THAT (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/45782.html) is how one makes a trailer. I'm sold.

That was definitely one of the best video game trailers I've seen in a long time. Some of the game mechanics confused the hell out of me though. Like how he turned the broken bridge into a fixed bridge into a staircase?
Still, looks like a promising game.

Damn you smelly, I was going to make this thread.
This game actualy has a very cool viral ad campaign. Check out mir-12 (http://www.mir-12.com/).

I am so fucking glad this is coming out for the 360.
Shit, never bothered seeing the trailer. Makes it seem even more awesome.

You basically have the power to alter time with that glove-hand thingo. If I remember correctly you can shift time between 1950 up until something like 2020 or some shit.
The way he change the broken bridge was sending it back in time to when it was fixed, just like how he brought that barrel back to its explosive new state and blew open the door. Also by the looks of it you can throw like time-grenade like things to do similar (the frozen guards etc). I read you can like select a single enemy and age them till they turn to dust.
I didn't know much else until that trailer. Oh, and I think they said the island gets sent back to 1950 or whatever, hence that wierd scene where he's walking along then that huge blue dome goes over you and everything looks new. No idea who that dude that was talking to you and (from the looks of it) gives you the time machine arm thing.

If you pay a little more attention you'll see that the bridge and the stairs are two seperate parts of the game. The bridge is outside and the stairs are inside. It's just because of the strobe effect that it looked like it was one sequential section.

Games about manipulating time are ALWAYS awesome.

This one video clip has just convinced me to spend $60 on a piece of plastic.
In all honesty it does look fun though..

Ah alright well that makes things seem a lot less complicated. I wasn't really analyzing the trailer just taking in all the cool flashy bits. So I guess that's how I missed it jump from the bridge to stairs and then just assumed it was all the same.
I must say, I'm not sure what makes me want to get this more... Is it the cool concept, or the viral ad that made me wish this was something that really happened so I could be like "I know something cool"

This shit was endorsed by fucking USA TODAY for god's sake. I don't think I've ever seen them wet their panties at a video game before.
Also pointed out the obvious similarities to LOST, even though this game was in development long before LOST aired.
