Slightly disappointed there's no coo-op, but the unique multiplayer mode could more than make up for it...

My guess: It's the PVE co-op mode of Resistance 2 but your team will be matched against other players that will control the freaks/zombies/mutants.
This is what I thought as well.

They were pretty clear from the outset that there would be a single player mode...
I thought this as well.
So co-op still possible?
For a game that's supposed to be releasing this year, we know so little about it.

Excellent.

I honestly think this game is going to to be a less funny dead rising.

Huh, so there's MP co-op? I guess I could live with that.
They really need to work on their messaging...

At least ign went to see the game this week probably others too so I'm hoping we get a video even if someone had to steal it or do it off camera

I know nothing about this game, or how it plays, so this information is pretty useless.

Don't care to hype tho title at all, until they actually show some gameplay footage. I need more games for my X1 though, so bring it on.
Seems like there will be coop, just the story/campaign can't be done coop.

Yep, screens and gameplay impressions are nice, but gameplay footage is king if we're to judge how good it is...
There's no base building in this though...

Phil did, and said it looks better than the CG reveal trailor. We will have to wait and see...
Seems like they shown the press the game this week.

To him. Let's try to be clear on that because I really doubt it will look better than the CG to the majority of others.
I think Major Nelson and Mike Ybarra played it a day or two ago.
I just want moar info on this. Pretty hyped
I don't want to sound like a shit talker or a negative Nancy, but this game is totally fucked. It was announced last year and we literally know NOTHING about it. How could anyone be excited about a new IP when the only thing you've seen is a short CG concept trailer from a year ago? Hell, how are they going to educate the public and generate hype for a new IP this quickly before fall? No offense but it's not like Insomniac has that great of a track record. The Ratchet games are good, with the last few being alright, Resistance is mediocre at best and Fuse was a total dud.
Remember that this game will also be competing against Destiny, Call of Duty Advanced Warfare, a new Battlefield game plus Assassin's Creed, Batman, Evolve and a possible remake of Halo fucking 2. Yeah, no pressure guys. It's gonna be dead on arrival and torn to shreds. Xbox gamers aren't going to care about some unknown new IP from a long time PlayStation dev that has a half way decent (at best) history.
Sorry, but that's just how I see it.

I doubt it as well, it would be one of the best looking and stylized games ever....That's why I said we will have to wait and see.....

Nope; we have nothing to go on besides a CG trailer so far. Personally I'm a bit restrained with my expectations of this considering Insomniac's track record of late.

Well, they have the EDGE blow out next week and I assume lots of sites will be covering the game as well. Add to that an E3 stage demo along with lots of footage, more previews, interviews, etc and that's plenty of time to ramp up the publicity for the game.
The launch window is a little worrisome, but if they launch in July/August, they should have a few weeks to themselves.
Yeah, there's literally no way it's going to look as good as the CG. Was a silly thing for Spencer to say as it'll be used against the game regardless of how good it does eventually end up looking.
There will probably be a god amount of games that get announced at E3 and all the hype happens in a few months. It will be up to MS to market the game and get people hyped about it and you don't need a year or more to do that. Destiny has been drip fed because thats what Bungie do and they know it works.
AC and Batman will do well being more of the same and a standard IP. Evolve has way the same uphill struggle as Sunset Overdrive will have, if not more.
Xbox gamers will buy whatever great games come out, even more so if its an exclusive title.
Yeah, but everyone else will be showing their games before, during and after E3 too. Like Fortnite, they probably announced the game too soon and weren't ready to show it. But in the silence since it was announced, they've lost a lot of precious time to generate interest. Now they have to catch up while their competition has already has significant mind share and hype for their games.

I agree, we will have side by side comparisons 5 minutes after we see the first in game footage....
If Epic show off their plans for Unreal, Fortnite is DOA. Game looks like a cool use of their UE4 engine but its hardly making waves. It is s shame that many games get hyped up way too early and then they get dragged out. WatchDogs is in that territory for me right now.
Wait a year until the game is presentable. Once you're 5 months away from release, start a steady stream of information on a monthly basis? At least that's how I'd do it, the less I have to wait, the better.
As long as Microsoft is willing to fund a proper marketing campaign, there should be no trouble.

That's probably why they've decided to get the info campaign rolling now instead of just waiting for E3. I think it'll manage to hold its own, if it's anything like the trailer in terms of art style, that should help it stick out quite a bit amongst the crowd. The free running and more frenetic nature of the game should also ensure that it's not lost in a wave of other games.
I do agree that they wasted a lot of precious time, not even QB went as dark as this game did. I can only assume that they wanted to make sure the game was in as good as state as possible before finally presenting it to the world. After all, you only get one chance to make an impact and we all know what happened with Watch Dogs...
That'll be fun.
It's funny and sad how nobody cares about Fortnite either. It's odd how a PC exclusive free to play game was on the cover of GI. Plus, I think people are burnt out on the cartoony shooters. TF2, Load Out, PvZ Garden Warfare, Super Monday Night Combat, Gotham City Impostors and tons of other indie games. That sub genre is already full. And now Epic is trying to make a come back to PC after they've abandoned it for nearly an entire cycle. Why should PC gamers care? Sure they got Gears 1 and Bulletstorm. UT3 was a disappointment. But outside of those games, Epic has done almost nothing to cater to PC.
And now they're trying to come back....with a watered down Minecraft/ TF2 clone that will undoubtedly be full of pay to win bullshit and in app purchases. A lot of folks are going to pass on that. It really sucks since Epic has a lot of really nice and talented staff. Even worse that Fortnite is the first game from them to show off the UE4. It's not that impressive really. Infiltrator or a new UT would have been much better
Agreed. I think the game looks kinda cool with its building aspect but it seems to be more of a tech show-off for the UE4 engine tools and not the kind of spectacle people expect from Epic. The Samaritan and Infiltrator is exactly what I wanted from Epic. Fortnite? Not so much.
I think E3 is going to be a pretty hard place for some titles to stand out, even harder once the marketing kicks in for their respective launches.
