That was a whole lot of nothing. Very bland.
There was no real aesthetically interesting location, set piece, sequence, or design that stood out as signature? I think that's what got me. It was kind of like a montage of generic kinda cool but also very familiar Star Wars stuff strung together in basic form, without that big moment or jaw dropping set piece that rounds out the vision and gives it an identity to remember. It was just a bunch of...Star Wars stuff, that I think could be plenty interesting but for the time being okay whatever?
Also it looked weird? Or is that just me? Like overly clean or something, a weird mix of realistic art direction but sterile in tone and texture, almost cartoonish? Like a weird mix of realistic with a dash of Clone Wars? That looks in-engine Unreal Engine 4 though.
I don't know. Also, as everyone else has echoed, no gameplay is a bummer. It's obviously what everyone wants to see. I understand the cinematic story trailer taking centre stage, but it'd have been nice to see how it actually plays.

Wow I thought the trailer was good. We've seen next to nothing about the character and there are so many people hand waving this game off as generic.
Again, doesn't this describe most action games? Have some of you guys only played Souls games?
Trailer was fantastic, only thing I worry about is EA as publisher. I have a sneaking suspicion this game is being rushed and not being given enough time in the oven.
I hope I'm wrong but knowing ea and Disney this game was being pushed to come out before the movie in December.
When did they start making this game, everything starting with the weird announcement last year makes it seem like it was fast tracked out of nowhere. These are talented guys and gals working on this game, worst thing to happen would be they don't get to have enough time to make a great game and bring it to it's full potential

What do you guys think of the art direction? Not really impressed with it. Gives me slight vibes of old CG trailers where the environments had a flat lighting to them.
Should have read just this page before posting. Yeah I agree. It has that really sterile look of early CG trailers. I'm thinking it has to be all from the in-game engine because there is nothing really going on that seems like it would have to be made outside the engine.

My reaction is just like the one from Easy Allies. Hopeful for the game itself, but this was really bland. Lots of buzz words and a lot of talking, but no game shown. Really bad presentation. Really hard to get an idea of the game without gameplay, just people talking what's in it. Hopeful for gameplay at E3, but right now not hyped at all.
His Joker (and band) is wack but I actually like Jared Leto quite a bit as an actor.
I read all that. It's fluff text and doesn't accurately describe what the game play will be in reality. They could've used that description for The Force Unleashed and it'd be the same outcome.
I'm as disappointed as anyone but obviously they work for audiences that aren't enthusiast forums
Ha! I was literally going to mention old CGI trailers where lighting is sterile and background asset detail is minimal. Same page.
Watching the trailer again I'm still amazed about the lack of epic landscapes/planets. Take the "padawan" out of the shown story and it could be any adventure game. I fell like there is too less Star Wars feeling in this Star Wars game. Sure, there are references thrown there somehow randomly but the Star Wars atmosphere seems to miss almost completely. Maybe the art gives me this vibe.
It would have been cool if they went the 1313 route. Being a bounty hunter instead of the tired and true Jedi would have been a good change of pace. The 1313 reveal just really stuck out to me. This one, not so much. Even the Easy Allies were a little down on it despite still really looking forward to it. Hopefully they show something amazing at E3.
I thought the trailer was pretty bad, but the Xbox store description sounds interesting. I need to see gameplay.
Still having trouble ordering through gamestop. I want the exclusive figure (yeah, I collect them), curious if anyone else is having problems? It keeps telling me my billing info doesn't match my address. I tried 3 different CC and paypal... none will work. 😢
Anyone been able to place an order?

This being a prequel's already has me down on it. I'm just tired of star wars stories set in that period.
Yeah with EA's backing and the almighty Frostbite engine I'm a bit shocked it looks so unimpressive I guess they didn't let Respawn in on that
Cinematic trailers are awesome and anything but worthless. There just also needs to be gameplay trailers for the super hardcore.
I like how it's only the "super hardcore" who want to see gameplay in video game trailers now
Only when they're really well done. Like DICE does. Where they can make you believe there's actually a story in a game there is practically almost none.
But this was not one of those awesome cinematic trailers. It's an average bland one.
My response was more to the assumption that all CG trailers are worthless and only gameplay matters. That is so hilariously wrong as to be....hilarious :).
I was more speaking in general. I liked the mood setting in this one for the first half, but the latter half was meh, agreed.
What makes you say that? Is there a hint toward Old Republic stuff in the trailer that I missed?
Not sure what the point of a trailer like that is. We already knew there would be Star Wars stuff, so that didn't tell us anything. They should show what the game is like in a trailer for a game. Super lame. If I had to guess then I'd guess that the game will be good, but as of now there is no way to tell. Stupid idea whoever came up with it to reveal the game in this way.
Ah gotcha. I really hope they start diving into that stuff now and don't make us wait until the D&D trilogy. I need some Old Republic nowwwww
But even still KOTOR took places thousands of years before all of this didn't it?
Knowing that they have a previous GoW director on the team, that combat part sounds really good, sounds like it has a lot more dept than Force Unleashed.
And the part about choosing where to go next sounds awesome, hoping this is more of a 12-15 hour experience than a 6-8 hour one.
You don't have to be a forum enthusiast to expect that a game trailer have some of gameplay or at least show us a glance how the game will be.
I felt that i was seeing a generic cliché Star War CG movie trailer.
A ton of people like those trailers and they're effective. Everything doesn't need to be for Butman.
As a CGI trailer, really average.
If an indication of the in-game art direction, I'll allow it.
Go watch a movie if all you want is cinematics. Excuse us for being "hardcore" for wanting gameplay out of a game.
This trailer and all the information around it has me super hyped. Granted, I'm stupid hyped for everything Star Wars after the Episode IX trailer, but MAN, this could be really good. I haven't been genuinely hyped like this for a game or movie for some time.
Bring it home, Respawn!!!
Bring it home, Respawn!!!
Cinematic trailers being the first and only thing shown for a new video game need to die a quick, immediate death.
I prefer almost entirely gameplay, but if not, then I am okay if a company decides to do a half and half trailer. Half cinematic, half gameplay.
If you have to do a cinematic only trailer, then do a gameplay only trailer. Balance that shit out.

You're allowed to prefer gameplay trailers, but just because other people like other things doesn't make it wrong. Don't be so closeminded, dark494.
Agreed. For a game due for release in 7 months some gameplay footage would be expected. Will decide on my interest in this game only then.
