Hmm, didn't know that Massive is doing the dev for this game. I've played their World in Conflict and the details are awesome during its time. If it's the same set of people in Massive (or at least most of them) doing the engine and the game, it may be a safe bet that the game will have a solid gameplay to go with these great visuals.

It certainly looks very pretty, and the game's idea looks interesting. I hope it's really about wandering in Manhattan though because I don't want to just get carted from set-piece to set-piece anymore in Next Gen.

Me too, I want this to be a full open world Manhattan and not on rails. Time will tell.

The only "new" tech this actually presents is the procedural deformation and destruction. Otherwise everything displayed here is 5+ year old tech, regardless of what the narrator was paid to convince their intended audience.

Also: Tom Clancy is dead!

Also: Also: there is no Santa Claus!

True, but managing to put it all together in one game in high res with near photo-realistic detail without major stuttering is new. This is the first game movie that's made me think I may want a next gen system.
Of course the salesperson plays up (often over sells) the features of their product, that's their job.

...not to mention the quality of the graphics experience versus the gaming system's limitations according to the display you have it paired with, right??

And the fact that this demo wasn't rendered in real time... But it wouldn't be presented unless it works fast enough for those clips to be rendered in theory with a machine that's powerful enough. Procedural desctruction is nothing new but it complexes carefully optimized scenes in unpredictable ways very fast so kudos if they've solved it.
