Deformation looked pretty bloody good. Not as good as DMM is looking, but still pretty awesome. Fire looks pretty cool. Looks like their still doing breakables the old way though, replacing the solid mesh with broken bits on the fly, could be mistaken though.

It might not seem like a big deal, but that "Direct Manipulation" think, where the right thumb stick controls the object in your hands? I've been waiting for fucking years to see something like this. My only hope is that it makes its way into games with sword fighting or something of the like. Really has potential to be awesome, many a time have I pondered how a game would work if you could directly manipulate your edged weapon.

So how does he hold a burning chair, wouldn't it, um, burn his hands?

Um, ya. First, the chair on fire burned too fast and too easily. What is every wooden object covered in gasoline or something?. The door part seemed a bit flaky the way it deformed. It was like 4 inches thick and a pistol was miraculously able to transform it in that way?. Cool proof of concept but needs a bit of tweaking still.

  Agreed. Looks somewhat like the DMM tech which will be in Force Unleashed. : unholydonuts

Pretty neat, I like the logical use of the analog sticks to move the objects. This worked very well in Penumbra, though that was PC. I can't help but think that games like this eventually just break themselves when player expectancy is thrown out the window because you can't always have certain things behaving the same way.
Also, "real world rules" reminds me quite a bit of the "Rural Juror".

This is probably the first survival horror I've ever actually looked forward to. Except maybe the "mysterious" Alan Wake.
