SEGA today officially announced the existence of Binary Domain, a new action game scheduled to release on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 next year.
From the mind of Toshihiro Nagoshi, the originator of SEGA?s incredibly popular Yakuza series of open-world games, Binary Domain is a squad-based shooter set in a robot-infested Tokyo, circa the year 2080, and asks the question: ?Who is Humanity?s Try Enemy??
If that wasn?t deep enough for you, here?s another mind-blower: ?Are the robots becoming more human, or are humans becoming more like machines??
?!
According to SEGA, Binary Domain injects players into the middle of ?a fast-paced and intense battle for humanity,? and will task you with taking control of an international peace-keeping squad that needs to fight through and clear out the derelict lower levels of the city of Tokyo, but soon enough, the above-mentioned questions begin to percolate in team’s think-boxes.
Here?s a bit of copy to go with these philosophical meanderings:
?Binary Domain?s central theme of life is also key to the way the innovative AI system is being developed. The highly advanced AI will make the battlefield a more compelling experience than ever before and players will have to plan their moves strategically and carefully in order to progress through the hostile environments of the game.?
Toshihiro Nagoshi himself commented on Binary Domain and the goals for the title:
?What I wanted to create this time was a dramatic and energetic sci-fi shooter. When you hear sci-fi you may think of cold, clinical environments but with Binary Domain I wanted to combine this with a deep human drama.
?The keyword we have in mind for this project is ?Life?. I wanted to make something that will be accepted by both the Japanese and Western markets and this fundamental theme is something everyone knows, but which the full extent of can be difficult to grasp.?
Senior Vice President of Marketing at SEGA of Europe and SEGA of America Gary Knight also commented on Binary Domain, thusly:
?We are excited and proud to have Toshihiro Nagoshi working on Binary Domain. The game is being developed in Japan yet it is designed for a global audience and will take players into an exhilarating story wrapped into a unique, action-packed shooter experience in a fresh new setting.?
Here?s the lengthy debut trailer for Binary Domain, which looks to feature in-game cinematics and action:
