Maybe my brain is just fried, but I found this preview pretty hard to follow. What the hell is going on?

Marcinko was an odd guy, he set up Red Cell which tested security at naval bases, allegedley incuring the wrath of the brass when his team were a bit to brutal on the navy guys, like interrogating them for access codes...

He is like a real life version of Steven Seagal, only less fat

Oh and the game looks awesome

Wow. It's Preview the Juvenile Generic Unoriginal Tripe day. Did originality go on summer holidays early this year? Or did Christian really p*ss off someone in Eurogamer Towers, and has been sentenced to games hell to replace Ellie?

One man army blah blah finishing move blah blah commies blah blah nukes save the world blah blah pithy remark bang crash exploding barrel stab spurt yawn. Killer ponytail? Oh joy. It's Steven Segal's Back Catalogue, The Game.

Last year seemed so full of joy and win for original games. Did we use it all up?

Hadn't heard of this game before the preview and after reading it I'm still not sure what ground this game is trying to break. Other than most cliché game of 2009. Seriously, could they fit any more in?

I think 3william56 has perfectly summed up the impression this preview gave me. If you think that idea sounds awesome, then maybe you'll get something out of this. For the rest of us, the less you think about it, the better.

But I played a good Rogue Warrior game on my Playstation 2 a couple of years ago? He was blue though, might not have been the same dude..

@mkreku: You are probably refering to Rogue Trooper. That game was about some kind of comicbook superhero, so he might have been blue. Also, that game was pretty good, whereas this looks... well... let's not go there.

This game was being done by a studio linked to Bethesda as publisher a few years ago. Have Rebellion picked it up now?

I recall at the announce they talked up the idea of random multiplayer map "tiles", one picked by one side, and another picked by the other, with a totally random middle section picked by the AI. Seems that has been jettisoned.

Pete Hines personally cutthroated those first few concepts. I'm not even lying.

Where "concepts" means "living human being prototypers who didnt pass muster"?

Bethesda's all over the place this year. I guess Fallout 3 really freed up some investment capital for them.

Pretty much.

Seriously though, he confirmed that the original project by Zombie Studios has been canned and that Rebellion reworked it into this.

It's a shame they appear to be making it into a Splinter Cell skin then, instead of doing something like the insert missions into active theatres of war like "Dick" himself recounts in his books. Soft skin power boats, hand signals, wait outs on bluffs overlooking enemy radio camps, the works.

Plus, there could have been a "punch out your superior officer after a mission you lost a man in" mini game :(

@Indy: Yeah, thanks, that was it. I found it and it is indeed Rogue Trooper. Very under-appreciated little game.

could we not have reviews down the left and previews on the right?

I keep clicking on previews by accident and reading far in before I realise it is not a review (and previews interest me not one jot)

"The first attempt at a Rogue Warrior game returned to the drawing board because the approach taken didn't have enough character, according to Rebellion's publisher, Bethesda Softworks."

Bwahahaha. Irony.

Rebellion's output was... spotty in the recent years. Rogue Trooper was pretty good (except what reef did to the Wii version) so I am kind of, sort of hoping they could actually do something along those lines for Rogue Warrior... However, the preview really sounds... soul crushing. Or at least as generic as it gets.

Oh, how nice and relevant, I had been wondering about this very game not two days ago and had even forgot what it was called. Of course what I was interested in was the original project, the one that apparently got the cut, and this sounds like a very marginal release. Oh, Rebellion of Rogue Trooper times, where are you?
Also, @3william56: hehe!
