Yeah, they seem to be marketing it about as aggressively as Sega markets anything. Not that the marketing campaign has anything to do with how good the game is (WILL IT BE A MAINSTREAM FAILURE OR A CULT HIT? OMG).

you can watch the first hour of the game being played by a total loser here:
(

he starts off saying he will play it suave/James Bond style since members of the site could vote for his playstyle, then continues to play it JackBauer style and shooting everybody in the face with a untrained shotgun from 30meters distance and then gets lost in some dark areas of the map, constantly repeating "I think I should adjust the gamma of the TV" without every doing it. Some of the comments by his friends are good though. The footage of him playing is just sad. But it shows
- hillarious animations, death or combat-wise
- hillarious AI that's also pretty good at the same time
- maps look OK with enough alternative routes and even some galleries / vertical fighting
- some minigames
I'm still excited about it and eagerly await release. Let's hope there's not too much action and enough RPG in there.

OH no, not
that video. I found him and his friends' comments annoying. I sincerely hope that this is not the kind of personality to expect from most people who work in the gaming industry. *shudder*
Well, if they're starting to market now, it's a recent flurry.

they constantly dripfeed with commentaries, characterbios and developer walkthroughs. If you hit AP on youtube you get a few pages worthy of material. They just throw a little more than usual at you for the last month. I'm sure it's a big gamble for SEGA, just look at the comments on most of the video-sites, usually they go like this:
I am a tru gamer and gameplay always comes first but look at this, it looks like from 2009, textures are bad, where is the AA and can I have sex like in ME ? and why can't I play female shepared/aehm thornton. I like to support small devs but where is the multiplayer ? this looks like ME with guns on earthif you have to fight those odds, well, ....I wish them luck

Your example's spelling is too good, uses correct grammar and doesn't have 101 lols or rofls randomly interspersed with its drops of wisdom.
But apart from that it's spot on.
mothra on 22/5/2010 at 17:33
and it has been leaked already....not that it surprises, but before official release....poor obsidian - or sega ?
gunsmoke on 22/5/2010 at 20:57
Everything I heard was that it was a fake.
Zygoptera on 22/5/2010 at 22:45
Yep, too small by something like 2gigs for the one I'd heard about.
Jason Moyer on 22/5/2010 at 22:55
The one I saw was 7 gigs. I'm more than content with waiting another week though.
