Those videos just made the game seem that much cooler :D

Whoah, that's a completely different reason than the ones you were giving before.

I think my points still stand.

I bet you that the game won't come out both requiring precision to play a good character and lacking any semblance of precision.  Period.

How?

You need surgical percision to play as a good guy was my original arguement.

This came directly from the Devs mouth.

How does it coming from the Devs mouth change anything?

Crakdown was garbage. Too Human was ok.

Infamous will be better, but not Saint's Row great.

Have you paid attention to the news lately? Sony has a city's worth of employess (180,000 exactly) and they're losing their jobs one after the other. Thats a ton of unemployed people. The last time I checked, the ps3 was still a loss-leading product. You expect sony to sell it at an even greater loss so the company can collapse? Don't you realize that if the ps3 sales suddenly broke out that'd mean even more and greater losses for a company in a crisis right now.

You might mention the long term but in reality, sony needs help RIGHT NOW. A move like that would be suicidal. Besides, ps3 has more expensive hardware packed in period. It's just unrealistic to expect it to be sold at the same price point as the 360 or wii. If consumers don't like it, then it was a bad decision from the start and this gen is lost but there's always next time. Trying to salvage a losing battle by comitting suicide is the epitome of EPIC FAILURE!

Hype +1

I think, conceptually, precision isn't necessary to play a good superhero.  I thought you were saying it was, and that the game didn't deliver.  If instead a dev says that precision is necessary within this game, to avoid killing innocents or whatever, fine.  (Just means the game doesn't include other ways to avoid killing them besides good aim, and doesn't require as much moral balancing as it could.)  In light of the apparent dev comment, though, I think it very likely that what they wanted to show onscreen was a lot of firepower and flash, not careful precision.  What was shown onscreen, therefore, wouldn't imply that the controls make playing a good guy impracticable.

Unless you watch all the screens including ones where they are fighting and there is no flash and they still miss... a LOT.

Look at the other vids.  What's the "Flash" in that first one.

Another GREAT AA PS3 game. :)

It looks meh to me at the moment, nothing special... I mean every time I see it I think "The Force Unleashed" but now in an open world... sure it should be longer then TFU was but TFU wasn't bad if you're a Star Wars fan and the story did good service to those fans much better then episodes 1-3, this story from what I've read is about as interesting as the comic strip Dilbert... so this game would have to have some damn good gameplay to interest me.
