Its good, but i have and odd sensation of not being overwhelmed.

I'm not too sure why the mechs are taken apart and reassembled and how it fits the game and the lore. Its pretty cool but confusing.

Edit: for the sake of comparison here is a trailer uploaded 1 year ago.

Or this one from 8 months ago

I kind of agree honestly. It was cool but I didn't get a sense of awe from it :(

I would have much rather seen more action because that is how the game feels. it would have been cool if it was more aggressive of a trailer.

Does this mean that the crummy grainy graphics are going away so my game play will be as crisp as the trailer?

i actually didn't like this trailer, it was pretty weak - i expected it to be louder and more intense than that of the alpha gameplay trailer, considering it was a cinematic, plus when the mech exploded, it didn't have any explosion sound and it was underwhelming, i wont say "omggg awesome" for the sake of being agreeable, this trailer was a step backwards from the original gameplay trailer, it has to be said.
DAMN SON! WHERE'D YOU FIND THIS!?
i want keybinding that makes my mech play this tune with acouple twirling beacon lights.

LIke Fast and Furious, interleaving mechanical details during adrenaline moments.  They've already done the somber, gritty, cyper-punk trailer years ago, so this is something short and sweet to draw the crowds I suppose.  At first I thought it was going to be like an Armored Core opening movie - which would also have been pretty sweet..

At any rate, I gotta get as much homework done as I can before open beta...

Thanks, Scapes!

Im assuming its to show what can be expected in graphic detail when "in game" play (meaning it will be graphic intensive, NOT that you would actually see scenes like that.). Just assuming. Otherwise Id say its just for eye candy. ᶘ ᵒᴥᵒᶅ

I thought it was pretty cool how it went into slow motion to show the inner workings of the machinery driving the mech and weaponry.

Great job on the trailer!

It was a an interesting take on the mechanics of the mechs, could have had more explosions but that's just my opinion >.>
