Namco Bandai released a new developer documentary for the upcoming third-person, shooter, Dead To Rights: Retribution. The new video dev doc features an in-depth look at the melee combat, weapon disarming and picking off enemies using a wide range of various weapon types.

According to the recent press release…

The seamless combat system for Jack blends gunplay, hand-to-hand and an AI-controlled partner Shadow to provide full freedom for players to choose how to get through any combat situation. With no loading or change in menus between each set of mechanics, the player can easily access all three toolsets and decide what to use at any time.

The system affords for players to mix-and-match the use of Shadow, hand-to-hand melee combat, disarm techniques and gunplay. The video documentary features all of the aforementioned gameplay elements all rolled up into one nice, head-bashing, dog-eating, rifle-shooting montage.
