To be perfectly honest, it doesn't look too good and I liked the original.

Looks like Metal Gear Online a little, but a little too much shooting all at once...

I saw that live on TV a few nights ago.

Looks pretty amazing to me.

What is it that makes me not believe you?

But anyway..

This is nothing groundbreaking, it looks very similar to the original. I like the new semi-automatic rifle. I was disappointed there wasn't anything like it in the original.

The graphics, effects and guns are all certainly in alpha phase. They are constructing the game, doing what they want and then later making it visually and technically appealing. These guys are also obviously amateurs (apart from the player, he was dominant) so there is really no sense of objective, it is just chaos. Look at the first Resistance multiplayer footage and compare to the actual game. This is like that, but this is even more pre-Beta.

as much as I cannot wait for this game... I have to admit it was only ok. And is it just me, or does the car jumping and swimming look a bit like Half-Life 2? (not that it's a bad thing, HL2 is amazing and the more games are influenced from it, the better)

@Vekta - im pretty sure most people don't know that Insomniac games have said before that, their process is to get the game completed entirely, THEN polish up teh visuals.

@Vengeance - lost of people say that but come on, it's freakin car jumping OMG! it's not like there is a gravity gun O_O

Good for you, no one cares.

I wasn't saying it's a direct copy or anything, because it's anything but that, but some (like myself) consider HL2 to be a benchmark for how shooters should be designed, and since it came out i've been seeing some games use some slight gameplay elements (it's hard to explain this, it sounds like i'm saying it's a ripoff or something) a lot more, it's just that the game has become as big an influence to shooters as Indiana Jones has been to adventure stories.

I played all of HL2 just to see hwat all the hype was about it. i found it pretty boring at times and the main characters being a mute was pretty annoying ( i mean he never really made a sound when his ass was getting shot or bitten by sand crabs or w/e they're called) i found the ability to pretty much pick up anything awesome, but other than that i was pretty disappointed with the experiece. i also really hated those black head crabs and those ceiling leech things, most annoying enemies EVAR! the influence i see in R2 to HL2 would just be those flying bot things really and HL is about stupid zombie things and theres only like a variety of 2 (2 zombie types and 2 head crab types 2 sand crap types(regular and big ones) and 1 soldier type). If car jumping was a highlight of a came them i would say its kind of a rip, but neh.
