@AmishKamikaze: Not only that. I kept thinking this is a very pretty Tomb Raider with a cover system while playing the game.

The term FPS didn't come till later. For a long while they were known as Doom clones. No other FPS can give you the feel of an id game. The FPS. And that is why I will buy this game day one. Everything else the game does is just icing on the cake.

@icepick314: And more secure. At least more of the time.

@Michael Dukakis: iTunes? I refuse to install any Apple software on my PC after last time.

@Brian Michael Stempien: From how they're trying to sell it to us, I don't need to. They're telling us how it's gonna be.

You know what DOESN'T surprise me? Everyone here who can't even entertain the idea of why anyone in his right mind would want to live in Saudi Arabia. Without ever having lived there or even talked to people who want to live there.

@Mecharine: Yay ignorance. Let's be condescending not only to Saudi's but to everyone else who obviously has reasons to want to live there. Instead of you know, trying to understand their point of view.

Can we stop calling this a revolutionary game and just call it what it is? an action RPG with narrative. With the focus more on action than RPG.

@Shadowlayer: Yeah, because before the iPhone MS did not make OSs for phones.

The fact that it didn't ship with online coop is a negative.

Classic opening. One reason the anime was so awesome was Osamu Dezaki.

@stuart.luscombe: That's the new opening. Classic opening disappeared for some reason.

Studio 4C? Awesome. I'll play this if the localized version has the JP voices with English subtitles.

@Michael Dukakis: Looks good. Here's hoping it arrives on time.

"I think for me, one of the key things that went wrong for those games is that they tried to emulate the 2D gameplay in 3D,"

You mean it wasn't turned into a console FPS?

Those kids look like they are having fun. MS might have something here.

Still not convinced. So far it's just usual MMORPG stuff.

PC action RPG you mean?

@jimhefti: I'm OK with that actually.
