I want to know if and why something is bad or not fun so I can fix it. You're not the first to say that about the trailer as well but there's a bit of a story behind the production of it and the limited time/resources we had so I'm just happy we got something out in time to be honest.
Was there anything specific that put you off? I won't be making future trailers for this now, T17 are taking over that but good to know for myself anyway.
Man, I feel like a jerk! haha.
Anyway, since you asked I rewatched the same trailer. I think now that I've seen gameplay and understand what the game is about, the trailer is better than my original watch. I just think a lot of the humor assumes knowledge of the game and someone that knows literally zero about the game can't appreciate it. I can't think of an example, but I'd imagine a trailer for Portal 1 where all it does is make in-jokes about the cake being a lie and lines from the ending song. It's funny to the people in the know.
I'm being a little unfair as your trailer DOES portray all the basics and presents a lot of information about the game, but I felt a little lost and that the gameplay looked pretty frantic. (which honestly looks like it captures the game feel in hindsight). I did enjoy the segment that ended with "Ghosts?? what?" and found that very funny on the first view. The humor was good. I just felt a little lost through the trailer I guess.
I'm glad you're not taking it personally. These weren't nitpicks that would keep me from playing the game. I'm just offering because you asked.
