If they spent that much, expect to see it on T.V. soon

Can't really tell what its saying, it's so badly translated.

I hope there will be a better trailer before launch.

You are crazy, it easily cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars, probably a million or more to have made by one of the best CGI studios out there (Blur Studio)

It's hard to articulate what bugged me about the trailer, but I guess I can best describe it as... too RP-esque...

It felt like it was advertising a game where the hero of the rebel army whoops tyrant ass, before the evil purple overlords of all villainy come in as some sort of plot twist. The main hero is killed or almost killed at some point in the middle of the game after they make a crappy attempt to develop an emotional attachment to the hero.

If the trailer went on, I wouldnt be surprised to see the TR and NC unite against a common evil.

I know this is subjective, I'm not claiming to be giving any official review, but I seriously felt like the game was going to be the story of a guy who fought in a war rather than a live war scenario.

I think following the NC character only and having only him speak develops an us vs them mentality within the viewer, and I think what made the vanu seem like some greater evil was the cold an emotionless way in which they acted. I know they are big on alien technology, but they shouldnt be acting like something other than human. I'm sure if that had been a TR cloaker he would have jumped on the guy and viciously stabbed the s*** out of him, which would have made it seem more like an act of a combatant rather than a cold killer

hmm, guess it wasnt as hard to articulate as I thought...

I'm confused.

I thought trailers were generally for marketing purposes. I.E Selling the game not to give out fan service..GASP!

Kitsune · 2012-07-27, 05:24 AM

Dunno why people are complaining... Honestly...

It's a trailer, it's for selling the game.

It was cool, epic, and entertaining. You mad that they made a trailer that made you want more from gameplay or something? Or you just sour that in the end the Vanu won the tossup?

Either way, it was a very well done trailer.

This is a great marketing trailer to drum up some interest. But at release or just after I would love to see some trailers similar to the EvE I was there one.

I really enjoyed the trailer. I liked that as an individual on a humongous battlefield with thousands of people fighting that maybe I could be the difference. Dont get me wrong PS2 is all about team play but the game is going to be populated one person at a time. I think the soe publicity guys have gotten this trailer right.

I absolutely loved the trailer. Full of intense action showing a wide variety of warfare. Just wonder what game it's for.

As some people have said it really did make the game look Single Player. The entire time I watched it I was thinking about Warhammer 40k: Space Marine.

If they do 2 more showcasing the TR and the VS that would be really nice. But as a stand alone trailer it really accomplishes nothing more than a bait and switch.

-edit-
Would have been really awesome if they showed him respawning at the end. The dialogue certainly felt like it was going to lead up to this. A soldier's psychology and how he's effected by this self-perpetuating massive war of immortality and mayhem.

Aberdash · 2012-07-27, 10:57 AM

All them galaxies at the end. Wonder how much AT paid to get that cameo.

Guildion · 2012-07-27, 11:15 AM

The trailer focus on 1 soldier, the future PS2 player.
People who never played Planetside don't care about what faction win or lose.

This is a great trailer, love it. I can't stop watching it !

starshine · 2012-07-27, 11:16 AM

the trailer will accomplish exactly what it was meant to: drum up hype for ps2 and not providing fanservice. the fans will already play this game even without this trailer.

IHateMMOs · 2012-07-27, 12:06 PM

Comon, so close to 1 million.

PredatorFour · 2012-07-27, 12:16 PM

Seems people are blown away by the trailer, not me. Its not even ingame ! People are like "this is amazing!" and its not actual game footage. I cant believe it.
