Stay off.
Make no mistake: Microsoft is only "nice" while there is something they want. Once they got it they change their ways.

I really hope they lose the "locked head" view in this sequel, no looking up/down. I mean, sure, "legit old-school" and all that but really, we never liked it back in the days either, our PCs just couldn't perform better then.

Quoting: BotonoskiI gotta wonder exactly how they are achieving the enemy sprites. The sprites seem to obey scene lighting to a degree that I have a hard time believing they are pre-rendered
I think they look like regular 3D objects only designed to mimic 2d sprites?

An obvious purchase, if nothing else than to support the one single porting company of AAA releases we have left.
