Some of those shots evoke memories of the better parts of Fahrenheit.
Trailer's looking good, but I think there's a chance of it turning out a bit too theatrical for it to truly reach their ambitious goals. I'm sure it'll be more emotionally involving than most other games, but I'm unconvinced by its ability to remain wholly convincing. Be it the animations, acting or writing that faults.
Fahrenheit never really had this problem as it was batshit insane. But regardless, I'm really looking forward to this game. I'm skeptical about their ambitions, but I have no doubt I'll enjoy playing through it. There are things Fahrenheit did well, and I expect more of that here.
Cop dude is the cop, father guy's family got dead because of the killer or some such, journalist girl I believe is a journalist and hooks up with father guy in search for great justice, and then there's the fourth dude, a serial killer with multiple personalities(?). Maybe the big twist is he's actually all the other characters and then at the end the kid was the murderer all along.

But different point of views (or is it points of view?) is sweet and intersecting storylines is the shit.Speedymanic said:

People like the music, huh.
I thought it ruined an otherwise decent trailer.
I think some vocal jazz would have done that trailer wonders.

I swear to jesus/allah/whoever you all better try and spread the word on this game. Shit like this doesn't deserve to not sell that well because it isn't a shooter or some random generic game.
Good lord I can't wait.

The trailer is just further proof of how terrible videogames are in regards to subtlety. It's both embarassing and disappointing.

He almost looks like "John Sheppard" from Stargate: Atlantis series.

Loved every bit of that trailer.Speedymanic said:
Still really excited for this game. Just the concept of attempting to tell a story about a fathers love for his son is amazingly awesome. Though I don't know about the acting. The voice acting doesn't sound right, and the character's look like when they emote I won't be very into it. Like with MGS3 (and other games) I'll be able to overlook it enough, but it will be in spite of. It would be nice if we got the acting (voice and animation) quality of Uncharted in this game. I might even have to look away to get the full affect. But it's a step in the direction I would like to see some games go.

I would direct you towards Last Guardian and the last two Uncharted 2 trailers, but you can look them up on your own if you care.PowderedToast said:
This trailer is perhaps the proof that this game might have that problem though. I keep thinking that Fahrenheit had better voice acting. Maybe they will sound better in the context of actual scenes, rather than the trailer voiceover, I don't know. It's the only thing that worries me about this game, which is weird considering how Fahrenheit got that right for the most part.

I agree with the voice acting :lolDark FaZe said:
Still though. The story presented here looks very engaging. Quantic Dream has always had a way of pulling me into their stories, and this looks to be no different. I thought the trailer was well done. My anticipation levels for this game are definitely rising. One of my most anticipated games of 2010.

The trailer does pour it on a bit thick, but I still thought it was amazing. The last footage, the garage scene, was really disappointing for me, but this has got me really hyped again.

framerate looks stable.

Pleeeeeease let them nail the framerate. Please.
It's looking more stable than the last trailer but still needs some tightening on level 3.

This game just isn't doing it for me.

That's ambient? It's cliched Hollywood man against the world orchestral. It fit the trailer perfectly, because even with your eyes closed you can see the grizzled unshaven man driving a car at dangerously high speeds and being hurled around by explosions.
It doesn't go very well with the gameplay they have showed, and I hope it won't with the rest of the story.

Man this game seem like it's going to be an epic roller coaster. I can't wait to play it through the first time. I will accept all mistakes on my first run. No restarting if I screw something up, if that's even possible. If not, cool anyway, will make things more tense.
I'm more interested in my decisions and failures effecting the path of the story than having total control of the character like in a shooter game. I played the cafe scene a lot of times in IP trying to see different ways I could do things, if it's deeper than that this will be right up my alley. I've got caught, went out the back door, etc in the cafe. I left huge clues, and such too. That was such a fun segment. Especially being the cop that search for said clues. It was a new experience for me. I thought, "I know exactly where things are, why would they have me playing the cops now." but it worked out great in the end. I learned more about why the character was there, and what was going on. Different angles like that give more life to the story.

Yea, you don't see many scenes like that in games. Which is why adventure games like this need to start showing up more often. Everything is about one guy trying to save the world in a wasteland with guns these days. I thought GTA4 would feel like that due to it's first trailer but somehow it felt empty. Maybe because you couldn't interact with them other than punching/killing. Maybe this game will feel the same due to that.
