The main point of the video was to show what kind of research went into the combat, and how it will look and feel. Not so much the combat itself, we've had E3 for that!
Oh and look carefully at each and every shot, some of them have something 'new' in there for you to discover!

I want to know more about this one button as well. of course sensativity of the press factors but what about directional? yes it does for multiple enimies but if fighting one will it do all different attacks. the e3 stuff was pretty much the same combo over and over again.

yeah I've seen some of the E3 shaky-cam videos for that though even those are a bit 'lofty' in terms of what is actually possible.
I think the one button for everything could work decently if done well (timing, button press-hold and movement modifiers) but I sort of think that by trying to make the game more casual oriented ("you only have to press one button to attack") the devs may be over-complicating combat where only a very select few people are going to fully master the game or a lot of the more interesting combat events are ignored due to the effort not worth the payoff.
eg: button mashing A while not very exciting is still more effective than press and hold A, wait for swing, A, A riposte, hold A, parry, A stab.
I anxiously await a more in-depth video that shows that learning the deeper aspects of 'single button' combat is worth the time invested.

The only thing they're putting on the one button that normally isn't is blocking. Aside from that, Fable 1 was just "one button combat", along with just about every other ARPG I can think of.

looking forward to checkin out the new episode, are these coming out every other month?
I tried out the combat at E3 and of course the game in general needs a lot of polish, but it actually seemed to work pretty well.
When Peter talked about it, I couldn't help but feel that it just would become a button-masher no matter what, but when I got it in my hands, I have to admit, I became very focused on doing the right things at the right times. Take into consideration I couldn't even use magic or ranged weapons, nor could I see how much score/XP I got...
But the way you control the music and how your fighting style is controlled by the timing of the button presses works pretty good I have to admit.
