Too bad it looks like the entire demo was entirely pre-planned and scripted. The whole car crash at the light seemed very "on rails."

If they start showing actual gameplay, that would be interesting. As of now it could end up being another over-hyped bullshit title (remember the Killzone 3 "gameplay" video?) or an excellent game where everything shown in the trailer is actually how the game plays out.

We'll see.
The UK trailer and the one shown at E3 have different endings; it's not totally scripted.

Not to really stir the fires, but I think the whole "the writing will be bad because it's a game" critique is becoming less and less true over the past few years. Hell, it hasn't been true since 1999's The Longest Journey or Planescape: Torment.

About half of the posts in Final Fantasy 13-2 LP thread were Azure_Horizon praising that game's story :allears:

No, they weren't. I both explained and critiqued it.

As far as great game writing in the past five years: The Void, Journey, NieR, Dear Esther, Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

Yeah, the story is sounding cliche as gently caress now. Definitely deflating my hype.
