I just hope they don't fall into the cyberpunk trap and makes things dark, grim, and depressing, simply for the sake of things being dark, grim, and depressing, rather than for an actual narrative reason.
The narrative reason is that the US government collapsed, a few mega-corporations have taken over the world and instituted martial law and most people live in crappy slums.
They should go the totalitarian route.
If done well this could be a good game, my only fear as of now is that that story sounds, what's the word, generic.
And I don't mean generic as in "oh that's just tropes and archetypes, you can't avoid those", I mean, "This is a prime example of the average 90's sci-fi comic story" type generic.
I really hope they handle it well and that their different classes and innevitably different storylines from various factions points of view offer a complex look at the world, mainly showing that no side is right or wrong, but doing what it feels is for the best. So that rebels aren;t automatically good, and coorporations aren't stupid evil, and every side has reedeming and detracting qualities that makes it hard to choose whose really the ones you want to stand with.
Making there be incentives to joining the various sides outside of material gain would be good to, so it's not just picking between hitler, stalin, and po pot when it comes to the factions. Because a rpg is bound to have them.
But I prattled on enough, this games cinematic trailer reminds me of dreed, and that is a very good thing.
