With the original development team gone, what about the stuff they worked on? It sounds like a lot of it is being kept if they're still on track for a 2010 release, or was BR's contribution that insignificant?

Also, is this game going to be like every other third person brawler except not on par with Ninja Gaiden or Bayonetta etc.?

Or will it be awesome? Already, Dead to Rights is looking and sounding like a vast improvement over the last-gen (last-last-gen) originals, so Namco Hometek (if they're taking the lead on both of these) has actually been doing some worthwhile work lately.
