wow.
Talk about flying under the radar. I had no idea what this game was until DVDjunkie mentioned it in a thread(which is why I subsequently started a thread for it). As soon as I read it was Ninja Theory I was sold. The character animation should be incredible if Heavenly Sword is any indication. Hopefully they didn't have to hold back to make it work on the 360.
I know people were split on HS, but it remains one of my favorite PS3 titles to date. I enjoyed it far more than the GoW series so I have high hopes for this one. Unfortunately squeezed between Halo, Dead Rising 2 and Rock Band 3 it seems destined to fail. Maybe it will be this fall's surprise hit and/or critical darling.

I loved HS - but this one just doesn't seem to be grabbing me for some reason.
Also - nice grasshopper.

So your Google search for a dragonfly came back with a grasshopper? I thought I was just missing an in-joke or something.... sort of like when you'd post a cricket picture to mock thread silence.
We'll have to use that grasshopper for other purposes now. It has just been co-opted by the Internet machine. You and your grasshopper are gonna make a killing.

I guess this is a good a topic as any in this dead thread. Google "Cricket" and the image above comes up on page 1. But by all means, let the money start rolling in.

And here I still thought you'd meant to post a dragonfly for the title of the thread.
So now we have... the "cricket," the "grasshopper" and the "dragonfly" (not as of yet pictured).

I thought the grasshopper was a picture from the game. I thought "wow! nice graphics!" LOL!
Edit: Just watched the video. It looks interesting.

I think this certainly has some potential. I'm interested, despite the whole cricket/grasshopper fiasco.
In conclusion...

I've been looking forward to this game for a very long time. I love Heavenly Sword so I'm dying to see what Ninja Theory did now.

I do however, applaud Corvin for sticking to his guns and keeping the grasshopper in the thread.

I get the feeling that this is one of those games that will be bargain-binned within a month or two of release.

I'm not saying it'll be bad. It just seems like the sort of game that is destined to get lost in the mix of bigger-name fall releases.

Great graphics but plot and characters only look so-so. Heavenly Sword 2 probably would've been a pre-order for me.

I'm actually considering buying this. I don't know why but I just got interested all of the sudden...I usually don't do that with video games.
