LoS does look like it has some great platforming. But then again, from the start, Cox said they put a lot of work into making platforming segments- which was why it pisses him off when people call the game a "Hack n' Slash"
Well, to play devil's advocate, he and his team knew that they were going to have quite the uphill battle to wage. You got the IGA fanboys who are ready to nitpick at any given turn, you got the old-school CV fans like myself, who want to believe, but had to get past the initial and obvious GoW-image and you got the mainstream market, who basically was waiting for a reason for why they should care for this game.
So far, everything is pulling together for THIS game to be the kind of CV game we should have gotten over decade ago, but hell, better late than never. Even Japanese fans who pretty much gave up the series entirely under IGA's "reign of terror" are looking forward to this game, thanks to the serious pedigree behind it via Kojima and a number of favorite voice actors.
And can you believe this game comes out in like, two weeks? October 3-5, depending on where you live in NA/Europe, with Japan a month or so later! I'm ready!
