People need to argue about everything. You can't expect another six or ten minutes trailer, honestly. We got all good trailers (Red Band, Nuclear, Reveal, E3 2015), but I think doing those require time and money (you need to license the song used too, and that costs a lot), Gamescom is a "minor" event and the game will be released in 25 days. so this trailer is great as it is, I didn't even expect another trailer, just gameplay sections to show some features.

I see.
Tbh I even think it's quite a long trailer. Hollywood style.

Just realized that Snake wasn't trolling and just linked the wrong trailer. MGS V trailer is solid.

SE needs to find new names for charaters :l
All looks the same, expecially because those are italian names, plus latin names like Ignus etc, remembering who is who is difficult.
Click to expand...

Well in the case of those two, remembering who is who doesn't much matter. Luna was added when they removed Stella from the story. She even has the same middle and last name as Stella did. They were never intended to exist alongside each other.

If it helps avoid the confusion of having a normal Italian name though, her real name is Lunafreya, Luna is just the shortened form.

That FFXV trailer was horrible. No context, hilariously-bad broken English and a shot that goes on for way, way too long.

I now finally understand what it means to be an FF fan these days.

I'm excited for FFXV, because it finally means people will stop hating FFXIII, like they stopped hating FFXII when FFXIII came out.

IG made the KI game so they'll make a good port of it on PC.

I enjoyed this quiet simple momeny of emotion. Without needless explanation, the facial expressions and whay he did was enough to tell a story on it's own.

Trying to be emotional doesn't make something good. I get what they were going for, but there's no context to anything, and the whole setup goes on for too long without any understanding or payoff. I don't care that some guy's hugging his kid for 45 seconds. Had there been some context or backstory related in this trailer (and not a couple lines in broken English), I probably would have been able to sympathize more with their plight.

That's false. Whoever started saying that didn't realise they were looking at the time the sub was last modified. It was created last May and has had Arkham Knight in it from the off, with the game's secondary data depots (additional languages) being added about five months ago. IG had plenty of time.

I think we just have different taste. I enjoyed it very much even. Does you need to know more than that there is a father hugging his son in the face of a literal giant danger he is looking at to feel something? The Chariot does not.

Well the kid looks like the main guy from the demo so it might be that he is a prince and his father, a king?, is worried about his future or his son's future. As the camera panned out it looked like three separate figures in the sky line, like actual entities. Not a lot of detail but enough for me to enjoy.

Yeah, I do. For all I know, the guy's giving his son a hug because he slipped and skinned his knee on the ground. Especially for a heavy plot-driven game, these kinds of things are important.

It's one of the laziest trailers I've seen in quite some time. Like I said, I can sympathize with the massive number of people over on Gaming-side who are disappointed.

The sleepy son obviously has no idea of the burse the father carries. Look how he is rather annoyed in childiah innocence than worried. The father looka up in the sky, both because there are actual giany things to look at and because he is looking far ahead, in the future. His face and how much he keeps his son to him shows that it looks grim. Defnitly not a knee accident.

That Final Fantasy XV trailer was horribly done. I'm sorry. I like emotional scenes and don't need any action, but the only thing I felt with that overly long scene was uncomfortable and awkward. Plus the broken English didn't help either.

Again, that's just inference from a handful of shots. It means nothing to me because I have no understanding of the plight of these characters or their world.

I'll say the same thing someone else mentioned on the topic. It's hard to relate to situations which we know nothing about it, just based on basic suggestions and some sappy music alone. The more made-up the situation is, the less easy it is to relate to without additional information. It's especially hard to care about characters you aren't really introduced to. It's basic storytelling 101.

The difference between XV and a trailer like this is that that the latter gives us a situation we have context for and can sympathize with. The daughter is being attacked by forces outside of her father's control, it's a desperate struggle to get back to him, they're "everyman" characters and it plays on base parental emotions.

Even if I was a hardcore fan and invested in this 110%, this was a poor trailer. The time for teasers is over. It's been two years of this, and we're still getting vague teases. The KH3 trailer was better than this (showing off attacks and gameplay), and that was with S-E in full-on troll mode. Star Ocean 5's trailer was better than this, and that was about as basic as it gets (3 friends go on a journey, and you can jump seamlessly into combat).

Look, I am not a fanboy, I own three mainline Final Fantasys and didn't play any of it, I am not excited for FFXV or any other FF game. All I am saying is that we have different tastes and that I enjoyed it because it touched me. Plus, when it comea to trailers I actual like not having too much context. I hate american style trailers that just spurgle everything on the watcher. Let me the story truly unfold in the game.

I agree with you here, I especially hate movie trailers that have all cool scenes of the movie in them, also spoilery trailers of games, like you know, showing all cool ingame locations, all characters and such.
Then again, I'm not entirely sure a trailer is good thing anyhow, I try to stay away from them if it's a game I'm sure I'll play.

Just stop right there homey. I didn't even quote the guy. I saw a convo about the trailer and I threw in my two cents on how I felt about it. "Opinions. How do they work?"

I was disappointed by the lack of gameplay but as someone who finds FFXV's cast very off-putting it at least managed to make me care for Noctis a bit more.

Don't mind expansions or seasons (which I guess is many mini expansions) but what is listed should be the base game.

Also why this crap when the core game itself needs a ton of work on it. Why they working on expansions they should be working on the core game play.

Also new players get the season plus base game for forty. Lol.

I have a kid about that age so these kind of scenes always get to me. I thought it was nice and it's a shame it's getting torn apart because people were (rightfully) expecting new gameplay.

I agree that the pricing is bullshit, but that planetary landings and so on would be paid content was known since the kickstarter campaign. I know it's not really an excuse but everybody knew it won't be free...

And this stuff was probably worked on from the beginning to be later integrated into the game, I don't think they stopped working on the main game to develop this

Has MS said anything about Quantum Break coming to PC?

I'm shocked, but Scalebound might be the first Platinum game in a long time that doesn't do anything for me. Even Transformers looked decent to me and I'm not a fan of that franchise... how strange.
