While you are correct, I felt that the original idea ( before MS and XBOX decided to join the show) and graphics that were displayed, as a working engine no less, were ten times better the the final product. No high Res graphics, the controls were dumbed down to console level, and therefore gameplay followed. It seems that it is less to do with the game being a sequel, as much as they tried to satisfy the console people first and we were but a brief afterthought. The demo displays this with its horrid text(perfect if you are 10 to 20 feet from the monitor) and tepid mouse feel ( in the future we are all weightless
) Typically we only see this type of awfulness on console ports. i am worried that more companies may decide to go this same route and our systems will be dumbed out of existance. heres hoping the halflife 2, doom3 and stalker are all they seem to be.
BTW I downloaded the trailer for painkiller- looks better than I had hope:grinthumb
