Futurebrighter promises more of the same, but better 'more of the same'

A new first-person shooter has been announced, right when people are about to get sick and tired of the whole genre. Futurebrighter takes place "on unknown frontiers of a distant univers (sic)". You assume the role of a convicted anti-hero (whatever that is), named Alex Carver. The prison ship you're on is attacked by a mysterious enemy, stranding you. The game will take place in a number of environments, including the prison ship and the exterior of a distant planet. Futurebrighter promises a mixture of action and tactics, with vehicles playing a prominent role in some missions.
