I dont understand the latest slew of live trailers to advertise games. But it was okay I guess, a good movie, but does it compell me any harder to go and purchase the game? No -_-.

Much luck to it though, wasn't a fan of the first one due to buggy game mechanics on 360 at launch.

Well it is not made only for you =p.  Live trailers work otherwise Microsoft would not spend so much for the Halo ones.  I enjoyed this trailer and I enjoyed the first game even on X360.  With some tweaks and little changes it would have been a great game.  I am keeping an eye on this one :).

Yeah but the whole purpose of the trailer is to attract buyers who are on the fence about the game - I am. Although slightly better than gameplay trailers, they are not very effective selling weapons I don't think.

I think it could be a great game, if they iron out quite alot of the bugs out of the gate, and I think I'll be picking up 2033 now they've probably patched it up a bit, I found it annoying as hell - poor hit detection, clunky mechanics etc at the time.

it's more about raising awareness than selling the actual game this far out, a good trailer CGI/Liveaction trailer can go a little viral and reach people that would otherwise never hear about the game.
