ubisoft executive: it wont sell,the character is not muscular enough,and a whip? are you kidding me a whip? it needs a gun bigger than it torax
and what are all these colors? where is the gray and brown tones?
and you have to do more than just shoot? for real? you expect someone to press another button instead of the shoot button?dont you see how confusing that is? see thats why I am in this positiona nd you are not....

also from the video

Note from Destructoid: "[clarification from Vergne Fanny] states that this was not an Ubisoft project, but a personal one between several collaborators."

Looks like Half Life 2 meets the newest Tom Clancy game...

Looks quite cool.

Looks like it is a game where you press A to make cool shit happen. No way you can actually control a character well enough to make one hit pistol shots on flying attackers or slide and shoot at the belly of a big robot.

Imagine...if that was the case.

Cool previs, would be hard to get that kind of game play working tho.

Yeah. Cinematic game basically. The video was cool though.

"Previs?"

I'm also with Dan. Too hard to make the kind of actions in that pre-rendered animation happen in a game.

 

[Remus]

Well either way I really like the colorful European city + sci-fi elements art direction.

Pre-visualization demo, they're used to pitch the concept to the execs of the publisher. Heavy focus on visuals, actual gameplay is not really a concern (as evident in the video).

 

[Bad^Hat]

Yep, if you take it by concept alone it seems pretty generic, average looking guy with backpack shoots robots in a city. Woo. I'm sure there would've been more to it than that, but that 'pitch' isn't really giving much away except "look how cool this game could be but never will!"
