Another game I've been waiting for.Smilie I'm still slightly dissapointed though because I don't see Talim or LinkSmilie. Maybe they'll be secret characters well atleast thats what I'm hopingSmilie

Talim's a given I think, but I doubt Link would appear tbh.

Looks pretty sweet - nice character models, smooth animation. Not too fond of the "Zelda-effect", i.e. the slightly poo looking grass/cave textures.

Well... it looks boring like hell, honestly. All they do is slashing...

Ya, forgot to touch on that - coSmiliep? Damn fine addition! Can't wait to hack and slash with chums. What this needs is the create your character option from SCIII, that would be fan-bloody-tastic!

There definitely needs to be more as people have said, perhaps some puzzles, exploration and the like.

Looks quite nice, though boringness might be alleviated by the fact you're gonna end up swinging your arms around like a loony anyway.

CoOp will make it great, my only problem with the game is that it's set after Soul Edge & Before SCI, meaning that Kilik, Xianghua, Maxi, Cassandra, any character after that is unlikely to be in it. From the looks of things Sophitia isn't even in it. Basically the character line up teh suk.

It looks pretty unexciting, honestly.

Just looks like a pants hack n' slash game, to me. Not impressed.

Yeah this looks pretty darn good, very smooth, shame about the textures as some say but everything else looks good and remember this game is very much story based. Co Op in the story mode should be fun.

Why couldn't they have given us a fighter, it would've been easier for them too.

Does actually look a lot better than I had thought it would. Seems to control well (players seemed to be able to play it easily enough), which is a good omen. Doesn't look particularly action-packed at the moment though.

As an aside, it occurred to me when watching this that I've been thinking about Wii motion controls all wrong. 1:1 is ridiculous, which I always thought, but it's just occurred to me that the important thing is to actually control the way players move the remote and not worry about accounting for those that indulge in 'Wii-flailing'.

In other words, show players that slow, careful, delibrate timing is important. If devs program motion control like that then it'll get over that stupid 'but the Wiimote can't keep up with my fast movements' shit.

Of course, that's just an opinion.

Hmm, looks like it has some substance afterall, it actually looks like a game.

Did anyone see that real-time character change? I really dont get how that is suppose to be logical....

also, Nightmares left knee is helarious.

But, no Talim = no buy.
