So I was looking over the forums and realised to my dismay that there was no thread for this. And that's terrible, because it looks really good.

As you can see, it's an over the top Duke Nukem esque FPS with a combo system that rewards you for pulling off ever more eleborate kills. So shooting someone in the head might score you a few points, but whipping them towards you, booting them in the face, then launching a grenade at them while they're in the air earns much more.

The game is set on a once thriving human colony planet that has been overrun with some form of alien infestation, everything from vaguely human-like mutants, hostile plant life and giant Godzilla beasts are in, as well as the waring human factions fighting for survival.

Weapons range from the mundane machineguns and miniguns, to the more eleborate quad barrelled shotgun and a weapon that fires out a pair of grenades on a chain that wrap around enemies. More over the top weapons have yet to be revealed, though it's said they've taken inspiration from Painkiller. Weapons also seem to come with alternate fire modes (I'm pretty sure that shotgun was also able to fire incindiary rounds there).

Overall it looks fun, the world looks interesting (and a nice change of pace from gritty realism/soldiers in power armour), the bosses look terrifying and it has a sense of humour which seems to be actually funny.

I'm excited. Are YOU excited??
