After seeing the very well produced trailer of The Force Unleashed 2, I was left with one very strong impression: "Nice...too bad the gameplay will likely be nothing like that and will just be clubbing storm troopers futilely with your light saber." 
My first impression after seeing the first half of the Metal Gear Solid: Rising trailer was: "Incredible...psh, too bad it'll probably turn out like Force Unleashed and be about as effective at cutting as a baseball bat-OH HOLY SHIT! He just cut that guy into THIRDS!" How has Kojima Productions made a more effective Jedi game than Lucasarts ever did?? Why do movies get to dismember but videogames don't? Will there be a way to EAT the delicious water melon you've just cut in half? I need ANSWERS, people!

Usually it's because then the game would be too easy. The solution is either throw 1000 enemies at you at once, or have the enemies take more damage. I'm assuming Rising will take the Afro Samurai approach and have that badass cutting thing be a meter or something that fills up as you kill more dudes in a regular way. Also, I'm sure there will be heavily armored enemies at some point in the game that won't dismember so easily. It's all a matter of balance for difficulty.

Yeah, if the precision cutting works like Dead-Eye in Read Dead Redemption, then that should work pretty well. I'm more concerned with the possible recognition errors while cutting people up. Like, if I cut the top of someone's hat off, do I cut their head off too? Do they just die? What if I cut someone's foot off? Do they hop around/ kneel and shoot me/ roll over and moan/ die? This is gonna need a Dead-Space-esque dismemberment demo or something.
 
And who would have thought that a Metal Gear Solid game would be pioneering some drastically new gameplay device?

It's like that afro samurai game except you can also cut watermelons and cars.. awesome. Wonder if this will ever come to ps3

I AM GOING TO CUT EVERYONE INTO LITTLE DECORATIVE RIBBONS AND NO ONE CAN STOP ME :|

It's not that they can't make a good Star Wars game.  It's that Lucasarts doesn't want an M rated Star Wars game.  It sucks, but that's what it is.  Still, I'm excited for TFU 2 anyways since I really liked the first game.  Metal Gear Solid: Rising does look awesome though.

Just saying, Jedi Knight had some sick dismemeberment mods for the PC. Update that game and ill play it for years.

I hope the cutting mechanic is more accurate than in Afro Samurai. 
One section I had to try for 15 minutes to cut a rope. Without any noticeable changes to where I was aiming the game finally gave up and let me cut the rope so I could proceed. 

Just about anything would be better than that pre recorded embarrassment they showed with the guy lagging behind the game.
