Swen took the time to reply to a whole heap of comments on his blogI won't copy them all, but I will paste a couple comments on the game's opening:
I didn't think of the brand thing but you're right. It's our strength but also our handicap, so it's something we might have to work on. As for the opening scene - as I mentioned in my replies to others, we'll work on that, extensively. It's indeed the most important part of the game as it gives you the first impression, and we can probably do better than a crab fight.
We played with the idea of a "Source Hunter's Academy" for a long time but it's going to be something better suited to the main storyline. At least, we'll try it. Also, do take into account that an intro is planned before the thing that happens on the beach.
That sounds promising.
