I'll reserve judgement until I see more actual gameplay and unedited cutscene footage, but everything is off so far, especially if they were positioning it as a return to BG form. But who knows whether this was just drivel cooked up by marketing that wants a return on it's budget or it reflects the tone of the game.
I hope they aren't just thinking "we're gonna let them scroll to an iso perspective, that'll shut them the fuck up" and then tried getting a hold of Linkin Park's agent.
