Fixed that for you. It's nothing new.
Are you basing this on just the tiny demo here or do you have the final game? I'm curious.
I don't mean this to be negative, but I'm slowly seeing why devs would shy away from even bothering to release demos. Kind of damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Back to the demo itself, I'm practicing melee and there's a good number of combos in the demo. There's one with repeated punches to the gut and a big uppercut, headbutt, and I think I saw a kick/dropkick of some sort. Awesome.

Honestly I'm perplexed because I can rock some Resident Evil 4 and Resistance (single player anyway) I really don't know why I'm having so many issues with this game. Its very frustrating. I loved Jak too and while u felt some areas in Jak 2 & 3 were difficult it never felt as frustrating as this demo does to me at the moment.

Any timestamp I should be paying attention to? I might not feel like listening to the whole thing...

seriously what gives, as soon as i went to the area where the enimies come from everywhere. i was dead. i tried to do it gears of war style taking cover and shooting. but there were so many. i kill 1, 2 comes and replace him. i dont like the shooting much in the game. its hard.

uhh..what? Jak 2 had parts where I literaly hurled the controller out the window... and the vehicle combat and the final battle in Jak 3 were incredibly frustrating....far less vehicular stuff for the next Jak please..

I've beaten this demo twice on hard, and made one of my friends play it--now he's getting a PS3 just for this game.

I found the combat easy, and a damn sight better than expected. Actually, I really enjoyed poping up to take down bad guys.
The cover system is great. Cheers Epic.

A lot of people hated PDZ for the same reason. A lot of the bile directed at that game was for a litany of other reasons as well, but the actual shooting feels pretty similar. The cover system, obviously, does not.
don't take this as a slight against Uncharted either. I actually liked PDZ. In fact, the Uncharted demo got me playing it again, and I still like it.
I'm kinda surprised that people are running out of bullets or finding this game to be too difficult on the normal setting. It feels just about right challenge wise.
The only knock I can think of at the moment is that enemies magically know which side of a wall you are on when you are in cover. I don't mean leaning out to fire from cover, but just going from one side of a wall to the other and they automatically fire in that direction without even seeing you. Melee could be tighter, but I like the RE4-Gears gunplay a lot actually.
Since I haven't played Resistance in a while this is about the only game that currently makes me want to breakdown and import a DualShock3. No way am I paying $80-100 for a standard gamepad though.

People worried about there being too much combat, one of the Eurogamer reviewers has finished the game and said that there is a 50-50 split combat-adventuring/platforming.
Make of that what you will.

Anastacio...some -spoilerish- questions
1. Is there more vehicle driving besides Jeep and Jetski. Is there a Jetski part that has more action like the jeep chase?
2. Supernatural story elements or not?
3. How is the variety in environments? Mostly the stuff we already know or some new totally different areas?

Don't ask me how I stumbled upon this, but

I keep playing the demo again and again 'cause it looks so amazing! n't wait to see some of the other environments in the full game. And it really makes a change from all the sci-fi and war settings of pretty much every other AAA game this fall (with exception of Ratchet and Mario of course)

To Anastacio:
Is the demo comprised of a portion of the final retail code?

Awesome graphics, I enjoyed the way the game feels walking around the environment and platforming.
But the combat was screwy and felt weird - its playable and acceptable but it doesn't suit this kind of game imo. Felt like i was just walking into an arena full of zombies with guns with an insane desire to kill me. No idea who they were or what they were doing there or why I should be killing them (just a demo I know! but still).
Like the first combat was like I just walked into a trigger point, they come storming down the hill screaming bloody murder and I kill them. Which was weird, were they expecting me? Do they just storm at anything that moves? Felt like I should be allowed to sneak around this lucious forest and hide in the undergrowth and pick people off from a distance of sneak around them or push them off a cliff and so on. But it was just a shooting gallery but lacked the tightness of Gears.
Some people actually thought combat here was better than Gears? hhmm.... have to say I disagree massively.

Well, as you say, the demo is a portion of the game taken from Chapter 4..so there'll be some story before this, and more after obviously.
Clearly from the cutscene, they were under attack even before they hit the island (the anti-air fire), so whoever was on the island already doesn't want company (Nathan mentions his hope that no one has beaten them to the island). After they downed the plane, they're obviously going to be on the lookout for any survivors, or the parachutists who left the plane.
Even still, though, Nathan mentions 'strangers trying to kill them', so their motivation possibly isn't entirely known at that point (except perhaps, generally, that they're hunting for the same thing Nathan/Elena are).

Answering any of those questions would spoil a lot of stuff and you know that people couldn't avoid reading them...
