Also: My pre-order bonus prise has 20 minutes of Tommy talking about how the sound design in the game is epic and emotional, with orchestra overlaced with pretentious latin quotes being the most innovative element ever introduced.

There was a story about this game on the local morning news show. According to the talking heads, this is no ordinary video game: it's almost like being in a movie! Most of the report could have been recycled from the equally effusive covereage the press lavished on Burn:Cycle, which means games have been verging on the cinematic for at least ten years now.

The reporter mentioned several times that a 70-piece orchestra was used on the soundtrack. Strangely, the game music playing in the background throughout the segment sounded just like the same cheesy synthesized orchestral music that's in all the other cinematic video games these days. The people in the cutscenes looked like plastic gumby figures, nowhere near as realistic as the in-game characters in HL2.
