Finally got to watch this on the big TV. Looks utterly stunning. By far the best thing to come out of E3 this year. Really hope this makes it out before Christmas now.

I thought the huge glowing circles in the environment would be for super-jumps (I presume from the woman), a new way of getting around in certain areas, maybe?

It looks fantastic, the fighting especially.

They’re just an easy way of telling the player where they should be aiming to go. Huge glowing circles isn’t the most elegant of solutions I agree, but I don’t think it’s a huge concern.

I’m a bit concerned about those glowy bouncy circle things.

This will be the greatest piece of art ever created by man*

(*apart from Diablo 3, natch.)

That trailers sold me on this. Shades of Ico in the style, possibly echoed by the second character, and the combat looks very nice.

That won’t be in the game. Betcha.

Wow, that’s just fucking lovely. Coupled with the Sigur Ros soundtrack it’s got a real “Ico” look and feel. Straight to the top of my ‘want’ list, that.

Sigur Ros? Ubi just won major cool points from me.

This game will be epic.
