I wanna see the trailer again, anyone found it online?

I dont have an xbox 360 right now to DL it to

Ruffian is a sister company to RTW though, isn't it? They're effectively the same company under Microsoft.

Teamxbox will probably have it soon, they just rip the ones from marketplace I'm sure.

Very close to them, many of the same people who worked on Crackdown. I wonder if Dave Jone's "start up" comment was to throw people or if it was genuine?

I don't approve of the zombie/infection outbreak direction. The last game was awesome because you could jump around in a beautiful city. This one looks exceedingly dingy.

I've read a few articles in EDGE from various people, including N'Gai Croal, arguing that gamers still want a satisfying backdrop. Brown and green and black are not the be all and end all.

And do we really need YET ANOTHER zombie game? We've already got three competent examples in Resi, Dead Rising and Left4Dead.

Well it was prerendered and set at night. I'm sure it'll have the same Night/Day cycle and the same vivid visuals

[Ouenben]

Im wondering how similar it will be (the city) given you can make out the agency tower at one point

Oh a quote
"ultimate cooperative and competitive multiplayer experience"
2010 of course
Competitive=4 player co-op 2 good guys vs 2 bad guys confirmed*

*this is not a confirmation.

Crysis 2 will look so much better in Very High though

But in crackdown you can go very high too

Sounds ace.

I don't think they mean the city is infected by zombies, rather the city is 'infected' by the scum of the Earth.

I just watched the high res trailer and it looks fecking superb. I know its CG but the just seeing the city from the tower was a complete moment.

[Family Fry]

Sorry when I said confirmed it wasnt actually confirmed
Just saying thats how it should be
Then again, could be like that.

Hope both of the above are right.

I had a look at the high-res vid and it is much more reminiscent of Crackdown, so perhaps I was being overly pessimistic.

Nice vid, too!

[Ouenben]

I just hope the announcer/narrator guy from the first is a boss in this one.

oh and it'd be nice if they made boss fights a little better

is the high res video available online yet?
