Not sure if it was the video encoding but this game is a new level of washed out when it comes to the color pallet. The scenario thats being played out calls for muted colors but it all just looked wrong.

if he talks about books, you better damn well listen
You know, I can see the arguments to the contrary, but I don't think a gritty setting/story needs gritty graphics. A bloody, depressing scenario can be described with vivid colours, after all.BlueTsunami said:

That's it?
The only thing to be gleamed is that they're still working on it.

Yeah, they should've left if off and just use subtitles for subsequent releases.Xater said:

Wait, this was supposed to have something to do with GRRM? I'm confused; I didn't hear anything about that. Or were people just expecting Bioware to do something in the ASOIAF style (more story driven dramatic high fantasy)?
btw, can't fucking wait for ADWD

Really! It's ASoIaF. There, much less confusingNolan. said:
Anyway, my only hope is that this is all just marketing to perhaps entice a few mainstream LotR-inspired sales, and that the game itself remains true to what they claimed in earlier interviews. But I've lost quite a bit of confidence in this title.

I was really thrilled about it after reading some of the stuff they posted a long while back on their forums. After watching that though my anticipation kind of dropped. It just reminded me of dynasty warriors for some reason.

but I am a sheep
Huge dissapointment. I don't know what I was supposed to expect. I remember just eeing that one screen of the guy walking in town. I hoping for an oblivion killer. Based on that trailer not even close.
Well, it's not going be anything like Oblivion, so I don't think that's a very fair comparison. And yeah the trailer (cutscene?), is weak, but this game will rock anyway.Not a Jellyfish said:
I was prepared for a setting that would look uninspired though, so I guess I braced myself a little more than others

Uhm, yes?
30 seconds which are supposed to give us a look at what we should expect from the final game. That teaser is supposed to sell the game world to the audience and it screams LoTR. Which isn't bad by any means, just not what everyone expected after all the hype.
Usually now would be the time PC elitists started somehow blaming this on consoles. How the setting was dumbed down from GRRM-esque fantasy to blockbuster summer movie material because they have to account for all the 12 year old frat boys on consoles who can't keep their hands still for more than 10 seconds.
This is going to be delicious for me as it unfolds.
In an age of the Blizzard super announcements, why do game companies even bother with these small teasers anymore? Without gameplay to back up impressions, it seems like a teaser has a far higher chance of blowing up in your face (see: DNF, Killzone 2) than actually accomplishing anything.
So, yeah. I have to agree with people that it sucked, although it can be redeemed if the gameplay is good. Which we need to see like now.

I know a teaser is supposed to warm people up to a game, and this one certainly doesn't do that. It hardly shows anything, just a battle, some monsters and about one and a half lines of dialogue. I don't know if it's like LotR. That certainly had epic fights and big trolls, too, but it is far too early to tell.Frenck said:
You were right in that the trailer is ineffective, but I think it should be criticized for what it doesn't show, rather than what it does.

Cinematic, in-game footage? Really? Someone at Bioware, and or EA thought this would be a fantastic idea for first time, hyped footage? Along with a name change to boot.
Without game-play and it's many shades of mechanics, dialog or even UI footage, there was absolutely nothing exciting about the teaser. And to think Fallout 3's footage was equally horrendous and devoid of any information.
Enough with the cinematic footage, it is tiring, and it is pointless. Oh how I long for the days when actual game-play footage was key to hyping, selling a game.

Man, let me pile on. That video was really generic. It looked like shit I've seen a bunch of times already. :\
I hope that there's some interesting combat/ dialogue stuff shown during E3. Maybe I can get past a generic setting if the gameplay is really cool. But, man... I was hoping for something more unique for this teaser, but everything they showed looked so dull.
The managed to show both too much and too little all at once.

As goofy as it sounds, if there's a console version of this game, Bioware would lose a shit ton of good will from their PC fanbase. This was supposed to be their return to the place they were best at.
Of course, this "trailer" was a bad start to anything. PC only, console only or iPhone only. Fugly trailer. =(

I don't think this teaser was "supposed to give us a look at what to expect for the final game," merely show us more about the game than we knew before, which the idiot Chris Priestly in the DA forums will say it does, as anything thing that says anything at all about the game is "revealing information" to him.
A teaser is supposed to make you want the product or care about it more. That is the purpose of a teaser, and this one is a fucking utter failure. The only good thing about it is the # of units on the screen at once, but even that isn't that impressive these days. They all looked uninspired and generic, and as mentioned earlier, if Dragon Age doesn't feel unique and fitting in its looks/art/graphics, then all is lost. You can't judge anything from the teaser really. Just your (lack of) hype after seeing it.
I'm with people all the way about my confidence and faith in what this game sought to be going way down. Well, there's still E3 for them to really impress us with actual content.

I was waiting for your disappointment. :lol
Did Evilore comment already? I can't imagine this trailer went over too well with him either. They could have pulled this off much better if they were much more cyptic with the teaser, and didn't act like it was a big deal. I hope E3 will show a lot about this game, for the best too.
