I read it as a FPS/RPG, not like Deus Ex, VtMB, or Hellgate: London. More like a squad based shooter, like Ghost Recon, that type of combat, but there are also upgrades, npcs, quests etc...

The RPG elements were played down in the interviews and marketing. Where as the games mentioned above, aren't really FPS games with RPG elements, because aiming and movement are not so important.

I'm not a big BioWare fan , but Baldur's Gate and KOTOR are well made, very well made, and if Jade Empire wasn't crippled, it too would have been well made. I'm going to watch this one develope, although chances of me getting a Xbox 360 any time soon, pretty slim.
