Just when I thought Ratchet was the best looking console game, I played this demo. Wow. I'm starting to believe the PS3 actually has some juice in it based on some recent titles.

My take on the demo.
+ the pace of the game is perfect for me.
+ Shadows, never seen better on a console
+ lighting, top notch, not over done.
+ Replay value, such a short demo but i've logged many hours on it.
+ AI on Hard seems like a perfect difficulty to play the game through the first time.
+ Animation, love how Nathan climbs and jumps onto things.
+ Controller layout is perfect.
+ Of course the graphics as a whole are awesome.
- The jungle for the most part was just scenery. Hopefully the full game has parts where your actually in the forest.
- A few minor glitches such as the leaves floating in the air not moving, just hanging.
- bullets dont make marks on some walls or dead bodies.
I really like this game, gotta be the best demo i've ever played. I love how you can go from stealth--> FPS--> duck and cover tactics--> hand to hand combat all in one battle. Approaching the game this way is extremely fun and rewarding. Not many games can blend these elements together so well. It's just fun to play.

I agree. Best demo I've played all year.
I doubt that. It may also cause a camera nightmare, I'd think.

anyone figure out the hand-to-hand combat? like how do you do those flying kicks, and when you execute combos, are you supposed to press the buttons right after the next, or do you time the button pressing with Drake's actions? and are [ ] and /\ the only buttons involved? i've done a few different combos but i was pretty much button mashing. some of the combos i've done were pretty satisfying, but i don't know how i did them. i like how when they're close to a wall, Drake's set of moves changes and when you catch them from behind, you snap their neck. :smile:
Looks like that's all just a bad rumor.

From my experience button mashing doesn't help at all.
Press it sequentially would make your combo much better.
important thing is to push the buttons one time each, and try to time them nicely.

The trees could be sparse with lots of vegetation, boulders and logs on the ground.

so you're supposed to time your button pressing, not just one right after the other? for example, the combo they tell you to do is [ ], /\, [ ]... do you just press the buttons quickly or do you press [ ], wait for him to punch, then press /\ etc.?
edit: i guess you're supposed to time it. i wonder how you do other combos though.

The ruliweb screenshots showed at least one other combo.

i've done at least 2-3 different combos but i don't know how i did them.
That's nice to hear
I'm waitting for the manual (RTFM!!!) for the combos. I'm not into button mashing, I don't have the patience to die a million times in order to learn them. I'm guessing that the manual will at least explain the way you need to press the buttons if not some of the combos themselves.
Besides, from up close, it's really easy to either group your shots or take them with a headshot. I guess though that reserving ammo is important in this game.
I played the demo a few more times last night, I have to say that I was a bit wrong about hard. I must have been lucky the first time, 'cause I died a few times and needed to be carefull. I'm guessing that later in the game hard could be REALLY hard!

Sure it's different combos as in button presses? Personally I thought the combo portrayed is context sensitive, but the button sequence remained the same.
On a side note, my favorite thing to do on hard difficulty at the moment is to take out the batch of enemies (the ones in the first major area you drop into) by stealth.
Heh... I didn't even check to see if there are fish in the water.

Was told the big ones cast their own shadows, and all of them can interact with Nathan (e.g., swim around his legs, and Nathan would avoid stepping on them sometimes).

As expected then!
Also, if there had been any doubts before, it's now confirmed that while all the movies have been rendered on the PS3, they are included and played back as movie so they can stream in game data during the movie playback.
Here's some more information on how they managed to fill the BluRay disc:
