So you're telling me you're actually going to need to get creative? Ah, man.

Stop being afraid of the word 'mech', maybe that'll help

This is beyond depressing. Really shows just how bad the industry is getting when marketing something that's not CoD or a clone is hard.

[Agoat]

I don't think you guys realize that it's a challenge to market to non-gamers. The game will sell itself to people who play games, the trick is getting everyone else to buy it.

It's super easy to sell this game. Just show mechs and wall running and script those together and make it look cool. If you don't want to actually work at something just make a cinematic trailer

Just market it to chicks, I hear they really dig giant robots.

Do they remember the BF2 Trailer/Intro?

This had me so hyped for BF2! (i wasn't able to play it for another year because I had a terrible PC)

I think it's one of the reasons I'm excited for Titan Fall. They are showing gameplay trailers! (albeit a bit contrived) I hope they keep this up, and wont worry about ~cinematic~ flare.

To be fair the Angel City gameplay trailer was really good

[Acti]

I really hope that the system that the game will use, like the 12 cap player and the AI, is for the best. But I have a shit ton of doubts. Fingers crossed.

Good old BF2 ragdolls...

[Maxjes]

Go talk to your label-mates at DICE, it's not hard to do an all Gameplay trailer.

Or alternatively Just go. "By the team who brought you Modern Warfare 2, now with fucking awesome robots." It's not hard.

[The Vman]

Then make a CG trailer ya dummies

wtf's wrong with media tags

I really like their marketing so far. Especially how their gameplay trailer have actual gameplay unlike other gameplay trailers [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gbdv1GzxAto]*cough* *cough*[/url]
But what really won me over was that they actually let me play the game already at Gamescom. That's where I decided to get this day 1.
