Slightly unrelated, but has anybody seen those Esuvee commercials?
The design of those beasts reminded me a bit of Wanda. :X

If you ask me, the trailers for this game (of which this latest is definitely the best) are up there with Zelda 2005. The way the trailer is split up makes it feel a little less natural as a trailer, but I guess that reflects the different aspects you'll get out of the game.
I can tell you you're missing a great trailer if you really do wanna stay with teh blackout...

You mean, of the Colossi!
I know what you mean though. Art is not as good though. ;-)
What's this about? (nearing the end of the trailer)

Yeah, I didn't mean "Wanda", I'm just lazy. You know, Wanda, Celda, Playstation, Gameboy - the like. I can't be bothered to be more articulate!

I'm 99% sure this will be my GOTY, but watching the new trailer I can see they still have a lot of optimization to do. There're some jerky animations there, and it seems to be pushing the hardware way beyond its limits.
Best theme music ever, btw.

This trailer is the exact same thing as the video I have on my harddrive, dated September 20, 2004. I'm sure it was posted on this forum, maybe rip from some Famitsu disk. Most of it is a carbon copy footage from an even older trailer.
Look great, but I honestly hope these streak blur effects and those lines flying around in between some of the fight scenes, are there only for the purpose of the trailer (and even then they are poor choice, IMO) and that we won't see anything like that in the game.

Damn. I wish I didn't ask Jolene about Japanese girls pissing just yet. I wanted to save myself for this.sammy said:

Are you sure? While some bits are the same as the first "two" trailers (one being an extended version of the other that was about 20 secs more), this one is about a minute longer than the second one, and has a lot of footage that has DEFINITELY not been on the web before now. What is the length of the one you already had?
Also I am pretty sure that streak effect you mention is just for the trailer. It overscans which means it's just an aftereffect to make the trailer look better.
I also agree with the earlier point about a few parts of the animation that need tweaking - I am sure they will do this.

Hey ho, I'm getting max speed my line will allow from Kikizo itself - everyone else getting decent speed?
BTW your torrent filesize for the video interview seems too small, you might wanna check the vid is available "in full".

Yeah, I'm absolutely positive they are the same. I ran them side by side, completely identical. Again, this trailer was not available on game's website, I think, but rather posted here by someone who probably ripped it from the Famitsu.

I can tell you it was not "ripped" from Famitsu, rather got from Sony. Oh well, first viewing for many, still...
Also begs the question, if you have been in posession of footage that most people, Sony staff included (!) have not seen before, why didn't you share it!?!

Are you sure? The first footage is from september 23. I think it debuted at TGS.

I'm sure the HUD has been in past trailers, and at the very least past pictures.

For the record, the original TGS trailer cuts from September and October are in that original article for convenience. There's definitely no HUD and obviously they're both over a minute shorter.

Yeah, no doubt about that. I'm just saying the HUD isn't new, I've seen it before. Maybe it was just me...but there was a picture posted from http://www.namakoteam.com/wanda/ in late February, that's why I recognize the HUD.

What bothers me is that despite my hoping that Wanda will be 100X the commercial performance of Ico, even on fan-packed GAF it always seems to be only the same 10-15 people discussing in Wanda topics. Compared to attention that other key titles get, it is not much, and that seems consistent in other forums (gamespot, etc) as well. Anyone else notice / agree with this?

I saw footage that lasted about 5 minutes at TGS in a private screening but most of that has yet to see the light of day...! I am sure they'll keep it that way and just unveil more tarted up footage, a la Zelda trailer strategy.

Because I got it from this forum! Someone else had it posted here.

Maybe most people just don't find this type of game interesting? I know I don't. Looks brown, boring, and meh... couldn't care about enemies that take up the whole screen.KyotoMecca said:
Man, it's so incredible. Also towards the end you get a glimpse of a character on the floor that has horns. I bet you that this game will have more of a connection to ICO then we expect. I'm skeptical about this "spirtual successor" stuff, some of the game looks suspiciously like it has ties to the previous. Even the outfit the main character is wearing shares striking similarities, and I don't think that's merely because the art style is similar. And that boy with the horns at the end of the trailer looked straight out of ICO, yo.
nah, the main character has red hair, the one shown near the of trailer has black

You're right but it is extremely hard to tell from those screens. It looks like a hat to me but oh well. Maybe there is some crazy twin thing going on where the main character's twin has the horns like Ico did. Of course, I am just speculating. Letting my imagination run wild.neptunes said:
Um. Doesn't look too impressive IMO. Many the video ain't that great but my first impression (from the bird) was need polygons. And that impression carried across t the horse + etc. Interesting visual style though. Wasn't sure if I liked it in ICO. If RE4 = too brown. What's this.. too ... um cyanny?
Some of the bosses look incredible though. OMG @ fucking sky dragony type colussus.
