Nobody should worry. It's early.
Judging by the first video, theres no way they should've released this demo. Just walking around its very obvious its early (and not great looking). Stilted animation the biggest offender.
Although I've got to say I actually appreciate that we'll be able to see another 'premiere' next-gen game blossom from 'meh' to 'wow'. Its not much fun when games always get showcased in private

This post makes me sad.
Yeah what the hell does that mean? At first it seems like a positive being that the PS2 is use to some great RPG's where as the XBox and 360 has none but then they add...
Not next gen enough? Not new enough? Not different from the hundreds of other RPG's? What? Thats a odd statement because your not sure what he is trying to say.

I've played just about every PS2 RPG, as far as PS2 RPGs go, I'm fried. I want something new.

Yeah but that doesn't exactly make Mistwalker the foretold mystical RPG saviors for the XBox 360.

Agree with Amir0x. I'd interpret it as more of a compliment.
What are people expecting? Turned based rpgs didn't disappear last gen and they won't this gen. As long as japanese gamers keep buying games with turnbased battle systems companies will keep using them. LO is a game with a big budget. The devs of the game are already doing something unique with the story, doing to many unique things could have a negative effect. It makes sense to give fans of the genre Japan something that they are familiar with.

Oh I'm not saying that you're saying that. But isn't that what GAF hype has led to? OMG SAKAGUCHI IS A BADASS etc. Blue Dragon looks pretty cool and everything but it really does seem like "SNES era RPGs, only prettier!" nothing revolutionary added to the formula or anything. And Lost Odyseey, well.. not even worth mentioning so far. Probably because it's in like 2% completion or something.
I'm not saying I mind TOO MUCH but I'd really like to see something fresh and new from someone.
Striek said:Amir0x, you seem to assume theres only one calibur of PS2 RPGs
Watch the videos and read the rest of the text and I think it is meant to imply 'just another PS2 RPG' as in, nothing special.
Oh, I know the actual article has what appear to be valid complaints. I just took issue with that comment, because even in the context it seems to imply that to be a good RPG in next-gen you need to be more than a "good" PS2 RPG w/ next-gen graphics in HD, which is absurd from my vantage point.

Did they use the word "good" though? From the context it seems to imply a average PS2 RPG.Amir0x said:

...the game isn't even close to being done yet.

I thought this was what people wanted: PS2 like RPG's on the 360.
Now something of that vein arrives and everyone is like "OMG! "
:lol
GAF kills me.

Heh.
I get the feeling MS pressured Sakaguchi into releasing this demo..it's way too early.
This is like releasing a demo of Halo 3 multiplayer here..just not needed.
I mean Sak didnt even let us play (or even SEE gameplay of) Blue Dragon until TGS which is like 3 months before it's release in Japan.. <shrug>
I think it looks good though, and I have nothing but confidence that a year from now, the end product will be worth the (year) wait.
I think they shouldve made a new trailer or something to tide us over.

The TGS DEMO SUCKED
Other than the fact that it was somewhat awe-inspiring (in terms of graphics and musical score by the famous Nobuou Uematsu), the demo sucked. The combat sucked....
THE ANIMATIONS LOOKED NO DIFFERENT THAN TIDUS SWINGING HIS SWORD IN FFX.
THE GAME WASN'T EVEN RUNNING IN HI DEF AT TGS.....STUPID XBOX BOOTH PEOPLE....I TRIED TO TELL THOSE IDIOTS....
but they just wouldn't listen.....I wish the Viva Pinata guy would come. He was awesome! His English was AMAZING.

Personally I think it looks good. Threads like these just reinforce an old stereotype about internet posters.......
This demo is what happens when you put a bunch of guys whose last projects were FF8 and Legend of Dragoon respectively, give them the Unreal Engine 3.0 with no experience whatsoever, and then cut 30 minutes of the unfinished game out and put it on a DVD hoping it impresses. Big mistake.
This is funny yet very predictable stuff. This game isn't even close to being done and people are acting like it's the end of the world.
They seem to have their storyline, art and engine working. That's really all that matters, since it's so far off they could conceivably rework whatever they wanted gameplay-wise and still release it in late 2007. Isn't that about when it's slated for release anyway?
Now if there doesn't seem to be any improvement come June or whenever the new E3 is, then go ahead and restart the hate machine. Nobody is going to remember this demo a year from now. To say the drama in this thread is a bit premature is being very generous.
