It looks like they just went into Metals old model, stretched his legs out and called it a day.
I really wanted to like this game but the more I see and hear about it the more I hate it, and I think the developers know that people aren't liking what's there as they've shown almost no game play in the new trailer and the speed segments look like "press the button at this point, good now do it again" over and over again.
I read that the 3DS demos were good so I'll just stick to that I guess.
Also it's really bothering me that people are using the fact that this isn't a main series title as an excuse for poor game play.
