It SHOULD be a tail as he's named Monkey and is most likely a Monkey King however from the trailer it looks like something attached to his trousers...I hope it isn't.

Very excited for this! Can't wait to play it, has a kind of Ico vibe to it where you're both helping and looking out for one another.

If you watch the E3 gameplay demos its very clearly a piece of cloth that hangs from his belt, its meant to look like a tail but it is not.

Anyone else not like it when a video game trailer is edited like a trailer for a summer blockbuster?

Hmm... That's good, I guess, because that means the concept is just far fetched enough, without going too far. It's bad, though, because on top of that ridiculous hair, this confirms that whoever designed that character had no idea what the term "practicality" meant.

Would you have preferred this hair? Look at those side burns...kinda awesome in a way.

He sounds like a blend of Russel Crowe, Hugh Jackman, and Sam Worthington.  
 
I'm curious to see the roles reversed in a story like this. What if the male is the physically weaker more skillful person while the female is the stronger leader? That'd be pretty cool to see the dynamics and conflict of that relationship.

Hahahah. Oh yeahh. I keep forgetting that this is based off of another property. I guess they gotta keep some things similar, and I'd rather it be the way it is than like the kid in that picture.

Looks like Uncharted 2 left its mark on this one. Getting a very similar vibe from the characters in the trailer. Like they're gonna talk about what's going on in the game constantly. Color palette also reminds me of Uncharted 2 a lot.
 
Not a bad thing at all.

 Ha ha yeah the game has definitely modernised his hair style a bit. Oh and believe or not but the actor was actually in his early 30's when that picture was taken...

Wow, I am actually really excited for this game. I liked some of the ideas in Heavenly Sword, and this seems to be a more fleshed out and realized game. Lookin like a good holiday purchase.

I like how the 'to win their freedom' part makes it sound like the title means they're enslaved by the robots, but it actually refers to the way he is enslaved by her.

Oh, hi Sam Worthington-ish voice actor! Was that voice over near the beginning really necessary? Weird, man.

I'm impressed, main characters in an action game that actually show emotions and vulnerability! This seems like a fresh breath of air compared to the hundreds of rambo tough guy heros we have in almost every game of this type. I dig it.

The girl looks a lot like Nariko from Heavenly Sword which isn't too much of a surprise considering the two games share the same developer.  This game is really going to need a good story with chemistry between the two leads in order to succeed.  So far, this could be a sleeper hit for the fall.  I like the use of color in the game.  Honestly, I am sick and tired of browns and grays.

That looks passingly interesting, but I'm not completely sure why we have two characters in it.  I'll keep my eye on it.

Yeah, looks like it could be awesome. I have a prediction though: By the end he goes "If I die, you die...And I ain't gonna let that happen..." instead of what he says in the trailer, which is the other way around. Character development! Unless he isn't saying it as selfishly as you could take it.

Holy shiz, I'm excited for this. Maybe it's just the fact that the world is bright and vibrant, and the gameplay doesn't appear to be weak, but I am all kinds of jazzed.

That's a pretty cool video. It's good to know they're keeping the combat looking really fresh.

I didn't care at all for Heavenly Sword. It had the right idea but it failed on so many levels. I was definitely disappointed but Enslaved looks to bring Ninja Theory back on track.
 
I love how the game looks and the combat appears like it has some real weight to it. Above that though, the characters seem interesting and the addition of platforming is just the icing on a seemingly excellent package.

Looks pretty good actually, I certainly enjoyed Heavenly Sword despite it's launch game flaws. If the cutscenes are of the same high quality, and I have no reason to think otherwise, I'm in.

Visually, I think this game looks amazing, but from a narrative perspective it does nothing for me.
