This is exactly what I had hoped Mercs 2 was gonna be like, only better. This looks like the best destruction since BF Bad Company, and hopefully it transforms the gameplay just as much. Can't wait.
One of the things I enjoyed about the first Bioshock is that you really had no clue who you're character was. If I remember correctly, He only spoke once and you never saw his face or learned his name. It gave you a feeling that the player themselves were the protagonist. I think it's wrong to assume that just because the grown up Little Sister is in the trailer that means she's the character you play. There were tons of Little Sisters and I can't see why any one of them would have some sort of special powers the rest don't. I think if anything, the girl may be the last remaining Little Sister that everyone wants for themselves, and your character is trying to protect her during the war that the first game's bad ending put into motion.
It seems like a wider range of examples could be used instead of the three times Drake's Fortune is mentioned. Like the water, what about Bioshock? That game was all about the water!
I can't believe Yahtzee did a piece for Gamesradar! If you haven't seen his Zero Punctuation videos you NEED to see them. Agree with him or not, you have to admire his sense of humor. And his kick-ass hat.
I was a little disappointed with the destructible environments. I didn't find myself blowing holes in anything like you do in BF Bad Company. You don't even look like you're doing any damage to the buildings, you just keep hitting them until they're life bar hits 0 and it collapses in a totally scripted way.
