Did anyone get to play the demo yet? This game looks disgusting good. The water is better than any i've seen in a game, and it just plays beautifully. The first five seconds of the game is you swimming out of a hellfire wreck of a plane crash, then entering a pitch black building only to be greeted by a fascist-style statue with the banner "No Gods or Kings, Only Man." Then you go underwater and the game begins. It's so wicked. Can't wait to play it, though I'll be playing it on 360 since I don't have a PC that could possibly handle it.
Apparently, the big gist of this game is being able to genetically modify your character and to use the environment as a weapon. For instance, if someone is standing in water, you can electrocute the water with a lightning bolt and shock said person in water. Using telekinesis allows you to catch grenades in mid-air and throw them back at people. And more fun stuff. You can hack security drones to fight for you as well if they don't shoot you full of ribbons first.
The setting is unique as well. It takes place in this sort of utopia colony ran by an industrialist who was tired of being regulated by government in the 1940s. Then, after gathering the biggest and brightest, he built an underwater city in the Atlantic Ocean called Rapture, totally self-sufficient with power run by volcanic subterranean openings. a full-scale genetic arms race broke out when someone discovered a sea slug that secretes pure stem cells, and the utopia was ruined, and all the residents turned into horrible mutants. You drop in around 1960.
It's made by the guys behind System Shock 2, which explains a lot.
