That gun with the fluid particle shit is fucking awesome. Looks like it will be a fun, if shallow, game.

Word on Fermi is that it should be at least 1.5x faster than GTX 285 in real world (Far Cry 2), while in some heavy compute situations (like hardware tesselation, ray tracing etc. which are not implemented in any current games yet) it pwns ATI's 5870 by 1.5x too, and GTX 285 by a factor of 3 at least...
Nice future-proof GPU, but for real-world current apps, I'm expecting about a 1.5x improvement over GTX 285 on average, which is nice but nothing to write home about imo.
We'll see what they will cook up until release - maybe it will get even better with driver improvements.
I'm mostly concerned about the price. I expect about $600 a la 8800 GTX 3 years ago for the flagship, and perhaps about $450-500 for the nerfed model on release.
