1. I thought this was one of the most highly anticipated games of this year? 720p only? Are you kidding? I had to play this demo in 480p since my TV only handles 1080i. Ridiculous, if you ask me. In fact, considering what we have seen with Lair, MGS4, and GT5, any publisher putting out games at less than 1080p should be embarrassed. Moreover, at 480p there was still screen shearing and slowdown. I really hope they don’t ship this game in a condition that even resembles the demo. This made me very sad indeed.

2. 996M for a demo that takes 5 minutes or less to complete? I guess they used a bunch of the space to add that really long demo movie that plays if you don’t touch the controller on the start page. Personally, I’d rather the demo be longer.

3. Was it just me or did the moves not make a lot of sense? I couldn’t find any kind of good rhythm. The only thing I could figure out how to do consistently was roll. Granted, I am sure more time with the game would remedy this, but t still seems like it is not quite as smooth as it should be.

4. Did I mention how disappointed I am that this game is not 1080p? Ugh…

A) I was in a rush…

B) I wasn’t ALL THAT impressed - it’s good, but it really is God of War. It’s got a lot of beauty, and it’s smooth, but it’s not really anything new. Pray for story.

C) How much in detail can you go in to “Press Square, Win” gameplay?

PS: I didn’t throw the images up I had bossman do it for me because of my rush.

I totally agree though, you can read her lips clear as hell.

Yeah, Nariko’s a cutie I didn’t want to bore people with a longer impressions - after all, the demo was short.

Aside from that, I’ve played it through twice. In my short time with it, the fighting and movements don’t seem as fluid as God of War. It seems almost like a bunch of stops and starts when you’re fighting. Who knows if that’s how it will be when it’s in it’s final form. I also could be mis-reading it, though, too. Devin, MitchyD, what do you guys think?

I tried out some of the aerial attacks the second time around and they are beautiful. Once I get a handle on how to do what I want when I want, I can see how intense this game will be.

On a much more embarrassing note, Nariko’s much sexier than I thought she’d be. I love how she walks like a model by placing one foot directly in front of the other. Then there’s her perfect posture and slight hip swing while walking also. And it’s all topped off with her very assertive but very feminine stance. They really put some effort into making this character feel feminine, which is unique for video games (in my opinion). I also love the picture of her you used at the top, Mitch. I haven’t seen it before.

For the record, yes, I have a girlfriend (fiance, technically), and, yes, she’s hot. But gamers are on the same page as me with this Nariko stuff, right?
