All they showed was cutscenes, non live game footage of gameplay. I've seen just as impressive tech demos for ps4/

I suspect Ninja Theory was working on this before they bought the studios. Looks like they've already got a lot done.

I couldn't finish the first one, I liked the setting, but the combat was terrible. They would need to fix that before I'd give it another chance.

Yea everything but the gameplay was great. I refunded it within 2 hours but there's potential here. Just fix the combat and your good to go.

Trailer looked okay. I wonder if they are going to stick to the budget release 6 hour length of the original though or will this substantially bigger?

I'd be perfectly fine with around the six hour mark because I couldn't bare much more time into the first game.

A proper taste of 9th gen at last. Looks great.

It hurts me just a little that NT got snatched up and isn't still independent. Still, all the power to them, the visuals look great in this and NT knows how to craft a tale.

The original started its life as a temporary PS-exclusive and this one will most likely stay on Xbox or at least Xbox-PC. That's an interesting turn of events. I don't think there are many game series out there with a similar path.

Well seeing the ram is going to be triple and better CPUs and GPUs it's obvious that the graphics would be that much better. Beside the first game had stellar graphics as well and that was on this gen's hardware. Besides it's not about the graphics it's also about gameplay and story and for myself the first game's story/gameplay was boring. If I had to pick between this game or PS5's console exclusive I'd have to pick Godfall because that game has everything I look for in a game.

@shikamaru317 They didn't cut corners and SONY lost money on each console. Assassin's Creed Unity was built specifically for the XBOX One and being the crappier system at the time didn't bode well. Watch_Dogs had downgrades all across the board so don't blame MICROSOFT and SONY for cutting corners. That is all UBIsoft's fault oh ya they also made AC: Unity.

@shikamaru317 $381?Please post this link because I've seen them above the $400 mark without including an optical drive and needing to load stuff on by USB pin/jump drive. As for the slower hard drive that is so the system doesn't need to work harder and burn out quicker. My friend put a 7200rpm HD in his XBOX One and it was constantly overheating and just shutting down. I myself stuck to the 5400rpm HD replaced hybrid drive for my PS4 and my PS4 PRO. Load times are decent. As for the SSD in the next gen consoles we do not know how big they will be and for the price I do not see them being more than 1TB. I guess Ubisoft should have found this out instead of assuming because you know what happens if you "ass"ume? It makes you look like an ass. It's funny that you say this about the different developers when SONY even stated that the went directly to developers and asked them what they wanted to see in the PS4. Also keep in mind that new consoles generally start being in the talked about stage once that gen's console comes out and that's why most of the time once the console actually comes out it is already outdated because they started the PS4 talks back in 2009 and then they need to talk specs and that's why most people say that the PS4 is like a PC from 2009. Keep in mind that certain hardware isn't available mainstream when specs are determined and that's why the PS3 didn't do so well because SONY developed a technology that didn't exist until then with the cell processor which is touted to very powerful.
