This is just to tease us and build a little hype -- but it does give us a bit of information about the game, which I mentioned in my post.

Seems influenced by many of the movies we've seen made from graphic novels lately. The problem with trailers like this is that they do a good job at getting you excited about the game but you're left wondering if it's a true representation of the gameplay. I would think that it isn't a true representation of gameplay because the visual style of the trailer would simply make gameplay difficult and potentially really annoying. If that turns out to be true... well, there's nothing I dislike more than marketers MISrepresenting their game with some fancy trailer. I'll never forget watching the Warhammer trailer and then playing the game. Not that I thought playing Warhammer would be like the trailer but good lord - could it have been farther from the reality of the gameplay! It's just as if part of the game relies on you IMAGINING a more intense and beautiful world around you in game and I just think that's weak sauce! Very stylized.
