Hmm. After reading your responses, I've changed my mind. I'm not sure what I was thinking there, because if it wasn't some kind of insider information that Kotaku was privaleged to, then they have the right to report whatever they want. Maybe Sony got one of their rootkits implanted in me. *checks colon*

I hate to say it, but I have to side with Sony on this one. They had an agreement and it was broken. It sounds like Kotaku perhaps had some privaleged information and took advantage of it. I know Sony has been digging its own grave lately, but it seems like everyone jumps on any chance to report anything negative about them. And there's a lot of it out there.

This game could have the graphics of the original game from the early 90's and I'd be just as excited. Honestly I was kind of disappointed with the putty-like cg look the early screens of the sequel had. I'd rather see something that mimics the look of the comics, close to the way the original game looked... minus the pixels.
I tend to be more interested in fantasy games because they're so far removed from what I'm around every day. Open fields, castles, rivers as opposed to closed-in, maze-like cities, constant night-time settings, a bleak, post-apocolyptic world, a corrupt government.
If someone would make a really original, fun sci-fi game, I'd play it, but for some reason I'm content with cliche fantasy settings.
I can't believe some of you are complaining about decent independent games getting a chance to broaden their audience. Whether or not the developers get the money they deserve from the package, there's a much larger chance now that someone will play one of their games, maybe show it to a friend, they show it to a friend, so on and so forth.
I think its a great idea.
