I just watched CliffyB play GOW

It looks good. I was watching the streaming E3 Microsoft conference on IGN. It also looks really repetitive.............run, hide behind something, shoot, run hide behind something, shoot, run, hide behind something, and shoot.....

Did you notice the part where there was a Locust up on some planks and he shot at him and the planks started to break? Don't forget that this is the very first level, i.e. the level that is meant to teach people how to play the game properly so that they can use the techniques later. In most SP games the first level is kind of weak, while the game gets progressively harder and better. We've already seen levels where you have to hide in the LIGHT or get attacked in the DARK ;)

There is something strangely familiar about the gameply, almost like a predetermined on the rails shooter not unlike Sony's arcade shooter House of the Dead?

And which game isn't repetitive ?

It also looks really repetitive.............run, hide behind something, shoot, run hide behind something, shoot, run, hide behind something, and shoot.....Just like UT99's shoot run shoot run shoot run shoot run, or Halo's shoot run drive run grab flag run drive run score shoot shoot repeat.

I dunno the whole thing looks kinda scripted which is a little worrying, I've seen various peices of footage from the first level played at different times by different players where they bust out of the prison compound and you can do stuff like go right for an easy breakout or continue forward for a huge fire fight with better payoff etc, choose to watch cut scenes, and it plays out the same on each vid I've seen, just seems kinda arcadey and predetermined, almost on the rails, dunno, just can't quite put my finger on it.

Even so, it looks incredible and I'm probably completely waaaaay off base with my observations, I am seriously thinking of getting an X-BOX 360 and a 42 inch HD TV just to play this game.

I watched the interview with Cliff and Mike who go on to talk about how the game would still look incredible on a normal TV, however, the real visual benefits only come from having a HDTV, it must look absolutely incredible on a 42inch HDTV Plasma.

Bring this game on

CoD-series is also very much 'on rails'. It didn't stop it from becoming popular though

Remember that this is the 'tech demo level' so yeah, there'll be a lot of scripting in it.

Ever complain about Half-Life's first level's scripting?

Well you could always just stay out in the open and kill rather than hide!:lol:
