SEGA's upcoming Binary Domain was one of the more memorable surprises of E3 this year; the squad-based third-person shooter is currently set for a February 2012 release.
The plot and aesthetic is pure popular science fiction, conjuring up images of Will Smith's star vehicle I, Robot, as well as Spielberg & Kubrick's AI. However, this is merely the foundation. Although the white armoured robots are familiar staples of this genre, they actually look exceptionally detailed.
Set in 2080 in Tokyo, the plot clearly doesn't take itself too seriously; this is illustrated by buying ammunition from Japanese vending machines branded "Ammunition Transport Japan", the logo being a stork holding a box of weapons.

Binary Domain puts players in the middle of a fast-paced and intense battle for humanity in robot-invaded 2080Â Tokyo. Fighting through the derelict lower levels of the city, players control an international peace-keeping squad that soon starts to question their surroundings and the choices they are making. Are the robots becoming more human, or are humans becoming more like machines?
