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.

Thank you for the vids. Very nice. I'll admit I haven't kept up with this title. I've seen a couple of vids and heard information. Looks really promising but by no means the end all this game > then all others. It looked a lot like other games I've played. Maybe I just thought that the developers of TF2 would be pushing the envelope more with new ideas and maybe they will but I din't see that in those videos. Those videos have got me more interested in the title though, so thank you. I'll keep my eyes on it apon release. Who knows, mabye I'll purchase it over one of the other titles I'll be getting but I'm not sure how many shooters I want this season. And with KZ2 right around the corner to boot. Maybe I'll convince some friends to purchase this over Gears 2 as I loved the first one when it first released but the formula ran stale and I'm not jumping up and down for more of the same to be honest.
