Man I'm so excited for this. The comments about the HUD have merit, but I imagine that if the game truly is as challenging as they say, not having a HUD would be akin to a super-hard/realism mode or something, which might be included.
First time seeing the synthetics, then hearing about the human>synthetic>alien dynamic tickled me inside. A simple but creative way to make the game far more interesting and tense. Also can't wait for that creepy Ash feel, lol.
I really hope this game succeeds. The franchise needs something good so badly.
