Back in 2007 Crysis was discussed because of unbelievable graphics, and "will it run Crysis" computer demans, however it was also innovative in terms of story telling and open gameplay options. They achieved a difficult objective, which is giving a player tons of options, lots of freedom without making the player feel lost and confused. Now they present great graphics, but at the same time many games look good.
I don't think that we need really innovative shooters now, as there are many great designs, however usually the money is burnt on non-gameplay stuff. This reminds me playing non-computer RPGs - different GM's had different styles and one that I had opportunity to play with was capable of designing and following a story in a really open world, where you had an idea what to do next - so no artificial constraints, but at the same time we knew what we should do. It's the storytelling, and I don't mean epic Hollywood-style action, which is linear and expectable as hell, but something really fun and rewarding (or punishing) you for your choices.
In my opinion game studios should look for good GM's to help them with the story - both the initial script and the way it's presented to the player, and use the best practices and features of the successful games, eg. lots of design choices from Half-Life, Crysis, Hitman, Splinter Cell, Thief,etc., as well as look for the features that made some less-known games awesome, eg. Chronicles of Riddick. Several years ago, when the game couldn't look good, they were all about fun, and it seems that now it's often like 10% fun, 90% rest. I do hope that game engines will evolve in a way that makes them easier rand more flexible to use, so the companies can just buy one, adapt (or even buy a customized version), and just focus on what make the game cool.
I really wonder when we get to see some new gameplay mechanics.

Cool video, the Typhoon seems amazing and a lot of fun!
Also, the game play seems more action packed, something that looks for the better.
As for the game play and story telling, i don´t expect significant changes.

Clearly the only limitation to this would be ammo, but eh, if you're feeling like a cheat, there's always a way

Everytime I heard the gun shoot, I thought I was in inception.

Just not too bothered about this still, even if i was sitting here with twice the amount of gpu power i believe i'd still feel the same.
Hopefully it has something unique.

Wonder if Hilbert will get game early for a GPU Benchmark Performance Article, hopefully it's released same day as game if there is one. Damn i just know i ain't gonna get that Ultra detail i'm used to with this single gpu.

500 rounds a second? That may sound impressive, but the highest fire rate for a single barrel with current technology (Metal Storm prototype) does 750 rounds a second. The funny thing? The prototype consisted of 36 barrels
The claimed efficacy of it was 750 rounds per barrel, and over 1.62 million rounds per minute. In official verified testing, it shot at around 500 rounds per second per barrel. So, I'm guessing the concept of this 'magical' gun is actually based on actual current technology.
Considering the video shows it has 10 barrels, if it were Metal Storm tech it could actually fire at a 'guaranteed' 5000 rounds a second. In other words, Typhoon sounds good, but considering the year and the effort behind it due to 'the war', it kinda sucks
. Ironically, the speed of Metal Storm has probably let it down as it fires so fast that it is even beyond practical for most defence applications.

If anyone is wondering if their system can run the game here is a System analyzer that will tell you if you're good for recommended or optimal. Works for any game.
First time you run it it will give you the option for a manual install which DOES NOT use Java. I chose the manual route and it was very fast.
