Jeff Gerstmann got to play some at PAX and had a few impressions on this weeks Bombcast. The main highlight to pinpoint is that he said it all felt frame perfect to SoR2. Apparently had tons of sound effects as well from the classics.
He's been raving about Yuzo Koshiro like some of us here and from the vibe he got from the DotEmu team at PAX, they "might" have another big surprise... or something eventually. They felt simply just announcing the game itself was a big deal for starters. So... who knows. I don't think Jeff really knows the but the vibe he got and conveyed on the podcast was hopeful about Yuzo being involved or that they know the fans want him.
