I'm definitely excited by the concept of this game... But I wonder, will there be a difficulty setting or way for us to turn off the 'hot route' that guides players? And is there only one way to get in and out of the various locales? It seems like the mechanic will lend itself to gameplay that feels like it's on rails...

You can customize maps and stuff too?

I don't know yet, about the customisation...would be nice However the hot route as you put it kev, exists in all directions, so the idea is you don't have to think on whether or not you can use a ledge or whatever, if its a colour surface you can move there So it will be free roaming from what I understand except less Prince of Persia guessing and more Assassins Doing

The movement in Assassins Creed was one of the few things I liked about it, so if this is anything like that it may be worth a look.
I'm not sold on the first person perspective though, and the heavy breathing would get annoying eventually.

Zeph, I agree the first person has a chance to fail, but I think DICE will have spent sufficent time ensuring it has a chance with the game playing public

hehe heavy breathing, i gues we will have to see how much is in the final game

Yeah if they get it right it will work. My absolute favourite game series was Thief, and that had rooftop jumping in first person that worked just fine.

looks interesting Mr Zonbie

I had seen some stills from this a while back and really wanted to see it in action, so thanks.

The concept is great, in that it's quite different from anything else, so huge kudos to them for that.

Let's hope they can pull it off.

If this is as good as I'm hoping, it just might be enough to sell me the console.

It's being released on PC and Xbox 360 too, not just PS3.

I can't imagine playing, say, Tony Hawk or the similar parts of Prince of Persia from this perspective - be too hard to control. I think this might suffer from the same fate. I mean, how many times have you wished your FPS had more jumping puzzles?

*cheese

The graphics remind me of my Commodore 64, which had sprite technology.

As an avid gamer I hate to say this, but I won't be surprised if some kids will try to emulate this with tragic consequences.

I mean, just watching that makes me want to go run around on rooftops, and I'm an old fart with severe vertigo.

That would be evolution in action my friend.

LOL yes
I am afraid that follows the same line as "But you can do that in the Matrix!"
Parkour is an interesting sport though

Also, kids, emulate....thats what kids do...

She looks like Nic Endo from Atari Teenage Riot, doesn't she ?

The concept developped in this video was very appealing ... until the "player" used a gun, again ...

Btw, i want this game on my desk, NOW !

btw, I love the art style for this

Photo realistic is just not always the best...

And yes I am sold on the idea of buying a console for stuff like this

^Zonbie

Couldn't be more agree with that. Photorealism isn't the only way. Just look at games like Okami.

I can see someone making a video of how their first jump will be into a brick wall... FPFP (First Person face plant) is going to be fun to watch...

I'm sure everyone thought of the Matrix when first seeing this. I wonder how it would play with some guns and an Agent chasing you as you desperately try to find the nearest phone booth...

Wow, this game looks absolutely amazing. Hopefully I'll be able to get my hands on it.
