Having the world dynamically respond to two potentially contrasting characters would be very difficult, and likely cause at least more than a few ugly bugs.  Say, a person cheers as you walk by, then cowers at the same time as your cooperative buddy comes along.  Ew!  Personally, I assume that was one of the deciding factors, at ...

Depends; I haven't looked into it, but how does trading/gifts over Live work? Do you need to be next to them in real-time, or pseudo-Viva Pinata style, where you can simply send a gift via the in-game courier to someone on your Friend List?  Other than that, though, probably not.  Since the co-op henchman is simply based on the co-oper's ...

Other than possible legality issues that can stem from that (matching serial numbers, etc), some of us (or, I, at least) have the Halo 3 console, which isn't so easy to find about any more...

Worked that time.  Much more gratifying than YouTube.

Will give Mplayer a shot, thanks.  Totem and VLC didn't seem to like it, but who knows, with WMV!

Aw.  Bubble burst.  The guide lists all of them then, eh?  Including bounty hunter and whatnot?  Too bad it's not just a partial list!...even if I could plant/grow crops to sell/eat on the side, or feed the family, it'd be fun.  Sniff.

Really a shame there'll be no farming.  I could invest so much time into that... I would love a game that includes what Harvest Moon has, yet have the game be more than that (like... well, Fable II with farming!)

Unrelated to the actual trailer content:I can manage the zip file, but unfortunately, Linux doesn't handle .wmv files as well as one might like.  It would be nice to have an alternative version (*.avi.tar.gz?).  I couldn't get it to play at all on my computer, and it didn't convert nicely to avi.  At least there's the version on ...

Fair point!  Remote was a large exaggeration.Besides, different facets of strength brings different morphs, I would imagine.  Physique would likely be your body in general, for example.  If you don't want to be large, you know what to avoid!

Yeah.  Probably just one slot per character.  Would make sense.
