Considering the effort they are putting into the story and how Platinum meshes spoken dialogue with their gameplay I would hope it is linear to ensure everything flows well and they aren't spreading themselves too thin with side missions not relevant to the plot.
They have a very limited time frame to build this game so they can't afford to make an open world game like Shenmue.
Why let our eyes decide for ourselves when we can be told how to feel?written previews of games before any trailer/gameplay footage.... its like i went back in time
hope there is a trailer today.

That's a very good point. I'm not against the game being linear, but I'd be lying if I said I'm not disappointed that we won't be able to explore Republic City.
Maybe if there's a sequel.
Sadly, Korra fans have actually found out the dimension and weight of Korra's chest. Yes, that actually happened. =/
I know how much of fan you are. It's hard to rip to shreds your baby Korra but that's the breaks when you love something so much you can't show it any mercy when the time is right.
Hopefully the team is putting as much love into the background as they did the TV shows and that Platinum was able to convey the flow of having a story in a game or that they independently took time on their own to learn from Irrational, Bioware and even Platinum and push interactive fiction forward.
Wait a minute!? The weight?? PM please.

The announcement of this game made me realize I haven't even watched Season 2 yet
The game is already bought since it's a Platinum game about airbending, but its nice to know it controls good

Hey it doesn't bother me. Do I want this to be great? Obviously. If the game ends up being bad, it's bad. I really see no reason to sugarcoat or defend a bad game. Just because you are a fan of a series, doesn't mean anything involved with it is good (lol look at M Night's movie. Most of the fan base acts like it doesn't exist).
Lol don't want to get banned, I'll link you (although I saw it on Reddit a while back, so not sure if I can find exactly what I saw)...

A man has found that the world was round with some observations thousands of years ago, and this shocks you?
I wasn't judging.
Anyways, I'm still excited for this game. But I've adjusted my expectations to a pretty reasonable level. I expect it to be a fun/decent downloadable title. I'm not expecting anything great, but at least a pretty good experience. I'm mostly excited about Platinum's gameplay with bending. It's always something I wanted to do in a game. So even if the game doesn't end up being great, I'll just be happy if the combat sections are fun.
4 switchable elemental styles + Rising-ish parry/counter
Difficulty modes and final boss fight
Actually the PS4 version will look a lot better than the other platforms.
But they had to sacrifice particle and physics effects to reach such detail.
This is sounding better and better.

So it's this PS exclusive? I thought it was coming to 360/One/PC too...

They're saying this after the insane Hype Tornadoes at the ends of Bayonetta, Vanquish, Revengeance and W101. I honestly can't even imagine.
No, it's coming to everything except Nintendo consoles, apparently. This post is just from the PS Blog.
And this is one of the more pernicious powers of preview culture. FUD.
Yeah, too bad it is a low budget project :/
But for 15 bucks/euros i think it is good deal.

We're all forgetting the most important thing: what's the highest difficulty level going to be called?

Hot damn, I didn't even know such a game was in development.
In order to keep the series' identity, they'll probably go with something like "probender", instead of the usual Platinum crazy, unfortunately.
Eh, there will be plenty of time to understand whether the game is good or not.
The point in reading a preview like this, is more to get a sense of what type of gameplay you're going to get, and the mentions of familiar games (like Revengeance) are a good metric.
Unless you rush to pre-order, there is no foul at all.
So kind of a re-skinned MGR then...
Day one!
Ehhh, the sub weapon system in Rising was pretty shitty, L1/R1 style switching is a lot more interesting.
Imagine if you can switch dynamically and the animation continues fluidly!
I need to see some footage! It's out this year right?
It's supposed to be this fall, IIRC.
Can we have jump cancel with some air double jump bullshit?

*One of the water moves will be a Nero- like grab that will let you bring enemies to you when you're in the air. Where you switch to Air style and tornado them higher and then slam them down. Then you kick them back up with an Earth style giant fist as you juggle them with Fire style bullets and then end it in Avatar state where you just do some crazy nonsense.
*I wish

There's also the version of that move that makes you go to the enemy, and if you double jump just when you touch the enemy, you'll be considered grounded for a short frame window, making your air moveset much bigger.
So the only reason this game has gotten so much attention at all, then...okay.

I like the anime... so if it was another developer I will be more interested but that's me and not everybody.
I tried a lot of Platinum games and all of them are the same... boring and meh... the best one for me was Bayonetta that I give a 7/10 score (not the same Hack 'n' Slash level than DmC or GoW but well it is better than Castlevania LoS), even so it was one of easiest games I ever played.
Bayonetta could do stuff similar to that with her whip so its a possibility.
I think I need to lie down.

Remind me, has Korra ever used lightning on the show? Because if you can lightning bend in this game I don't think I'm going to be able to control myself.

Then you're one of the few people not complaining about what TV shows they don't like in these threads, I'll give you that much.
It's really dense to say that Platinum games are all the same when that's blatantly false. Furthermore, no one with any credible knowledge of character action games would say GoW or DmC of all things are even close to Bayonetta, let alone be under the impression that those games are even remotely above it. Being better than Lords of Shadow is also not a challenge.

I can't. I just can't.
I guess opinions are opinions but it looks like they can be wrong sometimes.

I hope this is a good game that way Plat can make another game BUT WITH AN ORIGINAL AVATAR! How sweet would that be?
what i find crazy about the show is how different Sam looks now compared to back when the show started compared to Dean who pretty much looks the same more or less.

That's fine, a lot of people don't like Platinum. But I wonder which developer you think would do a better job than Platinum at capturing the bending styles and making it into a decent action game?
Aside from Bayonetta and Vanquish, I actually like DmC more than their other games, but I don't think there's any dev better suited for this than Platinum or maybe Capcom. So much that I didn't believe it when I first read that Platinum was working on this, it was just a perfect match.

she's never done that, nor metal- or bloodbent. However, I could see those being high level unlockables just for the hell of it.
Move gets prefaced by launching a boulder into the air. Grab/throw->air juggle-> boulder comes down slamming forcing the target into a pillar rising from the ground, then barbecue them inside the newly minted pressure cooker/kiln. While they are cooking avatar state and bend the energy of the out of them resulting in an explosion...
Or something.
