I honestly want to play this game bad. The control scheme that's at the start of the video seems to be pretty simple and works well enough. Hopefully it won't be one button mashing at the final release. Seems to be a bit of strategy involved with on the fly weapon changes, an analog devoted entirely to evading, and a heavy counter system. I also like the first person aiming when you throw an item/weapon from the stage or enemy. From what they have shown, the game is visually pleasing. Yes, there are some clipping issues with her hair but the game is still being worked on. I also wonder since everything in the stage can be destroyed or knocked around, is there going to be slowdown during fighting with multiple enemies and them being knocked into items in the background? I hope to hear more about this game. One of the few games for PS3 that really piqued my interest. I have high hopes for this game.

Slowdown? I think not. The one thing the ps3 can do better the 360 is it can handle a little more geometery on screen so I wouldn't worry about slowdown in the early games. Then again, once the devs factor in the OS that is constantly running in the background I dunno how well these games will look and perform in the end cause that thing seems to take up alot of resources especially compared to the 360's gamer guide. we'll see but im sure they will optimize to its full potential. Looking forward to this game too, Ill probably buy it when the ps3 is $199 (probably in 2010  sad.gif ).
