Looking good so far! The original was a pretty good game in it's own right, but I had the pc version then and it seemed abit buggy at the best of times..

This looks really good. The voice-acting especially sounds good, and from what I've seen of the game it looks like it's going to be an interesting game.

As always, my only complaint with every third person game is, why don't developers stop pi&&ing around and let the gamer choose to play in third- or first-person. Third-person utterly lacks atmosphere for me and is far less engaging. For example, in a battle, in third-person a guy I control is getting shot at, in first-person, I'M getting shot at! If racing and flying games can give us the option, and have done so for 20-odd years, it's certainly time shooters and RPGs did the same.

I loved the original. Don't think I ever finished it though. Got really annoyed on one of the missions near the end and gave up for a bit, then other stuff happened and I never went back. Shame. Maybe I'll install it again...

But this one is looking even sweeter. I love the culture and the sense of humour it has. The teaser videos have always been good for a grin.

Would it be the mission with you having to kill guys in an alley but your idiot AI pal runs in with his baseball bat and gets constantly killed? Drove me insane, I loved the game to. I have really high expectations for the sequel, looks stunning

The game would be s**t if it was 1st person view. 1st person view is only good for shoot-em ups and I for one am bored out of my skull with 1st person shooters.

It might be the mission you have to shoot your way out the church, that mission did my t**s in!
