Usually, we wouldn't be all that excited by a cutscene that largely takes place within a stuffy US government round table discussion, complete with gruff military types barking at one another, but this cinematic sequence from Binary Domain has a rather unexpected twist at the end, as robots resembling humans start emerging from Japan.

Seen as a threat to the US, the so-called 'Hollow Children' begin cropping up all over the place, breaking a law put in place to prevent human robots from ever being built. Obviously, someone has broken that law, and so the world is a dangerous place in the year 2080, where your best mate could be a cybernetic organism. Best send in the Rust Crew to sort things out then...

The new video is slightly spoilerific, but well worth a watch, as it pretty much establishes the set-up for Binary Domain, which will be releasing on February 24th in Europe and February 28th in North America. There'll also be a Japanese demo landing on February 1st. For more on Binary Domain, check out our latest preview.
