oh dear god man,.. this is an RPG and story is a massive part of the genre.  this is the first and only story trailer.  this game was announced with a live gameplay demo.  it was followed up with an extended gameplay trailer.  to date we've only have gameplay trailers and no story.  a trailer focused on the story is long overdue and necessary for those of us that enjoy the story elements of a game.  please just stop derailing this thread about horizon with your rant about the state of the industry.

 

OT - trailer was amazing.  love seening mounts are confirmed by this trailer.

People keep quoting me and challenging me to explain myself. I don't want to derail the thread any further, but how do you expect me to react?

I think a lot of people (at least me) just got confused about why you kept ignoring the comments about that we indeed did get a gameplay trailer simultaneously with its reveal and that this is a story trailer (many people prefer a good story in RPGs).

You're a fan of The Legend of Zelda and understandably you're hyped for Zelda U/NX but why didn't you criticize Zelda's reveal trailer for being purely CGI? At least this Horizon story trailer is in game.

 

I agree with you that it's weird that publisher's expect us to preorder a game on no other basis than a CGI trailer (e.g. Battlefield 1) but to each his own. Hopefully, those people will hesitate preordering again if they've been disappointed with a preordered game and if they've felt betrayed by the marketing.

Personally, I just save the preorder until when/if I'm sold on a game. That's why I've only preordered 4 games in my life as new games cost more than $75 here in Denmark and I don't wanna get burned.
