I'm still not sold, I'll have to get my hands on it for myself. Why would I base the playability of a game based off of a cinematic? Unless of course we are talking Final Fantasy or Metal Gear. lol

I'm hoping the game turns out amazing but I doubt I'll be able to pick it up for a while with all of the amazing games coming out. Honestly there are almost 20 games I want coming out this season. I do love me some Team Fortress 2 though, but I'll be getting my shooting fix in with R2 and Gears 2 until I can fit this game in my schedule.

Well here's some gameplay vids then.

Nobody's telling you to base the playability of the game based off the cinematic.  Merely the badassery and awesomenitude of the game.

Seriously, there's been only gameplay shown for 2 years...having some awesome cinematics is just a plus, and shows the level of polish Valve is putting over the game as well.

It's not a vital part of the game, but it's there for added polish, just like the TF2 shorts.
