Phahtrox: I feel that I'm the only one who want's this game.

Fact sheet so far...
1. You play as Raymond Bryce, a former US marine.
2. You fight an organization called SURGE.
3. The controls are quite different than most games, with good use of quick time events, clever game controls, minigames, and being a rail shooter.
4. layers will also have to keep an eye on meters for Ray's stamina, heart and lungs, which can be depleted by strenuous activity and exposure to smoke and poisonous fumes, and replenished by eating food or taking in deep breaths of clean air respectively.
5. During the game players will be able to improve Ray's skills including his strength, accuracy with firearms and mental concentration by collecting "Survival Points" earned by rescuing civilians, while "Battle Points" earned from killing SURGE members can be used to purchase and upgrade Ray's weapons and equipment.
