Subversion, make your guess!

The Matrix-eske strategy game.
You recruit hackers and gunmen, you buy guns, rob banks, hack computers, inflitrate buildings, crash helicopters.
There will likely be some huge mega-corp or seemingly evil government, and you'll play the rebels.
You'll know they're evil, but not to much. You need to gather information, deployment scheduals, cargo lists, and use the information gathered to steal equipment, capture technicians, and so on and so forth.
Basically, you'll play Morpheus. And you'll be subverting the system to attack the evil empire. And you'll be hunted depending on what you do.
Instead of most games, where you play this awesome hero where you're a nearly unstoppable warrior, in this you'll be the hunted rebels, fighting against impossible odds.
That or you play Agent Smith. With a new rebel every weak. Whatever the case, I'm expecting something a bit like the original X-COM

Maybe it will be an FPS. No, it is far too wast and simple for this, though it would be über nice to have something like it implemented.
Maybe it is a strategy game. But what would be the point in physics, though it would be über nice to see a RISK type game in this.
My guess is:
The game will be about expanding a faction of people through takeovers of floors, buildings and blocks. Defending what is taken over and expanding as much as possible.
Infiltrating enemy grounds without the enemy knowing, sabotaging systems and the likes. But really, it is difficult to say at this point.
One thing I would like to see is buildings under construction/destruction, so that the city would change during gameplay.

That would actually be interesting...although I imagine difficult to balance.
Do you actively seek out his posts to do this?xander wrote:coolsi wrote:NeatNit wrote:Uplink sucks.

But really, I truly think it sucks.

Hidden hint: In the first picture, it has shown more than the viewing window, with buttons such as blueprints, email, and such.
Growing on that, we get single person, or maybe very small group.
Based on the doors, it will be played from first or third person.
Beyond that, it is hinted at to possibly be either an infiltration game or a combat game.
Judging how Introversion rarely does the popular thing that is really just overhyped, it will focus on stealth and avoiding combat, but probably have combat as a lesser solution.
The lack of extreme physics but existance of simple physics says that it will be simulating the nearby blocks, but not the whole city at a time.
The current graphics appear more of a placeholder, but it appears that you will view "blueprints" like that from some screen or menu.
The detailed elevator and door mechanics shows that it won't be simply a nearly unpopulated area, but the engine would be unable to simulate full city population, so it must be abstracted, so a couple thousand people at once at most, more likely hundreds or less.
Will have computer hacking, maybe even electrical hacking.
Could be an assasination sim, but more likely to be focused on infiltration and group psychology(blend in with the office crowd?).

See the images? It has a forum, email, blueprints, and contacts button.
Like uplink, but more in-character, and focused on physical infiltration instead on digital, but still with digital.
But most of all, it will ba a game that I REALLY want to play.
