I just finished playing the demo for Bethesda's new game WET for 360. I AM GETTING THIS!

Its like you are playing all the action sequences of KillBill. No lie.

I find this to be pretty impressive too.
(And found this quite amusing, even if there's not a single shot at gameplay or graphics whatsoever)

Yeah, that freeway scene is straight from the demo. It was very fun.

I just preordered this on Amazon. Ten dollars off for preordering and free shipping. Can't beat that.
It will arrive a few days after the street date. Can't wait!

I played the demo... and honestly, it kind of sickens me.

The controls are fine for me. You'll be impressed by the moves and gunplay you can pull off but by the end of the demo, you're already thinking about all the potential that this game could have had. Swordplay is complete fail. 3 swings and a rising swing after a slide. Thats all your combos. No jump attack. No diving attacks, nothing else. 3 swings and the rising swing. That is all. Way to take the genre in a new direction, guys.

Running up walls is a b*tch, you gotta be in the exact spot and correct movement to either run up or run along a wall. You cant even run up all walls anyway, theres certain parts of the walls that let you do nothing, which honestly made no damn sense at all. Also the jumping is sh*t in this demo, you cant jump on a wall and do a wall run after the jump. You just jump and hit the wall. You cant even jump up straight it always jumps in the direction your facing. This has already been done correctly in OTHER games... so there really is no excuse for this.

So overall, this game is nothing short of ruined potential. I'd rather go back and play any Devil May Cry or God of War title than play WET, even if it were given to me for free.

Oh, and the driving quick time event part was a little... horrible.

Looks like what would happen if the physics of The Matrix were to be applied to the mentality of GTA.
Which is a pretty cool concept.

But people should have realized by now that quick time events are an awful game design choice. We're in the next gen already. Gamers deserve more than "quickly press this to advance in a cutscene".
