Trailers and CGI - i think Xillia did better than Dead Island. period.

Yo,

i think the title will offend many Dead Island fans, and i am not saying its a bad game - i only say the trailer is overhyped, and the game itself isnt as heartbreaking as the trailer.

So yeah, i can imagine that fans might get hyped by watching it (because it is a nice piece of work) like i did first time i saw FFXIII Trailers, but both didnt really deliver what people could expect out of it. imo.

 

and today, i stumbled upon a piece of video, that is - in my Opinion, quite brilliant, and drags me much more towards it, than other games did recently. (I think Skyrim's first trailer was as awesome as harry partride described it in his quite amusing video, too - but that shall not be the point here.)

but yeah, take a look:

this one right there focuses pretty much on the Male Maincharacter, or so people may think. (i did.)

the thing that makes that one so brilliant in my opinion, is that approx. 5 seconds of different Videomaterial gives the pretty much identical trailer a totally different taste to it, here the second one:

.. again, that Dead Island thing might be a matter of taste, and even if there were whole movies already ten years ago, you could watch rewind and get a sense out of it, its a nice piece of CGI, but i'd say more mindblowing  is Xillia's 'Attention-shift', that appears in those almost identical video's, without beeing really different.

 

thoughts?

 

 

(To be honest; the comparison to dead island was just made to grab your attention, even if i really think Xillia does a brilliant job in delivering goosebumbs. but yeah, just enjoy, for those who didnt see those pieces of video yet. cant wait to play it.. sometime..)
