Still, Denis did say that were would be more to come later(who knows when that will be though).
Anyway, I don't mind. They can work on the combat animations more and show it off when it's more polished.

Those "cyber-glasses" Heimdall was sporting looked amazing!
Btw did you guys notice the "Spider" embedded on the back of Baldur as he walks? you guys should look for it, it's the silver thing on his back.... Looks awesome!

Ok I watched it and liked it a lot, but obviously there is optimizing gonna get put into
closer to release.
The short gameplay they showed was very cool, very accessable and simple once know how to do it, just like any other game.
I think Denis should have said that the graphics will be like this but will obviously be optimized closer to released.
But great non the less...but I wanted to see much more gameplay.
Heimdalls glasses puts Morpheus into shame!

Damn that's not what I was hoping for, what an anti-climax..!
Footage is nice though, but what happened to this "fatality" business..?!
Was this it: The HUGE IGN blowout..? Lame...
Anyways, I'm gradually falling in love with this game. The game is really starting to show it's potential and I agree that it could well turn out to be a must have AAA title..!
Very impressive stuff indeed, can't wait to see some more actual gameplay footage...

I think they've showed just enough personally. Without a doubt this game is on track to becoming something truly great, and if SK's determination is the driving force here (ie MS letting them finish this proper) I don't think it possibly CAN end up bad.
The norse/futuristic combo is so utterly appealing it's like.. I'm suddenly baffled at the fact that so few have approached it before. There was Gunvalkyrie I suppose, but that's it. Looking into the water beneath Yggdrasil and the "handshake protocols" thing alone is such a fucking beautiful blend of mysticism and technology.

Well, I would've like to have seen some actuall uninterrupted gameplay. Not some tidbits here and there.
It doesn't have to be an hour of footage or anything, just a few minutes pure gameplay without any interruptions or narrative.
And yeah, that combo works really well indeed. I just like the whole atmosphere of the game. It's like with Mass Effect and Bioshock to me, I just want to jump in and explore this entire world and experience...

Character models – many of the wolf trooper faces were not completed and are being completely redone
Heimdal’s model will be significantly upgraded
Animation blending was not tuned on properly in the combat shown in the demo. Too Human looks much better with blending turned on
Animation in general is being polished, and more transition animations are being added
We have not started optimizing specifically for frame rate yet, but we will have a game at a solid 30fps when we are finished
Effects are being added and polished
Lip sync was off by several frames because of a code problem. This has been fixed
We are polishing the 18 different weapon classes. That’s right . We only showed 4 in the demo: 1-handed sword, pistols, 2-handed staff (glaive) and a heavy laser. There is so much more we have not shown.
We are also doing some camera tweaking
18 different weapon classes :)
