That clip seems to show the art direction is much better than the trailer.

I still have a sliver of hope left after this clip.

 

[Portugeezer]

Looks more promising than the trailer.

This looks like cg from the original fable games. If that's the stylized look they're going for, I'm fine with it.

I don't know what the fuck the marketing team were thinking with that reveal trailer.

They were probably told "make it appealing to Fortnite players".

 

[Mister Wolf]

I'm a simple man. I just wanna smash the Dwarf gal and occasionally laugh at Bioware failing at making their medieval Guardians of the Galaxy.

I scanned through the options and the dwarf seems the best option for "would".

 

[FunkMiller]

They were probably told "make it appealing to Fortnite players".

Indeed. Which makes perfect sense because the crossover between high fantasy, story heavy RPGs and hyperactive battle royale games is massive

 

[archangelmorph]

Is this an RPG?

Looks like Uncharted: Baldur's Fortnite II

 

[Trogdor1123]

This looks great. The trailer was so bad during the session which really took the wind out of my sails. Maybe I was too quick to judge it.

 

[semiconscious]

Nah that's not a good enough excuse for PR. There's more than enough fantasy game trailers and even fantasy movie trailers to draw from or copy. They simply dropped the ball.

thing is, there's also more than enough marvel movies trailers that indicate that this's the approach to use when shooting for widespread appeal, eh?...

see also the recent 'dungeons & dragons' trailer:


well?...

 

[BadBurger]

This looks like it plays surprisingly well. This may be my first DA game since the first.

Youre going to have a hard time keeping up since this is pretty much a direct sequel to Inquisition and the inquisitor will also make an appearance in the game. You can always watch a summary I guess.

At least there's no funky colors in the gameplay trailer, I'll reserve judgement until the full gameplay trailer is released.

Which colors are you worried about?

I'm actually glad you posted that D&D trailer (and I was hoping you would) because it proves me right. Here's what that trailer did correctly:

• It clearly explains the plot
• It set the tone of the movie (Fantasy adventure with comedy/action)
• It shows some main cast motivations and personality effectively
• It shows off the fighting coreography
• It shows off D&D creatures you will get to see
• It shows off the D&D items you'll get to see used
• It shows off the evironments you'll get to see visited
• It shows off how good the effects look and blend with the movie
• And to top it all off, it did all of this with modern pacing that newer trailers have

What we have there is a trailer that did everything right. Compare that to the Dragon Age trailer and there is a mile of difference in what's shown and what the audience was given to work with. I'm sorry, but they failed.

? The reveal trailer with the colorful freeze frames. Made one think that the game was going to change art direction like Rage 2 did to Rage 1.
