Plus, I played a bit of Turning Point and it did seem verrry poor. But I'm still ready to believe this game *might* be good. For those who are interested, I just found another video, which shows extra footage and features more dev talk. I have to say, it does look pretty cool when a giant bird picks someone up in his beak, then throws him away like an unwanted chew-toy: <a href="http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/e3-2008/150-Escape-TV-Legendary-TNA-Impact" rel="nofollow">Escapist vid</a> I found the hyperbole in that vid hilarious as well.

Could it be that Legend will "change the rules" like Limbo of the Lost did, and we can have another wonderful meta-game of guessing where such models and textures have come from? Still looks too good for that, needs to be 30% more naff looking.

But I do not like nude werewolves. I dunno, as a kid I grew up with furry werewolves, the nudish ones always freak me out. It looks interesting, cool premise. But I do not like nude werewolves.

They're called, I dunno, Zettai Toshi-somethingorother in Japan, I think. And I totally space on the European release name(s).). Massive-scale earthquake and flooding stuff with associated secondary disasters. But if this were to pull that sort of thing off with supernatural elements and modern graphics, I'd be sold.

The commentary really detracts from this trailer. It looked decent enough for the trailer to just speak for itself. What could be interesting fights and okay graphics are only a small portion of the formula for a decent game. I'm remaining cautious on this one.

“This development team has only one head of hair between them. So, while Turning Point may have sucked, they’re still one of the most aerodynamic development teams around. ”

Quite possibly the best comment ever.
