i think it looks nice visual..very clean, and impressive destruction. But i definatly agree that theres a bad floaty "feel" to it..and looks quite boring really.
For a game called "bodycount" i was expecting boarderlands stats and numbers flying everywhere

did you just say black wasnt very good 0_0!!!!!!!!!!
shame on you>->
Black was good in it's day but I have to say that this game does not even look anywhere near as good. I guess the entire Criterion team as opposed to one former member makes a large difference.
Not much hope for this unless massive improvements happen in both graphical and gameplay departments, kind of looks like the shit on Bulletstorms's bloodstained boots...
You should appreciate the honesty of the developers releasing pre-alpha gameplay footage. Most other devs would release bullshots at this point of production.
Keep in mind that most textures and models are likely to be placeholders and that the game is far from being feature complete, a lot will change in the coming months.
I can't compare it to other games since I rarely see unscripted pre-alpha footage but I interpret it as the devs feeling confident about how the game looks in this stage. If they had problems, they could have released some photoshop bullshots.

well, this isn't killzone, albeit it looks like it t play.
The worst is yhe unispired look and th explosions aren't all that greta after a generation of Bad Company and Red faction: Guerilla. They are underwhelming at best.
gameplay was solid as hell.
the only real minor could be the story.
MetaCritic is such a crutch. It was below average. Hell, the 1up, Gamespot, EGM reviews on that link all agree!
There were some great FPS games to play in 2006. We had games like Halo 2, Half Life 2, Call of Duty 2 and Battlefield 2 for more than a year (or two in some cases). We had the 360 launched too! Black was ultimately garbage next to the best in genre titles that came out surrounding its release. The game really wasn't very good, and since this game wants to be its sequel, I expect it will follow in its footsteps.
i personally don't think they should have used the EGO engine. Unreal Engine 3 or Cryengine 3 would have been much better choices. Suppose it was a money saving thing, sign up with Code Masters to publish the title and get to use the EGO engine for free.
you know i never thought how being able to lean any direction you wanted would affect some gameplay...but this video showed me otherwise. I'm curious now and this IS pre alpha....i might keep an eye on this one

Yup, Black was terrible not just "not very good"
Am I missing something here?
Didn't Criterion make Black?
Codemasters is a whole other development team.
I see. Thanks Wikipedia. It's not the entire that made Black, just "many" of the same people are. Whatever the hell "many means".
from Wikipedia
"In a recent interview, co-creator and designer Stuart Black revealed that plans for "Black 2" were underway, but are now scrapped due to differences with Electronic Arts. Currently, Stuart Black and many of the developers of Black are now working on "Bodycount", a "spiritual successor" to the game which will be developed by Codemasters and released on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 during Q1 2011."

I probably would have scrapped it to.
