I'm downloading the vids right now. The first ones were alright, but playing them on the ps2 left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. I might just rent this one and see if it gets me going.
Also, to Deftones, if they are making a profit off of the games, then they are obviously selling. Sure, some gamers don't have a taste for the third coming of the need for speed underground series or the X-teenth coming of World War 2 games, but others do.
Just buy the games you want and let other buy the games they want. There are many different audiences. There are some people who actually like PS2 games who aren't Sony zombies. Most of them are zombies, but there is the casual gamer here or there who just gets a ps2 because he knows the name and plays some sports games or loves the gta series because he feels badass having sex with a hooker in a dark street corner in his 'Cougar' roadster.
There are people who like GTA after all it's been through and what horrid crap it has become, but not me. Some people enjoy WW2 games, but I've played enough of them (the gun styles and dry colors are getting a bit old). There is still room for a developer to do one differently/better than others of it's type, so we'll just see how things turn out.
