I'm really liking the music I've heard so far. Hopefully they can keep that up throughout the game.

I wish more developers would take note on how they talk about their game. This is how you do it. You talk about what you are doing in your game, and why it works for your game. I don't want to hear about how your game is going to revolutionize their respective styles of game. Just talk about what you're doing and why it works for your project.

The VA for Adam should have kept his voice the same instead of trying to "act" the character.

Adam Jensen looks like Solid Snake. And sounds like a bad rip-off of him as well.  
 
Bummed out about his voice actually.

I love it so much, though, that I don't care if it's a ripoff of Solid Snake.

Exactly.

Too many dev diaries come through as pretentious or just plain marketing drivel.

This was way more pleasant to watch.

More than anything else in these trailers, I've been most impressed by the sound design. I'm eager to see how it all plays out over the full game. I like the fact that they didn't punk out and just do an all-electronic score. It would have been easier. The choral mixed with electronic and organic sounds gives quite a bit of texture to the whole thing. And that plays well with the dense visuals.

You mean how Jensen sounds like something approaching a human being, while Solid Snake sounds like a damn cartoon character 100% of the time?

Yeah, it's a real crying shame.

Well, to me it's the other way around. They both pretend to have eaten 50 kilos of gravel and washed it down with three bottles of whiskey for breakfast but at least Solid snake, in my ears, has some "hold" in his voice. Jensen sounds like he's got a bad throat, and has no "hold" in his voice - it might break any second.

Just realized that Jensen has sunglasses implanted into his fucking skull, and I don't really know how to feel about that.

Jensen pretty much sounds like JC Denton to me.

Also, glad to see the return of sleazy shitty nightclubs.

The 'first' quest has fucking broken comments. It was bad behavior to begin with and, yeehaw Whiskey media, let's reinforce that! Great.

Anyway. I love the sound of this score. I'll pick it up as soon as it's available :-) Reminds me of the Chaos Theory score.

The voice actor seems like a cool dude. The voice is great. Reminiscent of JC Denton, which is pulling the right nostalgia strings.

Yeah. I don't like it. Reminds me of Christian Bale's Batman which is a bad thing.

Once again, the diehards of a series have proven why they should not be paid attention to.  Nothing will ever, EVER satisfy them.

@YukoAsho: What are you on about?

The fans of the original are almost unanimously behind Human Revolution after the demo leak.

Also Jim Sterling is an attention whoring douche. Quoting him for anything is an equivalence of drooling on the keyboard.

I was referring mainly to the disparaging comments here, but we both know there's always a vocal as fuck group that just want to complain about any deviation at all.  Eidos Montreal have gotten a ton of flack (and deserve credit for shrugging it off and making their game how they want it).  Most of us are down, but there are quite a few who aren't.

@YukoAsho: Ah, there will always be a few naysayers, no matter the game or trailers or anything. I look at these comments and there's already way more people willing to give the game a chance rather then writing it off immediately.

There has been a big negative vibe for this game on GB earlier on, mostly because people only saw the trailers before, without having anything to reference the with and especially after Ryan and Patrick K. made a few dismissive offhand remarks about their few minutes with an E3 demo.

But those who got the taste of the game via leak, have at least started to turn this perception around. Which is really really hard to do considering a lot of people tend to take their word as gospel, too often without looking at other sources.

That voice actor's comment about game VA being different because he wants to believe each "path" and having a hundred different paths, is interesting. Never thought of that.

aww man as a huge deus ex fan i can't wait for the game to come out. i went so far as to pre order it twice just so i could get all the extra stuff (thank you tax return). i've been trying to avoid all of these damn videos just so i can go into the game clean without any expectations but i figured id watch this one any ways and it reinforced my decisions to buy the game twice and my hope that this game will be close to being or just as good as the first one (which i've been playing through again).
