That was an epic battle.
That was beyond what Juiced Belmont could go against talos, that was beyond what Soma could do against Balore, that was beyond against what Shanoa could do against Eligor.

Im impressed and I want now!

[Inccubus]

OK. That was bad-ass.
I wonder if it will be quite as cool without that tune in the background?
Either way I want this, too!

Something tells me that with the RIGHT orchestral score, that battle could be epic, though the CV purest in me also thinks, had they opted to use rushing guitar riffs and organ with a mixture of metal and progressive rock, that might be just as awesome(though it would NEVER happen).

I loved it, I just hope they get rid of "PRESS R2 TO HOLD ON! PRESS R2 TO HOLD ON!"

[Dremn]

That did look quite good, very impressive. I hope we keep getting new footage.

I was not fond of the snippet of a guy saying, "This battle takes 20 minutes!"
It looks decent though, not fond of the text pop ups like e105beta mentioned. It just makes me wanna play SoTC than LoS though, especially when that one preview said that the SoTC bosses were done better.

Edit: seems to be audio problems further in.

Yea, I got that in the SD, but I reloaded the HD vid, and it's working fine.

The stupid slut won't shut up, kind of like Nami from Zelda.

AND HOLY CRAP, so many qte enders... I hope I can just beat them down regularly without it becoming a huge chore like it was in GoW.

EDIT: Looks like loading is awesome though, so props on that.

[Buflame]

nice videos, thanks. my hipe-o-meter is going to xploit thouhg :S

QTE kills on smaller enemies are (or should be)optional, dunno about bigger enemies.

Didn't Cox say there won't be any QTEs several months ago? lol

[thernz]

Much better. The environment is very pretty, and it's nice to hear the sound clearer, though I'm still unsure about the music. The girl didn't really nag me. The attacks look all the same so I guess I'm glad for some of those QTE grabs (ehhh) I really dig the whole Just Defend-like move though, but the platforming or general environment interaction is really good. I'm hoping that you can use it for non-linear play. Can't say I'm all that fond of how the Combat Cross needs to be upgraded to access a thing, I guess it would be better if it was a unique Combat Cross function that he didn't already have, but the way he states it is YOUR LEVEL IS TOO LOW.

The QTEs were all activated by a grab move, I wouldn't be so worried about it being forced.

Yea, but that's what it was like in GoW too.

It's not forced but when you fought against minotaurs in GoW, if you didn't QTE finish them, they took 10x as long to kill them, which was a chore.

Didn't Cox say there won't be any QTEs several months ago? lol

This is indeed, what I recall, but it was obviously not the case, ever since teh first combat preview... but at the time, I was hoping it was limited to a very few amount of enemies... it doesn't seem so.

[thernz]

Yeah, I think they probably added in QTEs later like with candles. I kinda feel the enemies in this have a bit too much health in general now that I'm thinking about it. Eep. Not fond of all the flashing indicators telling you where to go. The game seems to like it's tasked with telling the player what to do just in case, but it's rather naggersome.

[Rugal]

Not happy with the generic hollywood style crappy music. Had to listen to some classic songs after watching that gameplay to erase the lingering foul stench of that music I had to hear.
