I think Heavenly Sword's lighting in particular was scaled down this year. And I didn't see any massive scenes with loads of enemies hoisting flowing banners... did I miss something, or were those now shown this year?
Honestly, I've found the best gaming to be on PlayStation consoles for two gens now, but suddenly Sony seems to be showing me more smoke and mirrors than concrete goods. I truly expected to be blown away by tonight's demos and get a taste of what "the real next gen" is all about. But what I got was 15 minutes of Gran Turismo 4 in HD, a poor-looking F-1 game, no Killzone, no Motorstorm... not even MGS did a lot for me.
And Tekken 6? Holy shitcakes, Batman, what's going on?
All right, I won't say I was completely "unimpressed" by Naughty Dog's new game, but considering what Sony had set me up for, I can't help but feel they failed to live up to their hype.
