Honky dory TAB

I know almost nothing about DICE`s new game yet with just 7 screens its managed to get quite high on my list. I love the strong visual look (lighting and color scheme looks straight out of HL2) and the consept for gameplay looks like Crackdown meets a FPS version of Assassins creed.

The game concentrates on movement, and aims to expand and reinvent the sense of movement which is currently lacking from first-person games (in the words of senior producer Owen O'Brien, "to place you in the world and convey the strain and physical contact with the environment"). Although the player character can hold weapons, O'Brien stresses, "Principally, this is an action adventure. We're not positioning this as a shooter - the focus isn't on the gun, it's on the person."

Though set in seemingly utopian city environment with low crime and clean streets, the world is also one inhabited by an authoritarian government regime and unbridled levels of surveillance. In this world of communications monitoring, the only way to deliver confidential information between parties is to employ couriers (called runners) to physically deliver the information. The player character controls runner Faith, employing parkour inspired movements to reach her destination. Aside from Faith there are rumors of other potential characters to choose from. This information comes from one of the official sites administrators.
