Platforming for nextgen as it should have always been -

Very artsy, love the music, great gameplay mechanics. Definitely on my shopping list when it comes out.

Looks fun. Besides the generic music, I impressed.

I think I've seen this before (maybe it's a repost?). Looks pretty cool though. I'll be looking forward to it.

Very interesting. It hasn't been mentioned here before to my knowledge.

Konami should do something like this for Castlevania, but of course, they seem to always have these great ideas like a Castlevania fighting game. Ask anyone what kind of next gen Castlevania they'd want and 99% would say hi-res 2D platforming game. 2.5D works too. I'm just bitter.

Looks surprisingly good once I got a ways in. Very atmospheric, I'm shocked. Looks like you also won't just be able to drop boxes to make your way. Combat looks fairly crap though.

Sold, I'll take it. Any idea when this is actually going to be out?

The only thing that looked a bit off to me was the part where they were flying around a platform with the wizard. Being able to fly usually takes a lot of the challenge out of platformers.

As Ed said, the combat looks crap, stiff and floaty at the same time. The actual platform part looks a bit to slow too, with a lot of breaks in the action. It seems to be a trend in recent times that that the non-platformy bits of a platformer is better than the actual platformy ones. Still, it could be that the trailer just focuses on one game-mechanic.
