Some new footage I haven't seen before:

[Matt]

Lots of people in some shots, but the roads look empty. Didn't the original have a lot more traffic?

[JP]

The first of a series covering the events between the first and second games.

My worries have increased again after watching that, it's like a roller coaster following this game!

In those shots the sequel may way look technically better but I do think the first looks more interesting and a busier.

My main concern with this game at the moment is that whenever they show a screenshot from the game I know exactly where that building is on the map due to it being almost identical to the same building in the first game. Looking at the shots on that link it seems that even rocks are the same shape in both games.

I know they've changed a lot of the game and added underground areas too but I really don't want them to mess up this game.

I'm struggling to imagine how they could mess up my favourite franchise but until I've actually played the game I'm being very cautious about it irrelevant of how much fun the new "toys" seem to be.

ACHIEVEMENTS!!!!

[PeteJ]

Demo. Next Monday.

[Rossco]

Awesome, been a bit unsure about this so a demo will hopefully seal the deal.

[rmoxon]

According to an article that Gamespot have just put up, the demo of this will let you unlock 100 achievment points that go towards the ones included in the proper game, its an intresting idea, wonder if it will catch on...

very keen to see the demo for this as I'm totally 50:50 at the moment, so want it to be great and a day 1 purchase but having seen all the videos there's a lot I'm not sold on yet.
