Kingdom hearts was  never like this. Come on, man! Watch this gsmeplay again. They went full modern, slow, realistic mocap with their animations. I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few faster weapons, but this gsme is never going to come close to the speed and fluidity of OG GoW. If you're expecting more, you're going to be horribly disappointed. I'm warning you, do not go in expecting a fast game, because that's not what this is going to be. I knew that the moment he started walking around, and the next ten minutes confirmed it beyond the shadow of a doubt.

I'm not saying it will build up to the same speed as the originals.  Lol.  But I think it's not unreasonable to think the pace will pick up (potentially).

I see, well, that's more sensible, lol. I'm sure you'll be able to ditch the heavy axe at some point for something a little faster -- weapon choices are something they'd better keep from the earlier games. Some sort of god powers should give a boost at some point as well, but still... O_o

I think Santa Monica probably realised that GoW was getting a little stale after Ascension, and decided to take a gamble and make, like, the hugest departure from the original formula that they could possibly concieve. This is easily the biggest shock this E3, if you ask me. We'll see how it pans out, but I  can't believe Sony would do this with one of their most iconic franchises. The balls on them!
