TBH, I am not. Pretty FMV, with QTE. Choppy char movements. And gives me an over all “meh” feeling about it.

It *does* have choppy character movements – I just played the demo about 15 mins ago. They’ve skimped on blends, for sure.

The walking animations didn’t impress me either OlderGamer, but my pre-order stays put :)

@RGW1982: You may think that the title case makes your comment more convincing, but, trust me, it doesn’t. It adds style, I can give you that…

I’m not too worried about the little things. Sure, the animation is patchy in places, the controls are a bit clunky and the voice acting comes off as a little bit forced… but it’s the next gen Fahrenheit, how could I not love it?!?

The Heavy Rain Demo…caused me to cancel my pre-order. I played both Chapters was thoroughly disappointed!
1. The walking animations is HORRIBLE
2. Graphics border on PS2
3 The Sleazy chapter, fighting was HORRIBLE. Quickly push this button and that button..that removes the realism.
4. Facial animations are off. Rockstar might be on to something with the facial animations they are using in L.A. Noire.
5. Invisible walls…come on let me walk out in traffic and get run over, don’t put up invisible walls.
6. Did I mention the HORRIBLE walking animations, on top of the control scheme of pulling R2 to walk…and the fact that you feel like your character is walking through 4 feet of mud…oh and don’t forget the HORRIBLE walking animations…I thought they fixed that with Resident evil 2.
7. Oh and Camera Angles out right SUCK.
Man I wanted this game, but the Demo killed the pre-order…
Now I will just hope Rockstars L.A. Noire can live up to the hype it is selling.
