There’s also a half-hour long gameplay video.

The video below our article is via PlayStation Underground. It shows PlatinumGames‘ game’s open world aspect, giving us another in-depth look at the androids’ story.

On the PlayStation Blog, some new details emerged about the death mechanics. We’re going to quote: „You are an android. So when you die, what happens? Your memory and data are uploaded into a new body and redeployed into the fray. If you return to where you died previously, you will encounter your former body. At this point, players can do one of two things: retrieve the body for a bonus, or attempt to repair the body. If players attempt to repair, they could be successful and reactivate the body to help in battle. Players can also be unsuccessful, as the body may have become corrupt, causing it to become hostile. If players defeat their former selves, they gain an enhanced bonus.” Interesting mechanics.

The game launches in the West on PlayStation 4 on March 7, followed by a PC release later this year.
