The game is a horror game, that is truely scary... reminds me of the enemies in Dead Space :) - Actually the game is amazing, and saw very few bugs, but thats games for you - some people will get some, some wont.
On another note, the IGN guy had this to say, which i found fascinating:
As far as I'm concerned, those questions have been answered to my satisfaction. My only concern about my hands-on time was the fact that it took place in a developer test area that won't be in the final game.
So what they were showing wasnt even in the game? What?
As for Demos/playtime at E3... I can forgive issues - but it's also a mistake to get the team to spend time on polished demo's as it takes away from time in dev. Which is why we probably saw a lot more "no" hands on demos..because you can easily pick a particular part of the game and just polish it more. While demos are separate branches of the game, and usually you have to do more to get one up and running.
But ironically to not have hands on time is also a mistake... it's a total no win situation for games devs, make a demo which might not show off the best of your game and eat up resources, or make it hands off, which means it will look better but no one will be able to play the game :(
Anyway, at this stage you are starting to get into the final bug fixing and final polish of the game (as they are 1st party released/launch games they will probably have a faster submission time).. but I would say they have at least another one/two months of polish, so still lots of time. Depends on when MS launch the console. Probably October the game will need to go for manufacture, they can probably still steal another 2-3 odd weeks for a day 1 patch for any annoying bugs that are still left. The key will be what bugs are serious enough that will impact the game that they *wont* be able to fix because they are poor design decisions or things that just dont work.
Anyway, just don't think its fair right now to criticise a game that isnt even released.
