They went through 5 or six different iterations for the main character.....and ended up with Nathan Drake.

I'm "kinda" excited, looks like it could be kinda really cool, i hope it's cool. Depends on the reception i guess, wait and see.

I was down for this game till the demo. This has swayed me a bit, it looks seriously more polished. But still sketchy...if this was their last shot at convincing me,  its most likely a rent.

Batman has given me a whole new look on games.  I'll certainly give it a try despite my initial reaction.

I was excited.  Then I played the demo.  It's definitely not something I need to play right away.  I'll pick it up later, cheaper.

It doesn't look terrible, per se, but it does look mediocre and forgettable.

The demo was fun but the game is a bit short with no multiplayer. If it sells well maybe the next game will have it. I hope these new games do well this year just so we are not stuck with safe games forever.

Wow, throughout the whole video the only person that seemed to have confidence in the game was the pitch man. Crap. I was really hoping it was going to be good.

@strangeling: Totally agree, i was looking forward to this then i played the demo,  janky as hell and put me off the game big time. I know it was only a demo but to release it so close to launch knowing not much is gonna change, i feel they've shot themselves in the foot, shame

This doesnt look bad, it all depends on just how open ended the game is, this would rock open world style.

Two things.
First, this is shaping up to be a game I can only give a fair opinion to after a full playthrough. I can appreciate that, so I'm done with the promos, they're not helping anymore.
Second, the Dead Rising 2 team must be bricking multiple pants right now to nail down a AA(A) title from show floor to sales floor, in the good name of "Capcom West" development.  Godspeed folks.

It's kinda sad that all these developers seem to think they were creating something special and groundbreaking when infact it's just turned out to be a mediocre game..

Blue Castle is a very good developer. They made both BIGS games, which were surprisingly addicting. I trust them to come through.

I've seen him with his helmet, and I've seen him without it. I've flown with the jetpack in the demo. I've seen a bunch of vertical combat clips. I've already played Uncharted 2 to death. Now they spoil the story and tell me the people are going to revolt. I don't have a whole lot to look forward to here.@RainbowRaccoon said:

Haha, my thoughts exactly. If they really think that just having a jetpack is enough to make this game great... then damn.. I can tell this game is going to be another mediocre "AAA" game that has some good ideas, but in the end.. falls short of greatness. And from the looks of the demo and everything shown so far, that's sounding pretty spot-on.

I don't get why everyone is so down on this game all of a sudden. The demo wasn't bad and it still looks pretty cool to me.

i was one of those rare people who actually had fun with the demo, but this still looks like a pretty flawed game. the cutscenes in particular just rub me the wrong way for some reason... they seem stilted. all in all this seems like something i might fish out of the bargain bin later on in the year, but not a day one purchase by far

A rip-off of Nathan Drake? Nonsense.
 
The character is essentially Nathan ZACHARY, the player character in the two Crimson Skies games, of which the team that is making Dark Void is basically evolved from.

Fuck, these comments depressed me. This is probably the game i'm most looking forward to this year, and after a lot of positive comments, all of a sudden, a week before release, everyone's hating on it. I guess I'm still not used to the internet
