Yeah, they are trying, but have a long way to go in many of our eyes to get back into "reasonably" good graces with the gaming community. They've always been known as the gaming company that put the $M$ in mercenary. And it will take years of PR to get that ship back on track, if they even choose to bother.

On the other hand, you can't fault a company for trying to earn a buck and using folks as grist for the mill, if those people choose to be used in that fashion.

I agree - compared to many others their stuff is polished …

Here's a DA interview at Giantbomb.com. As some guys on the DA boards said, Dan Tudge sure likes to brag a lot about their game. I understand marketing, but come one.

Anyways, the gameplay parts shown in the interview sure look cool. Can't wait to play it. :)

I've been looking foreward to FEAR 2 for awhile. Fear was great and actually scared the begeezes out of me more than a few times. You gotta love Japanese horror with a western vibe to it.

But you could see exactly what you're getting with the demo.
