full vid of the demo..

Kratos meets Nina Williams, the story better be good, because so far im not impressed. Looks fun, but nothing new.

[Exoduso]

I agree, the moves look sick but it's probably just because the next-gen console allows it to... they don't really work well on the enemies according to this demo, and if all the enemies have shields and armor like that then the game will suck big time unless you get better abilities later on.. I'll still try it myself, but unless that player sucks big time and doesn't know how to block then i'm not impressed with the game at all, moving it to my gameq list and removing the reservation from EB heh.

[Kazen]

Looks like he didnt know how to block for shit.

[Exoduso]

Yeah, but if the blocking in the game is just bad and NOT the player, then this game will fail big time..

BTW I like Kratos' move list better.

Unless I'm wrong I don't think there was ever any positive press about the game? The closest thing I heard was that it was "pretty".

Seriously, the people psyched for HS were people who watched trailers, not who played the game.

Or those that loved God Of War. It's suppose to be a Goddess of War game.

[Exoduso]

It's probably pretty short too (GoW1-like short), and if this is what the final version looks like (this demo is pretty old and was shown like a year+ ago, but that's still not an excuse cus they could've just put a better one out there if there was one) then it's not worth buying at all... gamefly at best.

God of War was great because the team was really talented. There have been many many action games before that have been similar to GoW but not nearly as good.

As I said before, look at who is making the game to see how good it will be.

Thats not even what I read. I read that the action moves closely resembled God of War, minus having any actual control over your character.

Read, flashy video but no substance. God of War 1+2 were actually good games. Don't get me wrong, I hope its a good game, but I just never saw any real praise beyond "it looked damn good."

[Ronx]

Just played the demo and there is no actual block button, the way it work is that if you see the enemy do and attack in blue and your in speed stance (default) she will block the attack if she's not attacking and you can couter at the right time with triangle, if the attack is orange its the power stance and if red you cant even block it.

the moves are done with square and triangle, O is the "special move" button and X is for pickup/use, throw and for aftertouchs. keeping L1 pressed will put you in range stance "chains" and R1 is power stance" big heavy sword" and you have to keep them pressed to use that stance.

there's also aerial combo by launching the enemy in the air with the chains then moving the sixaxis upwards to start the combo follow by a series of button to perform the combo. you can also shake the controller to recover mid-air. Left analog is movement and right is evade

The demo is an old version confirmed here, I wouldn't worry about it. Then game will be improved when it comes closer to it being released. I wouldn't "Doom" it to gamefly just yet because that would be plain stupid.

Why do you think that?

[Kazen]

Look at MGS4 at the first trailer over 1yr ago and look at it now, its completely different. Alot can happen in over a year.

For all PS3 users, Neogaf has been making these cool backgrounds, with an enhancment, adding a XMB template as a background, it looks good

From page 5 and onward, people really adding nice backgrounds

Im using the Lair, dragon one myself

The Optimus Prime one is sexy.

That is unfortunate if HS is not good, though I would not be too worried yet. I heard an in depth review from E3. Shane from EGM played like the first 3rd of the game and seems to like it, I do not remember specifics, but I know he didn't like last E3's demo, but liked it at this E3. If you guys read E3 or 1up, you know Shane is prob the most credible person on that staff (imo).

As far as Resident Evil 5. If you own a 360, go download the High Def trailer NOW off of the Marketplace, it is so amazing. So much more than we saw at E3, and it hints at some great story elements as well. There is even some gameplay clips thrown in there which you will recognize if you played RE4.

RE5 = sechs
