um this is the same charles cecil that did a carol vorderman and was in and on everything saying how great and revolutionry In Cold Blood was going to be.. until the game was released and he shut up for three years. Its his job to hype things up and in his interest to create as much attention for BS3 as he can, which is what any good or bad developer does, but it has to be taken with a pinch of salt and can never be taken as impartial.
it would be easier to push the game as an adventure because of the millions of people that bought the last two, all the revolution fans and that other than BS3 there arent really any high profile western developed adventure games to rival BS3.
I'm not trying to start an arguement here but from whats been shown BS3 is very close in terms of gameplay and action to prisoner of war and harry potter. Neither of which were considered adventures by the adventure gaming community. This jumping & action stuff "should" be fine but we dont know yet. There are many games like Primal & Zelda which are action games but dont even involve pressing a button to jump.
Being a true adventure or not doesnt effect BS3 in the slightest anyway, a good game is a good game no matter what its labeled as. Although its sad how this gets all the attention from adventure game websites and other next generation games that dont feature the slighest hint of action or non-adventure elements get sidelined
(like JA+/AG and co. havent mentioned Glass Rose or Gregory Horror Show and it took two years and an iffy PC conversion for any adventure site to go near shadow of memories. Although thankfully the non-adventure games sites gave it enough attention for it to be a worldwide top 10 hit. Which is more than can be said for poor old Phase Paradox which never made it out of japan because no-one in Europe or the US wanted a console adventure game)
