Man this series has been stale for years. SCIV was weak, and this looks like it with some motion blur and a few techniques, but the core crux has no innovations. Any one play soul blade/edge? The first ever souls game. That had an "Edge master" mode, where each character's unique story was told like a book with sketches, and you unlocked their weapons by travelling a map and completing challenges. Yes that's right each character had a different path, none of this weak pick a character then take on the same tower of souls crap that was in SCIV. It also had an arcade mode. I bought souls II-IV each time hoping for the series to get better and it hasn't. It's just stagnated man. It needs new innovations. What about a more interesting parrying system? Or blocking which anims that involve hops for low attacks, and leans and dodges for high and mids. That would really add to the fluidity of combat I believe.

Cool name :)

You should man, ZoE2 is one of the best sequels I've ever played. It's one of those games where they listen to the fans and improve on the previous game in every way. For example, one of the best things about the first game was the environmental destruction.

You could slam another mech (or orbital frame) into a building and watch it collapse. While this looked spectacular, you got a low ranking for this as it killed survivors, which sucked. In the second game however, there's only like two missions where you have to be careful, so you can cause as much environmental carnage as you like :)

You'er seriously in for a treat.

First of all, Ninja Theory are not responsible for the new look to the game, Capcom are:

"The original concepts that came back for Dante were actually extremely close to the Dante everyone knows and loves," Svensson explained. "The feedback that came back from [Keiji] Inafune and [Hideaki] Itsuno was, 'No guys, this needs to be completely different, we need you to go much further and be much more creative.'"

Secondly, while I wasn't really impressed with the trailer I understand that Ninja Theory will produce a more rounded game overall. DMC4 while having amazing combat had a very VERY poor plot and not much to do outside of the combat (go here,,,FIGHT! Get this...FIGHT! Play game in reverse order, WHILE FIGHTING!)

To me their biggest hurdle will be getting the combat right, as those are so very big shoes to fill. But overall I'm happy with Ninja Theory taking the helm. Judging by their track record, they'll deliver a game which is much more rounded and has more depth than the series has ever seen, outside of combat. Heavenly Sword and Enslaved has shown they are not afraid to design intuitive and unique control systems that compliment each game, so I have faith.

A pretty overrated game Imo. I rented it back in the day on ps2 and loved it for the first 4 hours. But after getting to the end several times I got bored as there's nothing left to do. The novelty of your actions reflected in the audio quickly lost its luster too. I'd vote no if I could.

Yeah I feel ya Sonos, it felt like a generic version of a shooter I have played before, with a rocket pack. I didn't even get to the end of the demo, got bored and put in MW2 :p

Wow Rocketeer reference! It's been ages since I've seen that film!

:D

Haha its a film starring Rob Schneider. Disney bought Miramax back in the 90's and so a lot of non family Film's are technically Disney films. For example, Pulp Fiction is technically a Disney film!

I'm going to expose how much of street fighter nerd I am and say, he kinda can remove them at least as a joke. In Alpha 3 One of his win taunts had him take off one of the shackles, and shake his hand before putting it back on again!

i'm not gonna front, that Xbox fan boy is right! I own a PS3 and not an Xbox, but this is a fail. Instead of focusing on stuff PS3 owners actually want from updates, like i dunno err CROSS GAME CHAT FOR INSTANCE?!, they try and boost the sales numbers for overpriced psp mini titles, not by lowering the price but by increasing accessiblity. But they even messed that one up too.

Fail

That's all beautiful and everything (I mean that in the most non sarcastic way possible, as I'll probably end up buying those little suckers) but what ever happened to...

That's what every PS3 owner wants right now. C'mon Sony where is it?
