I would agree if every inch of the game didn't seem have an American flag plastered on it, and if historically America wasn't even considered a world power at that time. I just think the whole "America as Ogre" theme has been done to death at this point.

I will say that the floating city is very reminiscent of Teddy R's "Great White Fleet", but it remains to be seen how nuanced the story will be. All I can judge right now is what they have revealed, and at this point it feels uninspired, but perhaps they'll expand it a bit.

If Irrational has earned anything, it is the benefit of the doubt.
