So underwhelmed by what they've shown so far. I know it's open world, great, but I don't get the appeal at all so far. Son of Raiden runs around a city zapping people. What else is there about this game that might rock? Prototype looks so much more creative, varied and interesting so far. Sorry to be That Internet Hater Guy but really, have I missed a reason to be excited about this other than "It's from Sucker Punch"?

  Don't think so, actually.

  I want to remain hopeful about this because it's from Sucker Punch (I loved the Sly games), but these videos are weak coming on the heels of the ones for Prototype. That lightning zap sound effect gets old after about 2 seconds and then the guy just keeps doing it for the next two minutes.

    Not to mention the fact that the lightning zap animations look so stiff an unnatural. This is coming from the studio that brilliantly animated 3 Sly Cooper games. I loved Sly 2 and Sly 3 so very, very much that this worries me.

  It just doesn't look that fun to play.
