I wish it was Monkey Magic... 

You and me both mate.  God, why is there no real Monkey Magic game yet?

Yea, it's great source material.  I do expect a high quality cinematic production to appear one day. I know there's a very strong intention within their film industry to bring many of China's great ancient tales to the screen. 
 
When the shift in power is more apparent , we'll all be seeing a lot more of China's rich history. 

Is "Journey to the West" not the book that Dragon Ball is based on?

I got a very Beyond Good & Evil vibe from that... 
 
...meaning this game looks like it will be goddamn amazing, and no one is going to buy or play it. 
 
The trailer has me sold, though.  Voice acting sounded solid, the foley work sounded deadly, the score was energetic and pumping, and the look was very bright and colorful - something we need more of in games.

I love PC gaming, it's just that there's nothing really worth posting about right now. I'm hoping for something new on Crysis 2, but it seems likely fans will have to wait till during E3 for that. 

Looks interesting. More interesting is the fact that Alex Garland is doing the story. The Beach is one of my favourite books of all time and he obviously has played a fair amount of computer games as they are mentioned fairly frequently throughout with a respectable amount of insight. I don't know how significant his role will be to the project but this has piqued my interest more than anything else. 28 Days later and Sunshine are both incredible, also.
 
Looks like a big hybrid mix of gameplay. Art design is nice also.

1. Beyond Good & Evil is not a very good game.
2. Tons of people bought Beyond Good & Evil. Walk into the PS2 section of any GameStop, and there's a good chance you'll see the used games shelve fucking plastered with copies of Beyond Good & Evil. Do you know what that means? It means people bought the game, and people didn't like it. Stop with the fucking "bohoo why nobody buy Beyond Good & Evil". People fucking bought the game, okay? And aside from the reviewers and a select few who, for some reason I cannot understand, thought a game with mediocre combat, mediocre stealth, mediocre level design and mediocre graphics was some sort of masterpiece, people didn't fucking like it. If you love it, fine! You can do that! But don't go around whining about how nobody played it. It sold enough to get a Greatest Hits re-release. It is not an Okami. It is not a God Hand. Get over it.

" Futuristic monkey magic? Awesome. Judging by the trailer though, it's EXTREMELY loosely based on it. "

1. You have poor taste.  It's a brilliant game with a metric fuckton of atmosphere, character and variety. 2. Other people have poor taste or, what's more likely, other people with good taste have played the game, loved it and held on to it for the duration of their PS2's lifespan and when passing on their PS2s they have also passed on their entire libraries for resell at the same time.  For people to be discussing the game at such length, a game which was neither Japanese and so didn't have great Japanese market support, nor particularly action driven and rather esoteric in all areas (a non sexualised female lead, photography as a main plot driver etc etc) Beyond Good & Evil essentially typifies itself as a great, well loved game.  People loved it, you didn't.  Get over it.  Long and short of it, you have poor taste in games and you don't understand the games market at all. "

1. It has decent characters. That's it. The atmosphere is okay at best, and the variety only hurts the game; instead of doing one or two things well, it did a ton of things awfully. Half-assed, mediocre puzzles, half-assed, mediocre combat, half-assed, mediocre stealth, half-assed, mediocre driving and half-assed, mediocre platforming. There isn't a single thing the game does well. It's like a third-person Metroid Prime except with shitty driving and stealth and, you know, not good. Or, to compare it to the game most people compare it to: Zelda, except with shitty driving and stealth, and worse puzzles, combat, level design, graphics and music.
2. The used game shelves were plastered with copies of Beyond Good & Evil before the Playstation 3 was even released. And even if they hadn't been, you can't find nearly as many used copies of, say, Devil May Cry 3 or The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker or Silent Hill 2 -- you know, games that people liked -- as you can of Beyond Good & Evil. People bought the game. People didn't like the game. People didn't deem it worth keeping. It's not the Okami, or Valkyrie Profile, or God Hand you fans make it out to be. It's not a niche title. It's a mainstream game that the mainstream hated. They hated it because it was like Zelda (which they liked) meets Metroid Prime (which they also liked), only shitty. The only arguments I ever see for why it's such a fantastic title and so underappreciated, is that the main character didn't have big tits and that the story (which was basically a Pixar movie, only not good) was unique. I've never, ever seen anyone praise the driving or the stealth or the combat (you know, the game) which, after playing the game, I suspect is because that stuff wasn't good.

Oh god, what's happened here : /

Sooo... how bout that Enslaved huh? I was not a huge fan of Heavenly Sword (I keep thinking about giving it another non-hype driven try) so my jury is still out on this one. Does look like it has promise tho. 

I keep getting an Ico vibe off the "I die, you die" idea.

Look more interesting than Heavenly Sword, at least.

 lol    

Am I the only one who instantly thought about DKC2? am I that old? The concept is very similar, besides, that game implemented some kind of co-op (not simultaneous), that was cool back then, maybe we will see some of that here?
