SO, that would be general Flying fox. I assume, since he survived, that you fight him multiple times in the game.

http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/13535 This is a video of the king talking to the 3 main henchmen (general flying fox, roach, and the unamed chick).

The characters are VERY interesting, and the facial/body animations are some of the best I've seen. Of course, the voice acting is also very good. It's pretty funny too.

General "flying fox" seemed very funny. Since he asked for money, I think he's a hired mercenary. WHen does the thing with the blades on his back....does he multiply them? Or is the blade on bis back really multiple, thinner blades, which he extends out (like wings). Guess you fight him multiple times in the game. In the fight, he said "you need more practice".....

The girl who wasn't named....what was that thing on her head? I couldn't really understand what she was saying in her little conversation with general flying fox. She had a whip for a weapon. She seemed to have sympathy for roach.

Roach is just stupid! Lol. He is the king's illegitament son, and the king abused him as a kid. From an interview with the developers, in the boss fight against him, you have to break the little shell thing around him. DUnno what his weapon was.

And, I guess the king will be a boss, has the evil-spirit raven, which he becomes one with. And apparently, he wants the heavenly Sword for himself.

It did sound like it cut out a couple of times when they ran up the pillars. Another weird thing was when she flung him across the screen and her blades just hung in mid air as if he was connected to them.

yea, there was a QA session with NT regarding the build. one of the comments was regarding part of the game experiencing the sound cutting out... I'm guessing that was it. at any rate, NT says that has been corrected already in the final build of course. the game looks sweet, can't wait.

Eh...I don't see how that's any different from last-gen action adventure games. It looks better, sure, but the combat and AI certainly aren't anything special - hell, the boss doesn't even attack you once you've been knocked down!

As for the interactive movie sequences - why does every action adenture game have to have these?! They're not fun at all!
If developers wanted their characters to have these cool moves, they should have programmed them in as standard attacks, not force us to sit through a series of repetitive, boring cut -scenes while the game kills things for you.

I had seen that part played live on Kotaku, but the quality was really bad. Seeing it now, I'm in awe. There was a little bit of a sound issue, but we have been told that it is no long an issue. (It's been fixed.)

~-~I don't know. I just can't get exited for this game.:? But I'm not a fanboy. If I was then I would be stating my feelings as fact. I don't care for this game, but I think it could still get AAA.~-~

No I mean their effectivness, not their functionalness. Seemed the standerd 3 hit close combo did most of the work.

Which special moves are you talking about? Their is the superstyle moves that clear out the area, and their are the counter grabs that are instant kills if you time them correctly.

I dunno, I just saw the player trying o start up this swing wherewind started picking up and physics objects started being pushed around several times and that just left an obvious opening to be attacked from, then went back to 3 hit combo-ing the guy.

Great footage except for the button sequences; the lack of sound ruined the effect.

lol, that boss reminds me of the character in my avatar; 'The Monarch.'

If people are still calling this a button masher they haven't exactly played the game. Yeah.. you can button mash but more often than not they will start blocking, avoiding your attacks and getting you while you're open because you're being careless. To do the combos, you need to time your attacks. You need to learn the stances, block breaker moves, how to counter different opponents, etc. It's hardly a button masher it's actually pretty technical.

This is the games PS3 owners should hype. After playing the demo this game is going to be solid AAA. If God of War scores AAA this game certainly should because I think it's better. Also this game does have some puzzle elements I thought it would'nt because of the lack of jumping which would rule out platforming but seem to have some, from what I have seen so far Sixaxis is used.
