Such an amazing announcement, when I saw that DataDyne logo on the rooftop, excitement was on the rise...

You'd think they would have learned to not do another outsourced CG trailer that gives no indication whatsoever what the game world will look or feel like.

i know you prolly weren't born in turn of the millenium, but people who did had the previlege of enjoying Perfect Dark, preeeeeety pretty much know what to expect. A shot at one of the most unique and best fps ever made. As per said in the below Interview by that Bloke Dan,

He's right, though. What's the point of a shit CGI trailer? Hype, hype and more hype? So, I take it the game is what, 5 years out, at least? They have fuck all working as a prototype, no screenshots, but this trailer gets people wet? In an age of social media, you could literally get the same reaction, if not an even better one, by leaving a tweet stating that PD sequel is in the works, and leave some game design details about it. That right there would convey more of what to expect than this shit. I'm literally sick of the disingenuous bollocks going on here from these developers. It's as if they themselves aren't confident or even sure of their own product and need a flashy expensive CG trailer to convince people. Back in the day of the original, all we needed was one or two actual screen shots and a paragraph detailing the ambitions of the game. Hype achieved. Simple. Effective. No bullshit. No lies.
