SPAZ IF YOU WANT TO!

*ubisoft exec watches Mr robot*

*bursts through doors*

"guys I know what we're making watch dogs 2 about!"

"what?"

"I can't remember I was coked up as fuck but it involved young people and hacking with masks or some shit"

 

[antitrop]

O_O

 

[Nozem]

Dawn of what? I can't read it.

Liked the trailer, want to see more.

 

[jacob armitage]

I'm open to the idea of a sequel even though i found the first to pretty lackluster, but that looked terrible.

 

[GlamFM]

That's not a trailer, it's the TVC.

 

[DeSolos]

I hate CG trailers, but at least this one seems to have a soul. It's a marketing research "designed to be hip" soul, but it's more interesting than the first game's soulless vibe.

 

[Strangelove77]

Well, that was really fucking annoying.
Looks like it's trying to aim for a very specific audience. Which does not include me.

Also, this is clearly an ad that they'll show before YouTube videos and shit like that. It's not a trailer. Can't judge the game entirely on this ad, as shitty as it might be.

 

[Strider311]

Iconic bad trailer. Not only was the trailer garbage, I do not like the style and direction of the game whatsoever. I can already tell you I won't be getting this one.

 

[red731]

My initial reaction is that I am really a horse under the mask.

 

[JehutyRunner]

Worth bearing in mind that won't be the full trailer. It's a Twitch ad. There'll be a longer trailer this evening, I'm sure.

 

[GravityInsanity]

What happened to you Ubisoft?

 

[Kas]

Eugh.

I liked the first one despite Aiden and thr driving, but this doesn't really make me want the game.

 

[RE_Player]

I feel bad for Sony or Microsoft if either has a marketing deal for the game. So much better things they could spend time or money on.

 

[everyday math]

Cringe central

 

[F0rneus]

Jesus fuck that looks so corny.

 

[HiiiLife]

best friends with Homefront 2

 

[Illucio]

Ignoring the low quality video, the trailer is shit. I hate the image their going for and the target audience their trying to reach with this trailer.

This is like DMC: Devil May Cry sort of cringe.

They should had taken note of Infamous Second Son marketing material instead if they wanted to go with this vibe.

 

[Lakitu]

Woman/horse head dancing was more annoying than it needed to be. Coupled with the awful song choice. I can see the vibe they're going for but nah... not for me.

 

[KissVibes]

ITT: Buncha white olds complain about this being edgy and douchey because it takes from youth culture, especially urban youth culture.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

Quite a dog-pile for an internet ad that's designed to show nothing more than the setting/premise of the game. Goodness.

 

[Mik2121]

Assuming this is an AD and not the introduction trailer, I don't see the problem with this.
Is it trying to be edgy? Maybe, sure, but I don't understand why people are so negative about it.


(I'm not a fan of edgy and hip stuff in general, but if the game is fun, sure, I will play it)

 

[kevin1025]

Worth bearing in mind that won't be the full trailer. It's a Twitch ad. There'll be a longer trailer this evening, I'm sure.

I wouldn't be so sure. It might be five seconds longer and say "see the gameplay world premiere at E3!"

I hope you're right, though.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Looks dope.

 

[Primethius]

Doesnt look like a trailer. More like a TV spot.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

I feel bad for Sony or Microsoft if either has a marketing deal for the game. So much better things they could spend time or money on.

Like what..

 

[Prompto]

This has to be the leakiest game in a while

 

[Unkle]

I'm so glad Ubisoft's keeping the cringe at an all-time high; the E3 presser should be a cracker.

 

[Vinterbird]

I don't get why CG trailers are still a thing. I really don't.

Or if this is in-engine, why no footage can be shown.

Because gameplay is boring to look at. If you have thirty seconds to sell someone on a game, it's smart to do a theme/experience trailer based on CG or pre rendered stuff. Sell a potential experience or feeling you will have during the game, not the core gameplay loop.

Thirty seconds it not much, and you have to grab people's interest. It's difficult to do that with gameplay.

 

[Nights Owl]

Really don't care about the games. But I do want to say that they must not have given a shit at all to have 2 leaks before officially unveiling the trailer.

It's kind of embarrassing to be honest. If you wanted to try to "CREATE DEH HYPE!!!1" like I know Ubisoft likes to try to do, they let the ball fumble.

 

[keltickennedy]

Hoping this isn't the actual trailer we are getting tomorrow. Maybe it is just separate promos for twitch and youtube.

 

[packy34]

ITT: Buncha white olds complain about this being edgy and douchey because it takes from youth culture, especially urban youth culture.

Sure, reduce everyone who doesn't think it looks good into old white racists. That'll work out for you.

 

[The Flash]

Oh gosh

Cause it's a dumb trailer/ad whatever. That wouldn't make me buy the game.

 

[Alienous]

I don't hate that they are going somewhere pretty original in terms of tone.

I hope it isn't grating.

 

[Skux]

Looks like the urban version of Far Cry.

Complete with topless dude peddling AKs.

 

[UnforgivenTwin]

I'm so glad Ubisoft's keeping the cringe at an all-time high - the E3 presser should be a cracker.

Maybe someone will show up dressed as the main character.

 

[scoobs]

Here's an example of how not to do a game trailer. I got absolutely nothing from this.

 

[red731]

This has to be the leakiest game in a while

One could say that if the game is about hacking, their infrastructure is kinda knees weak arms are heavy.

 

[Morning Star]

This can't be the whole trailer. Maybe a TV spot but not a trailer. Just going off the atmosphere, since that's all we have with this, it looks marginally better than WD.

 

[The Last One]

Yeah, this probably isn't the trailer. Just an ad.

 

[RE_Player]

Quite a dog-pile for an internet ad that's designed to show nothing more than the setting/premise of the game. Goodness.

Setting and premise looks like dog shit. That's enough for me to not be interested in a game.

Most of Nintendo's games are advertised with the actual game engine showing gameplay. So... I dunno.

 

[dtm808]

No game-play, CG. Are they expecting the thing to sell solely based off the name?

 

[rockman zx]

That was bad, I guess they wanted to beat the AC movie trailer music too, they did it!!.

Wait for the press conference.

 

[Xumbrega]

I don't think that's the trailer..

Seems more an ad.

 

[Deadbeat]

Sure, reduce everyone who doesn't think it looks good into old white racists. That'll work out for you.

Hes just upset that Bernie is done. Have some patience with the broken youth of today.

 

[Hale-XF11]

I'm not sure what any of that had to do with a video game.

 

[RichiRamjag]

I like it personally.

 

[daveo42]

Spaz if you want to guys.

Spoiler

I don't want to spaz.
