Square Enix has showcased a Guardians of the Galaxy cutscene that shows off Lady Hellbender, the game's main villain.
The video was released by the official Guardians of the Galaxy Twitter page. The account said, "This is the start of a great love/hate relationship. (Mostly hate)". It also highlighted the dialogue system by saying, "Two wildly different negotiation styles. This can really go either way."

The cutscene seems to take place after the events of the E3 gameplay demo, which had Star-Lord and the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy trying to sneak into Lady Hellbender's castle to pretend to sell her one of the team to make some money. This cutscene shows Rocket sitting on top of the cage, which means that the player in this scenario has chosen to pretend to sell Groot.
Most of the cutscene focuses on Lady Hellbender interacting with Drax and Star-Lord. Interestingly, Lady Hellbender refers to Drax as "The undoing of the Mad Titan" which seems to imply that this game's timeline takes place with Drax already having killed Thanos. It could also be referencing Drax's stated purpose in life, but from how Lady Hellbender interacts with him, it seems like he's already dealt with Thanos.
Although it's still cool to see more interaction between the characters, the main purpose of this cutscene seems to be to show off the dialogue options that are available. Star-Lord is given the option to let Drax flirt with Lady Hellbender to try and steer the conversation or can choose to take over himself. It's not made clear what the consequences of choosing either interaction would be, but it looks like it's just to let the player have some influence.
