The OFFICIAL full cinematic trailer thread

CidHighwind · 2012-07-25, 07:34 AM

Mods, if you'd prefer to remove this thread until official release time, I understand, I just figured I'd preempt the 40 gabiliion threads that will pop up closer to release time with an official thread that can be used to discuss the trailer lead-up as well as release.

That being said, I am officially super-excited for 10 PM EST. Can not WAIT for this day to roll on through so we can finally see this beast.

What do you feel will be included, and what do you think the trailer will show in order to get all the newcomers to the series to be interested? This is likely the first legitimate, full steam ahead PR push directed towards newcomers.

What would you LIKE to see from the trailer, and why?

Taking Over/Under bets on the length?

I'm placing 25 auraxium and 2 plasma nades on over 8 minutes.

I am going to say it will be around 5 minutes.

Trailer for the trailer states that it will begin @ 7pm PDT, so that means it'll be 10 PM on east coast i believe... right? (35 seconds)

Oh I really hope you're right, that would be awesome.

I just really... REALLY hope they're able to convey the scale appropriately. Every game trailer shows ridiculous things that never actually happen in the game, we need people to understand that the ludicrous number of combat units visible in the trailer is the same number that will be on one map...

A good underline to that would be to have a tag line like "Size. Always. Matters" but they probably won't put that in for fear of ppl whining about attracting Battlefield types....

I'm betting on an official release date in the trailer

Bold words sir, I bet if it does have anything of the like it will be vague like coming this winter or whatever.

Bruttal · 2012-07-25, 08:23 AM

Utterly WOW LOOK ITS.... nothing at all for another 13hours 37mins

Brusi · 2012-07-25, 08:24 AM

Hurray for eye candy, cinematic trailers! I doubt we will lean any substantial gameplay or release info from it though...

Might be the first game trailer I spam on my Facebook though ;p
