The Internet seems to like it. What do you think about it?

I was just looking for stimuli outside of random Youtube comments. The Internet and me are pretty tight, honestly.

While it's just a small tidbit of what's hopefully going to make the it into the final cut, the strength of the message in the game is very powerful, giving a personal weight and gravity to the pixels moving around as they shift back into their places, showing a great skill and confidence in the blocking and positioning of the characters.

Quintin Tarantino uses this prose of film making, such as reversing the sequential order of events to show the impact of what lead up to them. The last frame of the reversed shots are of the father reaching for his daughter, is if to say that's the most pivotal point of a hopeless situation.

That, and I can't wait to peel me some zombies like an onion in a game that hopefully lives up to its dire, and demanding precision needed to give the final blow to the infected that can reflect the skill of the player(s).

This is what I told the Internet I feel about it:

"It's well edited and well done, but I have a feeling it has nothing to do with the game. Apparently it's an FPS. Unless it's legitimately a first person survival adventure game I don't really see how this feeling can translate to the gameplay."

And later it came out that the trailer is a "concept trailer" that was done entirely by a marketing company and has little to do with the game outside of taking place on the same island. Hopefully all of the positive feedback from this trailer can lead to something resembling this within the game itself.

I know very little about this game, but I am under the impression it'll be a bit like Far Cry with zombies. It might be alright, but... you know... this.

I CANNOT BELIEVE the amount of buzz that trailer has generated. Speaking as someone who watched the whole of Lost, I didn't think it was special at all - just another teaser trailer that says nothing about the game.
