Ass Creed meets Deus Ex, nice.
I like the chase scene and the script, meh it's a video game it's supposed to be unrealistic, lowbrow and cliche just like an action movie. "The hunter becomes the hunted" so cheesy it's great!
Voice acting isn't that bad it's ok, and in Japanese VO standards its quite good
The animation does look wierd, she looks like shes walking on her toes, but if you look you can see is wearing heels. TBH I won't beable to tell how it plays until I have a pad in my hand.

Really it reminds me of Enslaved. Linear parkour segments with a fight every couple of feet. Combat and concept seem cool enough but the acting and the music presented here is lacking that special something.
Pro:
- Interesting ideas in an interesting world w/ a story that might not have been done a billion time
- It has action, but she doesn't shoot all the time, psy-hacking and take down moves seem to be more dominant.
- From the two videos you see there is action, stealth, and then just mini-games...so there is some variety of play.
Cons:
- The dialogue sounds stale and melodramatic nobody speaks French (or even a French accent) in Neo-Paris. Really?
- The animation is B-Rate. Not a deal killer at all if the game supplies a unique experience, but this is not a AAA title.
- The UI is horrible and invasive to the game play. This game should have minimal UI and it should be more in the background. This sort of in your face UI design is from 2005, not 2013. (I'm hoping you cna turn off much or the UI.)
Here is my advice, when you buy the game REMEMBER to turn the langue to French to get the original voice actress...see if that is less annoying with French voice w/ subtitles. See if you can turn down or off the UI.
