Storm Rider:
Well, I downloaded the demo and it's... short. The flight seems to work fine, although it's a bit disorienting at first. I think the look of the game is also pretty good, it manages to dodge the typical UE3 traps of monochromatic color palate and ridiculous roided-out character models. There's absolutely none of the vertical combat sections in the demo, which seems strange to me since that has been a pretty big selling point for the game. As for the on-foot shooting... it's kind of hard to say from what little there is in the demo. I do know that I was relying on melee a lot, especially when you come across some dudes that are reminiscient of the infectors from Dead Space. It seemed much easier to kill them that way than the guns, which is a concern. Then again, I only had the starting gun and no upgrades, so maybe that's less of a problem as the game goes on.

Also, the soundtrack is very obviously Bear McCreary. It's not as heavy on the pounding bass drums as BSG, but it definitely has his slightly esoteric instrumentation all over it.

Ikrik:
The premise of the game looks intriguing but the more and more I see, the less and less I am impressed.  It seems to be a completely generic 3rd person shooter where the gimmick is the "vertical combat" and the jetpack.  From what I've seen the vertical combat is exactly the same as regular combat, just tilted 90 degrees.  Instead of running from chest-high-wall to chest-high-wall you're jetpacking from ledge to ledge.  The jetpack is interesting and I like some of what I've seen with it.  The problem is that it feels way, way too slow.  I would like a sense of the jetpack being this dangerous thing that you have to pay attention to at all times but from what I've seen and heard, it moves so very slowly. 

Also.  When will people stop using Nolan North for voice acting?  Or at least tell him "Now, we do NOT want you to sound like Nathan Drake, it's distracting."  The guy is incredibly emotive and is a fantastic actor.....it's just that every time I hear his voice I think of Uncharted and there are very few games that can stack up against it.

Felrender:
Somebody at Capcom doesn't know how a demo works.  Not fighting the boss only pisses people off.  And I wanted to fight the Robo-Pangolin.

Melodic:
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn

öde:
BORING.
