I just preordered based on the hype, I hope I'm not disappointed.

It's 15 mins of gameplay, with Bozon and Matt narrating. My hype has skyrocketed, can't fucking wait.Linkzg said:
The vid was actually pretty cool, and has got me more hyped for the game than I was before. If you aren't totally sold on the game, watch it.
RE5 and Madworld in the same month, I am not worthy.

Same month? 3 days difference between them for me. I'll probably push RE5 back for MadWorld; few games would make me do that.

Damn, was about to post that. I watched a lot of it before the video suddenly stopped at about 11:30 (upload issues I guess), and I'm feeling really good about my preorder today.
In case you're wondering what's in the video, without spoiling anything:
-It's played without commentary so Bozon and Matt can talk
-New weapons and items (some of which have unique mechanics beyond just being melee swings)
-New BloodWatch Challenge minigame
-Several enemies not shown before; they're much more aggressive and faster than the standard stage enemies, and can do tons of damage (one can apparently do an instakill move if you're not paying attention, and nearly half your bar with a normal attack). Matt/Bozon do die once in the video.
-At least one of the enemies has a unique finisher where its own weapon is turned against it

awesome
Price-wise, I don't think importing is really worth at the moment - but I don't really have a choice. Of course, when the dollar was almost equal to the US dollar, there was nothing I wanted! I really need the dollar to go back up - preferably in the next few days!EatChildren said:

I watched that entire video.
I guess that just validated my purchase even more. It also put a rest to my worries about the difficulty.

Pretty much.
Difficulty looked fine to be honest. The mooks were obviously pretty tame, but the stronger characters did a whole lot of damage. That mini-boss took off like 40% of the health bar in one hit. Matt and Bozon made sure to say this was on Normal difficulty too.
Matt said he finished the video review too and we should see it in a few days. Overall, they both seemed really positive.

As far as I'm aware the soundtrack is not available in the US as a pre-order bonus.

Here's to hoping it will be avaliable after release. Unless someone knows a website that will have it for sale.
EDIT: If anyone from Down Under or the UK would be willing to sell me their copy of the soundtrack please send me a PM. Thanks

It was a contest run last weekend, the first person to reply with correct answers got a copy of the game, shirt, and set of stickers. The 2nd person got a shirt and stickers, and the next 17 get a sticker set.

So, have we gotten any word on NA getting the OST as a pre-order bonus, or is it still PAL only?

I was just gonna give this game a rent until I saw the 15 minute walkthrough that IGN did, and now I'm totally sold. This is gonna be so great.

I really like that most of the enemies are quite unresponsive and weak, but mixed in the packs are mini-bosses and stronger versions that do most of the damage. It reminds me of something like Resident Evil 4 or Left 4 Dead, where you have hoards of relatively tame enemies with some big, hard, evil shit thrown in that really fucks with you.

Gamestop website lists it at shipping on the 10th so should be in stores Wednesday. If you live smack dab in the east coast of the US you should be able to get on the 10th I think(lucky jerks...).

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.

Anyone have any idea why there have been so few reviews?
EatChildren said:
Could be an embargo, also Sega has not released many of their games to the media more than a few days before it releases
They did that with HoTD Overkill, Sonic and the Black Knight and now MadWorld
IGN for instance has had the game for at least a week now but their review is not up yet even though they finished the game multiple times, that leads me to believe there has to be some kind of embargo up about reviews
I asked my Gamestop manager when I paid the preorder off on Friday when it would be in and he said the computer says ship date 3-10 so they would have it the afternoon of 3-11 and that seems to mesh with what others are saying as well
