The camera doesn't look to be that much improved from the first game, but it never bothered me in the first place. I've actually had more problems with the fixed camera in DMC4 than in NG. EDGE just needs to learn how to readjust the camera with the right trigger...
me too, i never had the problem with camera and found the DMC controlled camera annoying at times, they where even points i didn't what to do because the angle of the camera wouldn't let me see key point.
i think the ability to controll ones camera should left open. it gives you persective of where you are. besides people never talking about camere issues in games like gears why should NJ receive critisizism
Seems we're forgetting Eternal Sonata and Bioshock in that list, but whatever... I dont know. The fights look amazing due to the outstanding animations put into them, bless Team Ninja, but this game looks horrible. The graphics feel 1st gen xbox 1 and not 360ish. After seeing the beauty of Bioshock, Gears, Dead Rising, Lost Odyssey etc, you expect more graphically. 1 thing I noticed early on is that the game lacks shadows!!! Something that can easily make the game look better! Check out Ryu and all the enemies, they cast no shadows on the ground and have no shadows on them! I've seen shadows on ps1 games so why is there a 360 game without them?! That demo better come out soon and with some major differences graphically or I sadly have to pull my preorder. I'll just wait for TN to make another DOA or something...I have mixed feeling on this one...
NG2 graphics are very good for a 60fps game. Very detailed (esepcially enemies etc.), sharp, clear and colorful just like the original NG and every other Team Ninja Game.

God damn, saying games look last gen has to be one of my biggest pet peeves. I remember reviewers doing it with Kameo when it came out...but I couldn't remember playing many Xbox or Ps2 games with hundreds upon hundreds of enemies on screen at once.
And Dead Rising? Are you kidding? It had a lot of characters on screen like Kameo, but beautiful?
I do agree that some aspects of some environments look flat and boring(like the Venice level), but I know I'm not going to give a shit at all about a few flat textures while I'm playing. And not everything looks flat and boring; that temple level they demoed a while back was definitely more organic and interesting.
I could also see the camera being a bit annoying at first. It seems that when it switches views for a finishing move it doesn't always return to where it original was facing. That could get a little disorienting and be frustrating if it prevented you from seeing some enemies. Luckily, you move fast enough to just evade and get your bearings again.
I absolutely can NOT wait for this game despite any minor gripes. It's gameplay will dominate.

Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (> 3 Months ago)

Yes some people expect more but can you make a Gears of War with 60fps?
(And pleeease....ET had lame graphics but a nice gameplay (that's why I have this game). But even a PS2 could handle these graphics.

PS2 wouldn't even bother getting out of bed!
Oh, and shadows, I'll agree with you on that. Please say you were being sarcastic!!!!
