Also power loader
Sword circle... grabbing each sword one by one to slash... sounds familiar...
Some sort of giant ghost whale eating kamikaze goblins

Looks like it's going to be a complete remake of the 2nd game and if you haven't played the 2nd game, GO DO IT NOW.
Well that was quick... less than a week posted and it's gone. They were short 2 minute videos that were basically the old trailers with some added in-game footage. It was showing off some of the kill animations, such as aliens being able to impale a soldier's chest with their tail or bite off...
Have some slightly updated gameplay videos:
