@gamingnerd121: So, Eric Alvarez has spoken, but it's a google translated interview. Even so, his words seems like what i'd expect from him.

Obviously, the game has its problems. The departure of their main art director is noticeable as well, because that's one of the things that surprised me. Overall this doesn't speak very well of the game, and i wonder what could've been, should've been in this case.
