Reticule off.

The enemies are really innacurate on normal difficulty. I layed on the ground for a full minute while 4 of them stood over me and shot around. Finally, after I turned my head to look into their eyes did one of them finally hit me with some bullets.

I really hope you can customize the controls. I don't like them the way they are right now. If the console versions don't let you, I may go PC on this one. The sixaxis controls are pretty nice in this, though I actually wish they were a little more sensitive!

Currently I am working on the wall-run turning air kick thing. The timing for it is really unobvious.

After you run up the stairs to go out onto the final roofs, if you turn left instead of right to go out the door, you can climb up some stacks to get up to an exposed vent shaft----but you can't climb on top of it and crawl around :(

Yay, I broke it. You haven't demoed correctly until you've found a tasty glitch.

she has man hands

just wanted to point that out

[Max Cola]

I imagine you'd need big, tough hands if you were leaping across buildings and grabbing things.

I got a glitch landing on the blue fence from a big building jump where the animation for the grab wouldnt play, I got stuck on the fence and I had to ajust her back into position to grab it again.

I totally expected a crotching animation whenever I jumped at a railing in an awkward angle too. You disapoint me DICE.

I need this game.

I just played the demo today and fuuuuuuck.

It has never felt so good to move through three-dimensional space, not even in real life.

Sonic done right?

It would be closer (better?!) if she didn't stop on a dime from a full-tilt sprint.

I told myself I was going to buy one more game before Christmas and that it was going to be Gears of War 2.

But then I played this demo.

FUUUUCK!

[CubaLibre]

Wonderful. I'm disappointed that the demo level is just the same thing we've seen in the preview videos a million times, though.

i really hope you can reconfigure the controls in the full version. i plan on fighting as little as possible so having the main two buttons in the upper left is a total handcramper.

with all the duh-duh messages in the tutorial (you should either attack or run away from the enemies! WHOA REALLY) it never expressed how important it is to have the camera at the right angle to grab things, which lead to some early frustration.

i didn't mind the cartoon.

menu music is tite as hell

[analogos]

You can reverse the shoulder buttons in the demo.

[TheTigerHobbes]

The aesthetic in this game is pretty incredible. It looks like they had some really professional graphic designers on handy when conceiving it.

[UnitedBiscuits]

[Isfet]

so is this demo available for everyone or just people who reserve the game?

[analogos]

Demo's open to anyone, but you can't do the time attack mode without a pre-order code. The free section is a tutorial and a couple escape sequences.

[spinach]

These are men who played Super Mario 64 and said "what the fuck is this shit?" before throwing the cartridge at the wall, in a flat arc, hard enough to both shatter the cartridge and embed a corner of the bare pcb into that wall, a semipermanent display of rage for anyone who would dare mention the title and the word "masterpiece" on the same breath.

[analogos]

[Dracko]

Yes.

better: if valve had ever known a perfect summer's day

yeah, i was really glad that radio voice aside the gameplay and aesthetic stayed true to the blissful feel of that original trailer, when the footage that came after seemed like it might be veering off into more generic territory. of course, the demo was the original trailer, so we'll have to see where the rest of the game goes. but at least they didn't ruin it or promise something that wasn't there.

[Mikey]

Playing this game with some pumping techno in the background seems like a pretty good idea.

Ratatat is a good match for this game, I think.

[boojiboy7]

Man here is th conflict.

PS3 version is the favored one, right? But 360 has the custom soundtrack support guaranteed. Goddammit.

[Toptube]

[boojiboy7]

Well the problem is, it requires the devs to integrate it into the game, similarly to how the original Xbox did, and we saw how that got used, rarely.

[Toptube]

What is the 360's method then? I'm not familiar...

[skelethulu]

On the 360, when a game says "play song A now!" it can be intercepted and squashed by the currently playing custom soundtrack. So devs do nothing.

On the PS3, there is no "play song A now!" function built in (or at least, there wasn't at first). As such, when the user starts up a custom soundtrack the game has to stop playing its music.

[boojiboy7]

Even more so, the game itself has to be programmed to turn of its music and stream other music from the harddrive into its sound. The 360 basically says fuck your music and goes right over it.
