I hope they give us the option to have Titus keep his helmet on this time, especially in non cutscene combat moments.

This is like winning a lottery when you didn’t even know you had a ticket. I really dug the first game upon release. It was a cracking action game with solid 40K bonafides. And Mark Strong was outstanding, this announcement really made my week. I never expected we’d ever get a sequel.

As usual, dienekes96 is spot on right - what an awesome 'out of nowhere' (for me at least!) announcement this was!

Can't wait to play this game!

As is the norm Alpharius is correct about dienekes96.

Never played the original. And like most trailers, it's all cutscene. What type of game is it?
My age these days has made 1st person shooters make me feel queezy (although I grew up on them). 3rd person doesn't, so I still play those (like most MMOs and the Division, Tomb Raider etc).

It's third person shooter/combat. You had gameplay right at the end of the trailer.

Maybe didn't make it that far. Get tired of cutscenes advertising games when I want to see the game.
Thanks for letting me know. I'll maybe look into this one.

The first one was good cutscenes but the rest was pure gameplay. Dynamic. Hack And Slash is the genre I'd call the game. You'll play in 3rd person with ranged weapons, OR the chainsword / axes / whatever as if you were playing old God of War / DMC games.

At least the first game was the third person hack and slash action game described above with the occasional in game scripted cinematic kill move for a power up as shown below. The first person stuff was limited only to sniper mode of scoped weapons so if that bothers you then you can just not use them. Interestingly for it's time (the height of the Gears of War muddy cover based third person action craze), it wasn't cover based.

The gameplay starts at about 4:30 but the preceding cutscene is cool to watch if you haven't seen it already.

Also no Mark Strong. Manage your expectation people, mine isn't very high,

Oh that's too bad, the voice actor in the first game did a fantastic job.
