No, I mean the way you melee with a machine gun.

I know, I was just messing around.  In all honesty, it seems fine to me.

Haven't read the previous posts so maybe these were mentioned.

 

Some things that bother me:

1) Having the option of activating or exiting when trying to get out of a VS. It's needless really. I wish he would just hop out like in the original. An option would be nice.

2) [?] Boxes look out of place, though I'm not even sure what they do at this point.

3) When turning 360 degrees the character's torso looks all wrong; it twists around unnaturally.

4) Don't like the new camera. An option to have the camera angle of the original would be nice.

5) T-ENG and mystery boxes disappear too quickly, though maybe that's a design decision.

 

Otherwise the demo is fantastic. And I'm glad to see that the sequel is shaping up nicely.

Really hoping for an Online Battle demo next ;)

Definitely one I agree with, I liked the previous method better.  I probably just need to get used to it though.

That transition sequence is how people get on to hang on the sides. If they took that out, no one could get on your VS to hitch a ride.

Ditto, haven't played co-op (my internet isn't fast enough to play online without lag, only download).  That explains it then.

The game was amazing, but I wish there were more co-op things to do. I know that there is a support weapon and a VS that can have buddies ride on the side of it, but how about adding extra features. For example like giving someone a leg up to reach a high spot,

Thats what the grapple is for

Thats what the Harmonizer is for. It uses T-energy. and You can switch your grenades to your T-ENG gun, and shooot your team mates to transfer your T-Eng to them.

It would also be good if you could co-operate to take down an enemy alien easier. For example, if I shoot the wing of an alien on one side, on the other side of his body something opens up temporarily which a body can then shoot at it to bring it down easier.

You mean like shooting the core on the top of the salamander and making it retract inside, and having your buddy go inside, and shoot the core so it goes back outside?.

I dont mean to be an ass, just seems like a few things you are asking for are already in the game, and you might not have noticed it.

@ Fabrikator

I know all that, they were just examples. But there doesn't seem to be much co-op stuff going on when you play, in all honesty how many people do you see using the T-ENERGY on their buddies?

Most people just seem to run of and do their own thing, I play co-op games to work as a team, not to just have a few extra guys.

As for the core thingy with the salamnder, that's great and all, but I'm talking about just little aliens as well, not just bosses. I was watching a video of these guys running through the jungle, there is no co-operation seen at all.

Is not blasting through enemies together toward the same end a form of cooperation? 

The fact of this is rather that we've introduced and given players a ton of new opportunities to play as a team. There's even a few new gameplay elements that involve working together as a team we haven't even talked about yet. But so far we've talked about a multiplayer VS, sharing T-ENG, Support Guns, sharing weapons, team work to take down enemies, and a BIG one; the Team Battle Gauge. The Team Battle Gauge, as you should know, means that you essentially need to work together to keep that gauge positive. If you don't it's game over for your entire team. 

That said, this game can still be played solo. Everything we create in game also needs to be able to be finished without any help cooperatively, whether actual players or NPCs. 

To a greater degree, just because it doesn't look like there's any cooperation going on isn't a fault of the game, but rather the fault of the players for not utilizing the tools presented to them.
