Can't say I'm impressed with that footage...
It looks like a Half-Life clone without any sort of real hook. Aren't demos of this sort supposed to show pieces of the game that make it look really appealing? I mean, HL2, Doom 3, and even more recently, Prey all presented some pretty interesting looking sequences. The gameplay shown here all seems a bit dull...
We'll see, though. I'll certainly give a shot.

sounds like they're going to bring this to 360... interesting.

I'll definitely check this out if it comes to 360. I don't get why 2gb is too big for the Marketplace? I could have swore I already downloaded one demo that was nearing 1gb, and it didn't take very long at all.

Well, we don't keep our demos on our hdd forever so that room is easily replacable. If SiN Episodes comes to 360 via the Live Marketplace then you have 2GB of data you don't want to get rid of, on only 13GB of space. It would be nice to be able to get a hard copy back up, especially when you will be paying money for the game. I can back up my games on Steam, so I'll get it from there.

Assorted impressions.
-I hope they weren't playing it with the AI "working" (the game features autoadjustable difficulty).
-The shotgun is pretty violent.
-Some models need more polys (check the NPC near the end).
-The melee animation is pretty stiff.
-No gibs. This is a very, very bad thing that goes against the ultra-bloody first game.
-The phosphorus grenade rocks, but it needs some flash.
-The voice acting is odd but I can't judge it properly as English is not my first language. Are they trying to "fake" some accent?
-Fuck bump mapping, health dispensers are the new lensflares.
-The big mutant is pretty cool.
-One of the coolest things about SiN was shooting someone's head off and get his body armour intact. I can't see the enemies dropping their vests =/
After being burned by FEAR I think that I'll wait till someone gets the game first. It hurts me to say this, but so far it is not what I was looking for.

I totally agree with all of that, FP.
While SiN is certainly a very dated game by todays standards, this doesn't really seem to keep any of that spirit alive. Like I said, it's a Half-Life 2 rip-off...but doesn't seem as exciting. I really hate to say that, but that's exactly what I got out of that video.
I'm still curious, but my interest has dropped significantly.

I posted my GAF message on Ristualistic's board and got a response:
I feel kind of relieved.

So, this is gonna be released on Steam via "chapters" am I correct? Is it gonna be like 5 bucks per update?

You are correct, but the price per chapter will be $15-20.Somethingblah Cock said:
pretty much agree with dark and funky 100%
the game seems like a TC of HL2 and that's DEFINATELY not what I expected from this...except for the mutant and some of the weapons, it didn't even LOOK like SiN
the eye tracking and facial animation is bad...just bad...
the rag doll is a bit wonky (but still looks good) and is that autoaiming? the original kicked ass for being the first FPS I played that punished you for *barely* missing a headshot by less than an inch =\
The fire effects look bland and fairly similar to HL2, as does your means of putting enemies on fire, and the radius of the explosions that put enemies on fire is too large for the explosion sprite/effects.
this movie killed my enthusiasm (and fuck spelling if I got that wrong) in ways that I didn't think it could...I think my initial impression that this looks like a HL2 TC is what I fault it for the most...it just doesn't appear to have that SiN feel if that makes sense...
enemy voices need to [be] cheesier :b
