I was disgusted with the end of the previous game so much that I never even played it afterwards.
This time I'll make sure they don't try to pull that crap again before even considering buying this game.
While the original game looked really good for it's time, cell-shading isn't that special anymore so the game will have to do better than just being linear shooter.

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay you wouldnt believe how much i raged at the end of the first game, now i will have closure
The first game had a certain amount of style, I'll grant, and the soundtrack was good. The level set-up, weapon distribution, save system, disk-switching, stealth mechanics, use of gimmicks, and voice acting...
Well, let's just say I'm not likely to pre-order.

I can't wait for XIII. I never knew what the first one was and played it on a whim. The cel-shading was new back then and with the comic book sound effects and mini panels showing enemies dying were a cool touch. I always wondered what happened to the series.
Let's be fair; I don't think Mr. Duchovny knows how to sound anything BUT bored. Unless he's yelling, in which case he sounds bored and irritated.WMDogma said:
Still, I heard a lot of good things about the original despite never getting to play it myself, so I will keep an eye open.
You can try!
You can fly!
You can lose your mind, but I'm still on the run!
I Try to escape,
The Prison in my mind...
This game (XIII)was a favorite of mine for a long time, and man I wanted a sequel. From Robbing a bank, to raiding an Alaskan military complex, and even sneaking through a terrorist base in Mexico... I must have number two!
but please, please PLEASE don't compare this game to borderlands. Yeah, cell-shading. This time, at least, it was cell-shaded for a reason.

The original was a bit brown, I will admit. Then again, it was also on the xbox/gamecube, and the brown was more due to graphical limitations the it was to aesthetic choice. And then there are the blue levels. And the Green levels. And the "villa on the cliffs" level was fairly multicolored...Ironman126 said:

I played through it and...I didn't think it was that great to be honest.
The gameplay was solid (when you weren't pushed into the not so well thought out stealth sections that is) but the story telling to me just felt a bit lacking (I'm not gonna go into spoilers for people who are genuinely interested in finding out for themselves, it is a good game, I just thought it had more than a few hiccups keeping it from being great).
It'll be interesting to see how this new game turns out so colour me intrigued.
