To be honest, we already knew about Bison and Jin from the previous cinematic vid they released.

Wasnt really a surprise to see Akuma, seems to be in almost every crossover game that capcom do (Apart from Tatsunoko vs Capcom as far as I know)

And didnt pay too much attention on that first vid. Too distracted by Juri's ass at the start...

"The Japanese versions will be coming with word balloons with sayings from the game written in kanji, though there’s no word yet if that feature will make it to the American version."

Already have a few suggestions for what each one could have in the western releases.

Cloud: "...", or "All right, everyone, let's mosey"
Squall: "Whatever..." (Thats all he needs!)
Yuna: "HAHAHAHA!

Still, the stuff they are showing so far is looking really good. Always been impressed with the Play-Arts figures, have to agree on Meryl though, the figure looks great but the face is a little off.

I know that amazon are doing the 'stray sheep' edition too, but they dont have the book and cd.

Hmm, if were going by the original then, I suppose there was Grey Fox holding the weight of REXs foot with one hand while the thing was trying to stomp on him.

Which was the point that set one person off in particular. Someone didnt like the fact that Raiden was able to lift and toss the RAY model in the trailer, even though it was made to look like it took alot of power. When a cyborg ninja can hold up a giant foot, Raidens RAY-tossing doesnt seem all that impossible, especially as he would likely have greater technology in him then Gray Fox did.

I saw someone try to argue the the trailer shows the game going to 'ridiculous' new levels.

But the thing is, almost any scene with Raiden in MGS4 was over the top, and despite trying to claim the series has always been someone 'grounded in reality' Look at the MGS games for just a minute and thik about that.
While not as OTT as say, Devil May Cry, there have been plenty of scene that do stuff that defies normal logic.
-Snake Leaping off a missile (Twin Snakes)
-Vamp being able to walk on water and survive a headshot (MGS2)
-Eva beating up Ocelot with a moterbike (MGS3)
-Any fight-scene with Raiden (MGS4)

Trying to claim that this is ignoring the logic already set in the other games is just another sod just moaning like all the others

as long as you dont have cutscenes for between every 5 minutes of gameplay, and have to spend half an hour waiting between chapters it'll have my attention.

Though its being done by Platinum Games, perfect dev for making over-the-top awesome action games.

This wasnt grabbing my attention when it was first shown off, and the trailers didnt really grab my attention (It did seem to scream generic TPS) until recently.

Ive been reading stuff like this, along with interactions between your team and how helping your team helps to boost their morale and their trust in you. I'll definately have my eyes on this one when it comes out.

I'll certainly agree on the enviroments, those were always growing in quality.

I agree that Dimensions felt a little light compared to the earlier entries, though I suppose they had to do something to keep the game looking as good as it does and give it all that content with whatever space limitations the 3DS cards may have at the moment.
Problem is alot of games seem to be slowly drifting towards that QTE thing, maybe not in the way that DOA seems to be looking at, but breaking away from the gameplay to show off a big move that your forced to sit through.

Gotta say that the screenshots are impressing me. The characters are instantly recognisable, but I can tell they have already pushed forward with the graphics style.
That was probably my issue with the series until now, while Itagaki was running the show, they seemed stuck with the same appearance for the game, and while they could keep polishing it, and make it look smoother, you would really be pushed to see major changes between DOA2 and DOA4, despite the console generation-gap.

Cant wait for more.
