Is the Collector Edition coming in America?



I know that using Amazon is really innaccurate but it's still interesting to see that it stands at #14 on amazon.ca (Above FFXIII and MW2 on PS3! :O)

Yes.

Will it look the same as the european one?



I like the overall look of this game, but I'm quite disappointed with the look of the two younger male characters, Norman and Ethan.

When I first saw footage of this game, I was amazed by the realistic/cinematic style. I even liked that Madison didn't look like the typical supersexy, buxom girl that is usually depicted in videogames.

However, I look at the faces of the above mentioned characters and I think that there's something wrong in them (and no, I'm not talking about the Uncanny Valley). I don't know, maybe the shape of the nose is weird. I know that some noses are "weird" in real-life, but those faces look more... fake? than Madison and Shelby's faces.

For me, Madison and Shelby are "ok" and realistic, but these other guys ruin a bit the look of the game.

Moreover, I don't like how the fingers are positioned in some situations, like when a character holds a gun in the hand. I mean, I see the typical wrong way to represent hands in 3d graphics: fingers are separated way too much. I mean, when you hold a gun, the middle finger, the ring finger and the little finger are close together, but in videogames we see a space between each finger, and that looks utterly unrealistic, in my opinion. Fighting games is the classic genre when you can spot this kind of issue.

I seriously think that these little things should be a matter of the past, in this generation.

Howeverrrrrrrrrr, I'm looking forward to this game. It IS special (I hope).

Sounds to me like you need to see the game in action more, versus just judging the screenshots. In fact, those who have played it says screens do it absolutely NO justice.

To me, Ethan looks more detailed than Madison, but that's just me.

I know what you mean.

It is a very good looking game in action, indeed, but I've seen several videos (for each character) and my feeling is still there. We perceive things in a different manner, sometimes.

Well, I don't see them changing the characters noses and hands and such just due to a few gripes. No offense.

Fine...

New video in Polish... Just found it on N4G.

Be careful though, NSFW. There be boobies.

Interesting, and not just for that :P

I went through Kojima's Policenauts so I think I can manage this game. I'll most likely be renting this when it comes out.



Indigo Prophecy was (or still is?) only a couple of bucks on Steam so I picked it up the other day and it wasn't bad.

It starts strong, but it's rather poor by the time you get to the end. It was almost like there was a lack of motivation or something in the scenes leading up to the credits.
