This is the accompanying video with more info and Q/A on the game.
- Vampires cannot be killed with just regular bullets, need something vampire specific like stake guns or flares
- Despite being an open world, they have tried to make as many hand-crafted locations as possible.
- Game allows both fast paced shooter style and stealth based approaches to combat scenarios
- They didn't want to make a left 4 dead style game, they wanted to make something different with arkane's DNA. It's more likened to Far Cry.
- Focus is on world building. Was designed to be open world from the concept stage
- Reaffirm that solo is completely solo and you can play with up to 4 players if you want
- No tethering in co-op, so all 4 players can explore the world freely.
- No loading screens through the world.
- Safe houses will unlock neighborhoods/perks etc.
- Multiple difficulty modes
Bolded the best takeaway, a problem that many co-op games suffer.

Arkane's world + ID's first person shooting + vampires = super hyped for me. Will be playing 100% fully solo but the no tethering is huge for those who'll be playing in co-op.
Yeah.
Wonder how it'll work when one character gets to a story cut-scene, will all of them be warped or is it a truly 100% un-tethered experience.
Looks fun. I'm sure it won't be perfect, I'm sure it won't be the worst ever. I'll play it on Gamepass.

Destruction AllStars
Destruction AllStars for PlayStation 5 game reviews & Metacritic score: Destruction All Stars is an action-packed sports event that pits drivers against one another in an intense competition. The goal? Wreck as many cars as possible...
www.metacritic.com
it's going to be interesting to see how it reviews, I do expect it to be a lot higher than 60 though.
GOTY for @adamsapple I think.
everything about it looks dreadful. the art direction is atrocious, i'd be surprised if the gameplay is any good. looks boring to me.
Arkane games always tend to get good followings even if they don't show the best in trailers, see Deathloop, Dishonored and Prey all of which had mediocre reception based on pre-release trailers etc.
I expect this to be a solid game, but maybe not a 92 metacritic.

Tell me you’re a GaaS without telling me you’re a GaaS
It’s the typical gamepass game.
It’s the typical gamepass game.
yer I am seeing about 83% myself.
Fun game with good shooting and power-ups etc, need to see a lot more of the classes though to see how diverse they are in terms of mechanics.
I think the game will really shine with its art direction, I think they are particularly good in some of their settings.
One thing I will say though is, I saw way to much purple in one of the videos, not my favorite color.
I will be totally honest in saying I wish this was a total single-player experience like the dishonored formula just with the vampire setting.
