The Story Trailer
I've been anticipating this game for 2 years. It's released on June 9th, this year.
You play a super-powered amnesiac named Alex Mercer. The game takes place in New York City, with a deadly virus that mutates its victims into Zombie/Monsters, spreading quickly across Manhattan.
The character Alex Mercer, is a super human experiment, who has been mutated by the virus, giving him the ability to change his genetic code at will. He can transform his arms into bone claws, turn his arm into a giant blade, transform his skin into metal, give himself thermal vision, etc. He is a genetic weapon. He absorbs everything he kills into his own bio-mass, gaining it's memories, and if it was human, the ability to disguise as that human.
His normal abilities, without using any transformations, are over-powered on their own. He can achieve running speeds of 60mph, he can leap 2 to 3 stories high, he has the strength to lift over 10 tons, and he traverses the crowded New York streets with a Parkour style movement (meaning he'll flip off things, wall run on cars, passe' over objects with his hands, etc...automatically) He can also glide through the air somewhat. He can run up walls, run around cylindrical structures, and survive a fall of almost any distance.
The environment is also impressive, as it has 65-75% accuracy to the real New York City. The streets will be crowded with cars at the busier parts of town, people will always be walking down streets, the Day to Night sequence looks beautiful. When Alex jumps on vehicles, they smash with detail, when he craters the ground from a 100 foot fall, objects will be tossed into the air around him, the groud will crack and shatter apart, like the vehicles.
A quick laydown of the plot so far, is that Alex wakes up on a hospital bed, with no memories. He escapes, and learns of the powers he has...he also learns of the not-so-secret war brewing across the city. The United States military has full deployment, meaning Tanks, APC's, Apache Helicopters, etc. The military is holding a line against the spreading infection, establishing safe zones of the city, buildings are barricaded with men and weapons, pseudo bases and checkpoints are stationed all around the city closest to the infection. The other part of New York City, is in ruins, the streets littered with turned over cars, papers, trash, destruction, and the mutants wandering about, charging any living thing they can see. Delving further, you reach Hives that have a massive population of the mutants being spewed out every minute, the environment is dark riddled with smoke from destruction in the area.
Alex tries to figure out who he is, who made him this way, and why this virus is developing. He has to decide whether he will assist the military, even though it's after him, or help the infection spread, in vengeance for what's happened.
