Wow. So, forget the fact that the trailer shows that they've improved the skating, faces, and you can actually do moves out of stumbles like that. You're complaining about relevance of a scene that highlights a moment in the career of the cover athlete? What would you have rather seen man?

Well at least we got a vid...

See you guys in a month or so when trailer 2 comes out.

Ovechkin looks like Kurt Suzuki in that vid.

2K went away from cutscenes a long time ago. That's in game footage. How is it "obviously" not?

The clip looks like something that would come from the game intro. If the clip is truly representative of the gameplay, I think the game is way too arcade --- shots from your back, passive defense, etc.

Again, not much to say based on the short clip. I look forward to more detailed videos showing someone actually playing the game.

Its pretty simple really. In comparison to EA, which I personally know 100 times more about due to their phenomenal marketing, 2k has proceeded to release a video that shows something that they claim rarely happens...

so basically a video which represents a small fraction of the experience. I want some substance at this point. Currently 2k is so far behind in the PR department that the effort that they ARE going to expend should be spent on something that actually shows us something of relevance...not a replication of a goal that happened almost 3 years ago that will likely never happen again and probably shouldn't be attainable in a video game...

I like the idea of the new graphics.
I like the new skating.
I like the return to the sim roots.
I like the stumble shots.

At this point, however, if they are going to be making videos they need to be informative and relevant. This one minute vid showed me almost nothing.

I will say that the trailer was disappointing, but C'mon Flyers. Even when they give us actual gameplay footage, you know as well as I do, it will be played by some nobody on default settings. Ea's gameplay footage looked awful IMO, due to the fact that really we really can't count on what we're lookin for from these gamesite videos. I think the only way to truely tell just how good or bad each game will be is from hands on(not the demos either), though those will be better than these gamesite videos.

WOW, the Arena looked real and the skating look to be smooth too. Plus that is A.O. he can get around any D guy! Plus it was the P.C. they are not a great D team. So I liked what I saw. Looks like the Arenas are going to have more life this year too.
