Iron Man Story Trailer Lowers Expectations

I dont understand...I liked this trailer, why shouldnt I again?

YOU SHOULDNT BE OUT THERE RISKING YOUR LIFE!

Iron Man more like Huge Head

Man, Faylor is slamming these trailers, but I like it. I for one really appreciate his journalistic integrity and the fact that he speaks his mind and isn't afraid to stick it to the developers. I think we should expect a lot from these people to provide us with a quality gaming experience and not to fall into the Hollywood mentality of "If we make it (and spend ass loads of $$ on it) they will come". But look at what happened to Hollywood, what has impacted box office sales recently? That's right, video games, because games are quality, interactive media. That being said, this trailer is clearly trying to capitalize on Hollywood movie trailers when video game dialog doesn't really lend itself to sound bites. Furthermore, the Hollywood movie trailer omits substance for sensationalism and this trailer seems to follow suit. So, I see Faylor's point that this trailer lowers expectations for the game. Typical AAA video game trailers do not use this format. However, as Faylor mentions, the underlying game play shown in the trailer still looks good. He was disappointed by the "Hollywood-izing" of this game trailer. Substance over sensationalism is the hallmark of a good game. A good game needs graphics and effects but that doesn't make it a good game. Faylor was disappointed by the apparent lack of substance, as displayed in the cheesy one liners and Hollywood editing..."Can I be more than a Man...Can I be Iron Man...." or "You shouldn't be here....You shouldn't be risking your life!" for example. Overall, my interest in the game has been increased by this trailer, if I dismiss the way the information has been presented. However, unlike Hollywood trailers, I use more data to decide if the game is worth my time than just watching a trailer. If this was a trailer for a movie, I would pass. As it is, I will actually wait for someone (maybe Faylor) to play the game and then write a review. Since Faylor expressed his disappointment openly, and isn't part of the industry hype machine, I, for one, will be more inclined to believe him if he actually recommends the game.

I know this is gonna be great cause it's being developed by A2M. When has A2M ever been bad?

Maybe because I don't know what to expect anyways, my expectations certainly aren't lowered. This IS a comicbook-movie-game, anything short of failure is a success when these genres collide.

One of my favorite Shack headlines ever.

That wasn't a disappointing trailer.

THIS is a disappointing trailer: http://www.shacknews.com/featuredarticle.x?id=662#chrome

I dunno why you guys covered it in the first place. It's a movie tie in game, those shouldn't get coverage at all most of the time. Other places can't shut the fuck up about them, but shacknews can go off into left field and cover some obscure little Eastern European RTS that has a lot more potential then this. :(

The problem with lip sync is that a lot of places use stuff like facefx. For time and for localization as well. But without a lot of tweaking it can be pretty bad.

for game standards the dialogue was not bad

With lip syncing aside, I thought the dialogue was fine and perfectly fit the comic book nature. Faylor definitely failed with the headline. I don't even care about IronMan but that trailer kinda psyched me up. If you are going to cut a game down, be sure that its completely and utterly terrible in the eyes of even the most dedicated fans.
