Not sure I needed to see that level of violence in what is tantamount to an advert.

Oooh, so gritty. No thanks.

I haven't watched the video yet, but I remember articles about an early showing of the first game at one of the big shows (E3, perhaps?), with gruesome violence and people in the audience hollering and applauding. Perhaps they're leaning into that. IMO the final game used violence responsibly, for want of a better word. I trust Naughty Dog based on their output to date, but if the video is as bad as you guys suggest, it would definitely shake that trust somewhat.

Looks like they were aiming for "visceral experience", but didn't have anything meaningful to end the trailer with. For me it's brutal and a cheap trick at the same time. I'm sure high-school boys and girls will be super excited for that.

Yeah, a lot of it seems unnecessary, and the story told in the trailer is tropey as all get-out.

The first game was excellent, there's no reason to think that this one will be any different, controversial trailer aside. I think everyone's getting all worked up over nothing.
Now give me a release date!

I don't think anyone's getting all worked up, unless criticism counts as getting all worked up in your world.

I was referring to the multiple articles on the web that are criticizing the violence in the trailer in general, but also specifically against woman. So much that Sony felt the need to (

@Judith - Did you play the first game? If so, I don't know you can be so quick to dismiss this one based on a trailer.
