You mean gampelay videos? We are still over a month away from this game getting a review. I'm optimistic because the devs said their favorite games were Fallout 3 and Diablo 2. Can't get a better mix than that. He also said he loved Fallout but couldn't help thinking that co-op would have made it even better. Looks like me and him are on the same page. I wanted 2 things after playing Fallout, vehicles and co-op...my pleas are being answered. I like the art style, and the gameplay certainly doesn't look broken. So I continue to have high hopes.

I've got very high hopes for this one. All indications point to an outstanding game. I know the guys at my local Gamestop really well, and the manager there just went to a Gamestop Convention that was just held a few weekends ago in Las Vegas. He was able to try it out firsthand and said he really enjoyed it. I'll be picking up the PS3 version myself, but my son is getting it on his 360. Hehe, even though I can imagine some of the responses this next phrase will get, cross platform co-op would be awsome for it.

this game looks x9873985624596874539 better than left for dead. awesome looking co op, great graphics, great looking humor because of the comic book-esqe graphics, good level system for a fps. if they are hoping to go for a fallout/diablo 2 mix with humor and unique graphics i'm DEFINITELY picking this up.

Big hit -- both in sales and reviews, I think. It'll be that big surprise that everyone embraces.

this game has a lot of potential. if done right(from what ive seen in tons of gameplay vids the devs have the right idea) it will be an Epic Adventure. i just cant wait for this game. looks awesome.

I'm totally looking foward to this. Its definitly going to be a hit. I dont think the story part of the game will be as indepth as fallout 3 though. But the action part will be awesome.

Hit ! Its like L4D and Fallout had a baby and inject it with steroids everyday. Except in BL when you're the black guy, or the girl, or the big guy, its because they have abilities.

i'm saying hit, i like the drop system they have in place, going after epic gear in WoW was one of my favorit things to do. That simple idea of getting better gear and the gambling effect seems highly addictive. In some great games i get board fast when i have all the rare stuff, like in oblivion, but to get the random drops with so many possibilities seems fantastic to me.

Certainly a better reception than i had thought! I was under the idea that there was only a few people who were looking forward to this (like alpha protocol) but the cool art system, consistent characters, what looks to be amazing co-op, 87 bazillion (generated by machines :O ), huge varied world and creatures.....rhis games got it all!

There's still plenty that could go wrong, guys. Controls could feel 'off'. Hit detection could be bad. Missions could be repetitive and mind-numbing. The much hyped 'gajillion weapons' feature could be not nearly as exciting as it was made out to be. Could be glitches. Could be exploits that make the game way too easy.Save function could be frustrating. Inventory system could be badly thought out. Different classes could be unbalanced.

There's just so many things that can go wrong in a video game that wont be apparent by hearing the developers talk about it or seeing gameplay footage. As the OP said, there's been lots of games that have looked to have some incredible potential only to be ruined by some unforseen flaws.

I'm hoping as much as anybody that the game will be great, but I also know to not get too hyped over a new IP as it could just lead toa massive disappointment.

Game looks pretty sweet, still not sure about the MAJOR graphic style change but I kinda like it anyway, if it is anything like fallout 3 minus VATS then this game should be awesome, just don't make the gameplay feel bad lol :D

@seankane and @chaoscougar1 spoiling the fun :P

But in my opinion it looks like it's going to be really good. I'll most likely get it real early (Day 1 potential) but I may look and see how it does in some other new media before I take the full plunge. I'm preordering it next week when I go get my pre-order copy of ODST so we'll see how that goes.

I think the game has potential. Will definately buy it. Too bad about the new art style, but as long as it plays well... love the diablo-esque loot generation system.

dont get me wrong, i think the game has great potential, i love the randomising weapons (reminds me of Diablo 2 my top game of all time) and the RPG elements it brings to the table; levels, skills, classes (once again reminds me of D2) but im not going to say whether its it hit or miss until i actually play the game. Until then, it will have to stick with great potential

I think its kinda like a combo of TF2 (the art) and Fallout or Diablo, plus some Doom :D....but what if you have this EXTENSIVE world with loads of things and your playing it with someone from the other side of the world??? might get laggy
