Let's talk about the Trailer!

[Cez]

Thoughts? Guesses? Analysis? Predictions? Who's everyone?

Very Impressive, i do see you guys got the Face Animation right, because in the Old Trailer on Youtube, Queen Valanice and Prince Alexander Both Scream while it looks like they are Laughing hysterically  

I have No Criticism or Complaints, the Trailer is AWSOME.  

[crayauchtin]

The main thing I noticed is that Alexander's eyes were kinda creepy.

[Haids1987]

Incredible work, guys!  I love it!

[TheReturnofDMD]

The main thing I noticed is that Alexander's eyes were kinda creepy.

Yeah, and I still don't like his spikey Anime hair cut.

[crayauchtin]

My hair's like that naturally -- don't make fun!

[Haids1987]

Maybe it goes with the name, Graham. 

[kindofdoon]

I agree, the player models looked a bit funny, but who cares? A solid game delivers not in beauty but in thrill, adventure and fun.

Also, I liked the rehashing of the menu theme for the trailer. I've probably watched it about 10 times by now.

Anyone else notice the "Dramatic Chipmunk" shot of Valanice at :50 into the trailer?

[Haids1987]

I just scoured YouTube for the old trailer for the game, and I watched it three times.  Then I watched the new trailer twice, and I'm sitting here with puffy red eyes and shaking hands from crying so much with happiness.  I know I've said this, like, a billion times already, but I am so incredibly proud and excited for what's going on here!  The trailer--both of them, really--is AMAZING, and I'm so thrilled to see all of this happening for real.

I noticed in the new trailer that Graham is falling down several deep abysses.  I know that the royal family of Daventry isn't known for their gracefulness (Alexander's dramatic entrance into Daventry when he rolls down the hill, Rosella's constant trips and falls in KQ IV, Alexander's "Ow! Hey!" moments while climbing the cliffs of logic), but those particular black holes seemed a little more dramatic to me.  Hmmmm.

Also, the three fates appear to be watching near the very beginning.  You only see them for a minute before it zooms back out, but there is definitely a set of weird old biddies watching.  Can't wait to see what a 3-D Etheria looks like, it was always my favorite KQ location!

Perhaps Cassima didn't like Alexander's haircut?

[waltzdancing]

I happen to like Alex's hair style. It has a modern flair to it that is refreshing.

[tessspoon]

I don't mind it either. So used to it now I can't imagine him any other way.

[crayauchtin]

Maybe it goes with the name, Graham. 

Except that we're talking about Alexander's hair... otherwise, that'd be an excellent theory!

[Haids1987]

Maybe it goes with the name, Graham. 

Except that we're talking about Alexander's hair... otherwise, that'd be an excellent theory!

Well, Alex is Graham's son.  It happens.  *Shrug*

[kindofdoon]

I find myself watching the trailer about once every hour...

[liggy002]

Shadarack is the most interesting character to me at the moment since we know almost nothing about him other than the fact that he is a really powerful dark wizard.  I always get upset when I see a movie in which the good guys or single protagonist kicks the crap out of the bad guy/s.  I want it to be an epic struggle when the characters battle!

[kindofdoon]

Agreed. Shadrack is great material for TSL. He's evil, shadowy, powerful, and extremely mysterious. The idea that he unites all of the King's Quest games is so poetic and perfect; I just can't wait to see how TSL explores him.

Think of the possibilities...!

Figure 1. Shadrack.

[I_am_so_nifty]

Well, we do know that he played chess with Mordack... not that it helps at all, but hey, it's something.

[kindofdoon]

Right...Sort of reminds me of the relationship between Magneto and Professor Xavier in X-Men.

[crayauchtin]

Except in this case they're both evil.
