Holy-If this game is everything that it says it is I may have very well found the perfect game for me. It looks absolutely fantastic and from what I've been able to gather about it one of the main goals of the game was to blur the lines between single player and multi-player allowing you to complete the entire campaign alone, with a team, or with a team against another team. The graphics look fresh and fantastic. It's set for release spring 2011 and I can't wait.

Sadly, it's going to suffer because of its console counterparts. The ability to move swiftly and with alacrity on mouse and keyboard is unparalleled, porting a game with such potential to platforms where the input device is almost exclusively a controller will hamper the action so dramatically it may not even be worth playing.

Haha . . . That's a cinematic advertisement. The game will not look like that on any platform, these videos are created by a bunch of animators and artists camping out in a dark room detailing and including every last camera pan and grain of sand.
Moreover it would be impossible to program the ability to perform those moves into any game. For example, running up that wall and side-flipping would lead to finicky controls: either you'd have to stop and precisely ebb your way into the correct position to pull off the stunt or you'd get people magically teleporting back to that wall and moving up it, it would either cause unfairness or be too difficult to do in any practical situation.
I don't doubt Bethesda or the development team, I simply think this game is going to lose momentum and will never compare to the cinematic video. Graphical detail of that magnitude is simply unprecedented, you'll never see that in a game of this generation of consoles or PCs.

Well yeah, which would be why I actually looked at demos of the game bot just the trailer.
For example, running up that wall and side-flipping
Many parkour games such as Assassins Creed allow you to do moves similar to that, running up a wall and jumping to the side is nothing new.

Good. However, all I'm arguing is that you shouldn't advertise the game's outstanding graphics with a cinematic advertisement.

Assassin's Creed required directional controls and button presses in co-ordination, correct? I was a bit short-sighted in what I said and was talking about one-button actions. Nonetheless, being able to pull a stunt off like that when you've got veteran gamers aiming at you on analogue stick will slow the controls drastically.
And I know. I played a few hours on Mirror's Edge. >.> I'm interested by SMART.
Anyhow, nothing looks new. Customisation looks like APB, shooting looks like Call of Duty, parkour looks like Mirror's Edge and America's Army, objectives look like Section 8, I'm hoping that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

I suppose that would be the basic goal, I'm interested by the massive addition of multilayer but I'm hoping there will be more modes to play than just campaign.

Maybe not the best choice in retrospect; however it did show the graphical style well and the graphics are good.
