I don’t quite know what to make of this latest trailer for Tecmo Koei Games’ Quantum Theory, a game many have dubbed the ‘Japanese Gears of War.’

It shows some pretty excellent CG cutscenes with an… interesting editing technique, with cuts of in-game footage thrown in here and there in-between the high quality cinematics, which ends up being quite jarring (the game doesn’t look too hot, visually).

Overall, an… unusual sort of trailer for a game that is pretty straight-forward (mechanically speaking) what with its cover-based shooting gameplay. Story-wise though, it looks anything but straight-forward…

You can have a look through El33tonline’s previous coverage of Quantum Theory for a batch of screenshots, another trailer, and more information.

The game was supposed to already have been released, but was delayed by the publisher to get it just right.
