Yeah. I am also pleased that those who thought the original 2006 trailer was just pure concept are eating crow now. I can't believe no one is commenting on the fact that the new screenshot set shows final build versions from that area...
It even looks just as good (Although I wish they hadn't changed the bahemoth's sword. Oh well, minor quibble. The only real somewhat downgrade is a slight reduction in complexity to Lightning's hair. I would even say that this is a closer re...
Here is something that might do that.
Render comparison to final in-game via Neogaf
Agreed, back then this and Wardevil held my rapt attention. In fact, if back then someone had told my they wouldn't even be out yet I would have called them nuts....At this point I am still mildly interested in Offset and pretty much given up on Vaporwaredevil... I really hope offset can still deliver. It was impressive.
2nd that, fission mailed.
Anyhoo, This can only be a good thing. Now I love Jack Black, but the majority of what happened last VGA's was atrociously not funny and just painful to watch.
Hopefully it will be better if they just present the awards and show trailers. I look forwards to seeing how it all happens this year.
Movie digital dist will continue to be niche...we need more reliable speeds higher bandwidth AND people will continue to want hard copy for what they own...thus Blu-ray is going NOWHERE!
Looks awesome, but isn't this PC footage I saw this on neogaf and it wsa teh PC version...
Oh, wow. This looks like it will be a special game after all. In-game hair better than MGS4....facial in-game animation almost as good as cg counterpart. Technically, this game is indeed a masterpiece. The lighting in game is so CG-like. Did you all see the GIANT FREAKING DINOSAUR..IN GAME, OMG!!!
I donno..this looks pretty awesome to me.

The REAL reason:
It was demoed on PS3 instead of 360
Those of you thinking this isn't that great really aught too check out the "Snow demo" coverage, I think overall it is a much more impressive video..

yeppers!
I agree totally.
The materia system was great, but they always do a different magic system for each title.
I know Spoony, the summons are in-fact in game though.
I know the no sound suck, however its because they were all wearing headphones :(
If anyone wants to see the other vid of FF XIII gameplay, I think it is much more impressive and fluid, somewhat even like the original E3 2006 video

If anyone sees this, another part of the demo is in submissions..
80 percent in-game
Also, apparently that was only half of the snow portion of the demo..
The link is there to watch the lightning focused part of the demo too.. It doesn't look quite as immpressive though, imo.
Squeenix redeemed?
Although I agree with some that this new gameplay segment looks a bit meh, I think this is down to the player not knowing what to do really. From the bits of TGS 09 trailer that have leaked however, the game looks fantastic! If downgrades did occur, they do seem minor at best as everything looks really awesome and polished (especially the brief shots of Pulse in-game). There are definately lots of wide open parts its not just corridor like the demo.
Yeah, except the Killzone renders were a little to optimistic in terms of Polys and textures it still looked fantastic, but like I said. FF XIII seems to have literally nailed the render target. The area wasn't just for show, it is in the game.
Also(again no one is mentioning it), it appears that Scene Drive is the ability that Lightning was using to make all the 2006 trailer battle footage seem impossible, I can't wait to really see and play it in action.
