Alot of the things they said really have me worried like "sometimes it will be difficult to tell when you're transitioning from cutscene to gameplay." Umm...that sounds like a really bad idea. I don't know about the rest of you, but I like to know when I'm supposed to be watching something and when I'm supposed to be doing something.
Also I don't care how good it looks. Episode III 'looked' good, but each frame was so dense and convoluted it was tough to figure out what the heck was supposed to be happening.
This just seems to be a rehash of so many other games that came before it; a boring, white, short-haired anti-hero doing something set in one place that will prominently feature the colors grey and brown.
To set it in a premise as rich and varied as Star Wars seems almost contradictory. The OT was always played with the viewers perception on what the Force was, on what it meant to be a Jedi Master. It's locales were varied and alien and the story was much bigger than any one person. From dog-fighting above the Death Star to zipping between the trees on a speeder bike, the Universe itself was its own character.
With all of that -ALL OF THAT- to work with, why why WHY are they making a grey-brown shooter? I don't mind another Star Wars shooter. I loved Dark Forces. But there's just so much to Star Wars. And for them to set it on planet Boring to follow the adventures of Boring McBoredom does not bode well for this title.
I want to be wrong. I so want to be wrong. But every word spoken in that demo serves to confirm my suspicions. 'Gritty' 'Dark' 'Mature' 'Intrigue' 'Treachery' blech, if the game was going to be any good, you wouldn't need to harp on that stuff.
