Support NeoGAF

[RdN]

Impossible to really judge from this trailer... Let's see what they show tomorrow.

 

[Illucio]

Relevant:

 

[Paz]

It's a thirty second commercial. You'll see gameplay in less then a week.

I'm pointing out the reality is if they thought the gameplay would sell the game they should be more than ready to show it, but they think this nonsense has a better chance.

That's probably not a great sign.

 

[NullPointer]

 

[ViewtifulJC]

who buys this shit

 

[Shaanyboi]

So...edgy angry anti system guys + parkour + brig brother watching you + parties

No, not my thing to be honest.

Don't forget the horse head, brah! YEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!

Spoiler

Fuck that was bad...

 

[Doomshroom]

2/10

 

[keltickennedy]

Yeah, 30 second ad. I'm 99% sure this isn't going to be the trailer that is shown tomorrow

 

[bigosc2k]

Was fooled into buying the first one, will wait till it's in the $20 bin.

 

[Ivan 3414]

What exactly looks so bad about this trailer

It's CGI, maybe a bit live footage, IDK not sure cause of the quality

But how can you presume this game is crap based on a 30 second trailer with no gameplay

That's probably not a great sign.

What are you talking about?! It's an ad! Do you people sit around waiting to shit on everything UbiSoft. E3 is in a week. The full reveal is tomorrow but I'm sure no matter what they show it'll still get piled on

 

[SneakersSO]

Here I am, excited to see more of this thing, enjoying this ad and the direction this is seemingly heading in. Meanwhile, GAF has been hating long before this 30-sec spot was even shown.

I'm there day 1 Ubi.

 

[ezekial45]

Jesus, you guys are impossible.

This trailer was leaked

Who knows what it was even meant for

What are you even saying

 

[Rickelodeon]

this looks rad and way more interesting that the first one at first glance. ya got me attention Ubimans.

also i don't understand what the fuck is with all the "lol its so edgy!!!!" comments, like tf

 

[Alucrid]

so that's what san francisco is like

 

[Alienous]

Jesus, you guys are impossible.

How much of that tone do you think you could stand in a game?

 

[dark10x]

Looks ok to me. I'm curious to see where it goes at least.

 

[Vinterbird]

I agree with Ubisoft. I would guess that a CG trailer would sell the theme and game better then a thirty second gameplay thing.

What's the competition doing in terms of commercials? If I remember correctly, CoD doesn't show gameplay (I might be wrong) in their thirty second spots. Did GTA? I mainly saw outdoor ads for that, but they probably showed rendered stuff with ingame assets?

 

[mrqs]

So much hate here on Gaf, come on guys. Let's just wait for the gameplay, but for a trailer it just sets the tone.

JUST WAIT.

 

[GlamFM]

ITT People can´t tell the difference between a trailer and an ad.

 

[taizuke]

Think I rather play the first one.

 

[Ivan 3414]

How much of that tone do you think you could stand in a game?

How do you even know that's the game's entire tone

It's a goddamn thirty second CGI trailer

Edit: I'm going to leave this topic. I just don't understand people who think like this.

 

[Mr.Monitor]

looked and sounded like a taco bell commercial

not impressed

 

[DangerMouse]

This didn't really seem like a trailer, more like what they'll throw on as a 30 sec TV spot for the times when they don't get to play a longer commercial. Especially with the release date at the bottom and how it ended with the logo, if so I'm not as surprised by a lack of gameplay in it.

Hopefully they have a real trailer and gameplay for E3.

 

[spannicus]

Modern day Assassins creed i bet. Actually had fun with the first one. Gonna see what its all about.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

How much of that tone do you think you could stand in a game?

Anyone who thought the tone was going to be drastically different from the first game was wishfully thinking at best and delusional at worst.

All this thread is proving is that Watch Dogs 2 never stood a change with a great deal of posters on here.

 

[mortal]

Straight trash. It's trying so hard to "appeal"

 

[Styles]

So who were they trying to appeal to with that ad?

 

[kevin1025]

So who were they trying to appeal to with that ad?

 

[ezekial45]

How much of that tone do you think you could stand in a game?

I don't know, it's a 30 second ad. It's not a trailer. How many different commercials have you seen for games that have music or editing styles that are different from the actual game, or simply exaggerate it a bit.

Honestly, this is all an overreaction. Relax, we'll see more tomorrow and if you hate what you see, then go ahead and hate.

 

[spannicus]

So who were they trying to appeal to with that ad?

To the 40 something year old fathers who yearn for their glory days?

 

[Wishmaster92]

Music is horrible but i like the design of the character. I hope the game delivers on the graphics this time.

 

[Alienous]

ITT People can´t tell the difference between a trailer and an ad.

They both serve the same purpose so I'm not sure what your point is.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Terrible ad but you can't tell an awful lot from it. I enjoyed the first. I'm not attached to the series though so I can take it or leave it easily enough but will wait to see more. As it stands I don't care for it however.

 

[Teeth]

How much of that tone do you think you could stand in a game?

How much of the tone of Kasabian could you handle in Assassin's Creed?


This is an attention getter. It's not necessarily the tone of the game. Yes, there will be counter culture tries, Mr Robot knockoffs, and raves of the youth. But I doubt the characters will be thumping their chests much. I imagine it will be closer to Mr Robot with a bunch of misaligned kids with stutter talk trying to "change the system"...which, I can tolerate a lot of since I hang out on NeoGAF.

 

[GravityInsanity]

looked and sounded like a taco bell commercial

not impressed

 

[Sober]

Here's hoping at the very least the playable character isn't an edgelord angst manchild

 

[Hazaku]

I'm interested.

Can't wait to read the social media posts in game from the inevitable Aiden Pierce fanclub.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

I imagine it will be closer to Mr Robot with a bunch of misaligned kids with stutter talk trying to "change the system"...which, I can tolerate a lot of since I hang out on NeoGAF.

LMAO!

Though you're probably right about the initial part.

 

[everyday math]

ITT People can´t tell the difference between a trailer and an ad.

Well...they are both the same thing technically.

 

[z1ggy]

Here's hoping at the very least the playable character isn't an edgelord angst manchild

I'm pretty sure that will be the case.

 

[OnimaruXLR]

Remember when Watch Dogs was supposed to be about all this vigilante stuff and hacking, and then the actual game was mostly just week-old warmed over open world third person shooter tedium?

Now replace "vigilante" and "hacking" with "millenials" and "activism"

Then again maybe they'll manage an Assassin's Creed 2, and this will be the half decent first step that sadly leads to annualization and mounting tedium

 

[Fracas]

um don't hate on my sweet halogaf clips from 2012

 

[carlsojo]

ITT People can´t tell the difference between a trailer and an ad.

Okay fine, it's a terrible ad.

 

[Cyto]

You'd prefer a 420 blaze it illuminati confirmed hipster wannabe protagonist?

 

[Salty Rice]

Jesus that looks terrible.

 

[m4st4]

Imagine if Tyler Durden and his pet Project Mayhem monkeys suddenly decided to be an actual Durito/Mountain Dew powered brand. The very idea of underground fuck-the-society punksters looking like that and behaving like pop-rockstars is just bad. #EdgyApplication

/Stop signs on and off and on and off... cause I can

 

[mStudios]

I C O N I C

You're looking at a 30 second stinger, not the actual reveal.
