I have to say after the demo: I did NOT like it.
Pretty much what Mugen said sums my thoughts:
The parry is just wtf. Using analouge and square and it only works when you are about to succeed otherwise Raiden just slices air and gets sent flying. That red holo over the enemy before he attacks isnt exactly as solid as the Batman games parry alert.
Physics indeed, it feels like everything is made out of paper. And the lack of combos unless I missed something is a bit odd. IT feels like Square and Triangle are just there and the real combat mechanic is the whole slow-mo slice everything mechanic.
Speaking of the slow-mo slice everything mechanic -> It gets boring really fucking fast. About 10-15 mins into the demo, I was like: So this is it? The first 5 minutes was cool as fuck, I admit that xD. (Tutorial pretty much).
After watching videos, I thought RAidens sprint would allow for some cool stuff like Wall running a lá Neo. Turns out you can only scale certain walls that arent that high and in general your movement is a bit awkward.
The presentation was good though and it did give me some MGS feel which I found shocking. But yeah, did not digg it.
