I preordered this from the PS Play promotion, will grab it once the store update is live.
Just a wondering, does this game:
a) Relies heavily on the use of the dpad (quick reactions and/or lots combinacion of directions, fireball motions, etc)?
b) Don't (only to go left or right, maybe ducking)?
If a) I'm getting the PSN ver., if b) XBLA ver. since the 360 dpad is pure evil
Any help?

Oh, sweet! These are the same guys making the Aliens game for the DS!
First off OP, the first two game were not horribly at all. Bloodrayne 1 was a competent 3rd person quasi PC style shooter with a bit of a twist in terms of setting and theme. While not a AAA game, it was fun and enjoyable.
The second is one of my favorite melee combat games for the PS2, I liked it better than either GOW or the last two DMC games. I think its pretty underrated.
I know in terms of the GI score this game got a 7 because it was too hard, don't know about the OPM review.

Played the demo, liked it. Combat was pretty shallow, but the music and graphics were great. Very iga-Castlevania type music. Why was I randomly being killed by green gas (I haven't played a BR game before and I skipped the intro, which probably explained it)? If it was $10, I'd buy it. $15, I'll wait for a sale.

Playing it now. Music is very neoclassical/yngwie malmsteenish... very purty game, slight anime style twist to some of the graphics. So far not as hard as some castlevanias but still fun with some wow double rrainbows factor. I preordered so I got the high class hooker experience for the crack ho price.
Loving it so far.

I like the demo! Looks great and the music is up to par as well. The end boss of the demo (that you couldn't fight) was such a rip from Castlevania but I dont give a fuck. Really debating preordering this game right now but I have too many other games to go through!!! But, yeah....I'd highly recommend it. I wonder what is Iga gonna say when he plays this game???

played through the first chapter just kind of experimenting with the moveset.
I like the amount of options they start you off with. I like action games giving you the full toolset from the start instead of locking moves behind tutorials and shops.
Anyone know how to detonate infected enemies?
Laughed at being able to bite loop enemies for a bit. Made me think of Slayer lol
What does shallow even mean? Why are people throwing that word around?
The game starts you off with alot of options. It's not the game's fault you choose to mash square. Experiment.

Joystiq also posted a review: 4.5 out of 5.

I often times disagree with Joystiq, but that was a nice review, that seems to value the game properly.
I have no interest in Bloodrayne as a character, or the series, but this specific game looks like the 2D HD Castlevania that Konami for some reason cannot make, lol. Looking forward to getting to try out the demo myself on Live tomorrow!

Just played the demo, it seemed pretty cool. I really liked the art style and the music fit well. I was surprised at how much blood comes out of an enemy if you decapitate them with a dash attack, felt like a third of the screen. Might pick it up later in the month along with RE4 HD.

Triangle. It's pretty fun doing a quick Square Circle Triangle and turning an enemy into a bomb.

this game is handdrawn gaming at it's finest. this thing is fucking beautiful. but it's beauty hides a cruel mistress. this thing is fucking hard. i admit i am an old fart but this reminds me of the good old days. in both bad ways and good. i wish it was just a little more responsive but i will adjust. the soundtrack is glorious. i just sat at the title screen and admired the music and the animation. i can see this will be one of those games that seems deceptively simple yet once you really learn the ins and outs of the system you can pull off some amazing shit. i cannot wait to see some youtube videos of people once they get really good. i will never pull it off but i bet someone will eventually pull off a 1 life run. it seems old school in the sense that memorization and applied skill will pay off in spades. i had immense amounts of fun with it so far and i just completed the first level. damn there are so many games to play right now. fall has truly begun. oh well, this worm chow is off to get better hopefully.
wayforward are masters of 2d in my opinion. i cannot wait to get my hands on aliens infested.

shallow? fuck that noise! This isn't borderlands or assassins creed. it's an action game first and foremost. methodical isn't shallow.
I LOVE this game. this could be my favorite DLC game to go with Hard Corps: Uprising.
played the first level until getting an S rank at a bit over 100K. like joefenix says, this is absolutely the real deal. finally, a game for the hardcore after swimming through piles of shit for so long.
i am more then ready for a future onslaught of stuff like this

I am. Doesn't feel like there's lots of options to me. Feels like it's not rewarding to experiment so far. Seem like a bunch of meat bags with no challenge.
I haven't beaten the first level yet, but it reminds me a lot of Thor on DS.
Edit: Up to level 4. Still feel the same.

Pretty fun game. Only complaint is how long certain animations take to finish, preventing you from jumping or doing other things. It makes it feel slightly unresponsive in certain cases.
I also think they made the wall jumping completely wrong. Every game I can think of that lets you jump off walls has you press away from the wall when you hit jump or just before you hit jump. They've completely reversed that mechanic in this game for no good reason, making it counterintuitive IMO.
