Codemasters' upcoming game, Damnation, is sort of a futuristic western adventure game that looks like a mix between Tomb Raider and Gears of War in terms of game play. It's a third-person shooter with elements of jumping and grabbing on to ladders, ledges, and other structures.
The game is selling itself on huge landscapes that span for miles and vertical drops, hence 'verticality,' that are thousands of feet deep.
“We really wanted to open up the worlds and give the player freedom of choice,” said Richard Gilbert, Producer in a statement. “In Damnation, you’re presented with huge vistas – you’ll see your objective miles away and you have to intuitively find your path from where you are to that objective. In the same way that the navigation is intuitive, the control of the character is also intuitive. If you want to grab a ledge, you just press jump and grab the ledge. It’s not this disconnected feeling.”

If you were to take the audio to this trailer and place it over a Uncharted Drake's Fortune video then replacing "Damnation" with "Drake's Fortune" each time it was said, I wouldn't be the wiser.
