It's a gameplay footage trailer from an indie dev. It's not like a cgi trailer for Killzone or something where they made up a scripted scene with mock up graphics and tried to pass it off as gameplay.

I want to see him play it live. With no edits. Anyway, the reviews will tell us how it controls.

Is using a Knight as a main character a recent trend?

Its a WiiU exclusive...

Not backing it with flexible funding. Flexible funding is pretty much evil

The guy seems to have been working on this for a while, so the name is kind of unfortunate because it seems like he's cashing in on the success of stuff like Shovel Knight.

As for flexible funding, it;s not necessarily evil, but I know shady sh*t has happened because of it. I can see why someone who's not a total scumbag would want it as well though.
