Came here to say the same thing. I loved that game until I kept waiting for something else to appear or to see the magical personality of my avatar to appear. And it was nothing...
Edit:
I just watched the trailer. This is basically just black and white rehashed. Even the hand and grabbing people is the exact same mechanic.
It looks like Black & White 3 to me. Even the town hero is just a shrunk down creature to control. I loved both the first and second games, so maybe I'd like this, but the trailer makes it sound like any effort at story has been stripped out and replaced by just generic mechanics.
Also, why on earth would I use one guy with sword to fight zombies when I can roast them all with godly lightning? I guess taking over regular people will be useful for walking around town to view things from a different perspective?
