Yes, it did.

Well, despite the unfortunate side effect of frothing at the mouth at all of the shinies blitzing across my screen, I like it.

Orbital bombardment

Orbital bombardment is the act of attacking targets on a planet, moon or other such object from orbit around the object, rather than from an aircraft, or a platform beyond orbit. It is most often encountered in fiction, but has been proposed as a means of attack for several real-world weapons systems concepts, including kinetic bombardment and as a nuclear delivery system.

Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...

That blaster was so going to faceplant in the trailer, but they ended it. Tutorial zone looks vastly more difficult than what we currently have.

What exactly are you looking forward to? They hit all the big stuff.

Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

Well, considering that the idiot playing him was playing him like a tanker....

Seriously, blasters should not grab that much aggro.

I thought they were dumbing down the game?

Amy means difficulty in mobs, not figuring out what's going on. What a way to build a strawman.

I think my framerate is going to choke on that map. We'll see.

This Issue already seems massive. All of those proliferated powers. New power sets, one made from existing powers and 3 completely new sets. A new huuuuge zone. A new Giant Monster to fight. A new Incarnate Trial. A new tutorial. Two zones revamped. New costume sets. New music. New UI. So many more new things that I can't even remember them all! Aaaaaarrrrrghh! WHY CAN'T I PLAY THIS NOW?!

Playstation 3 - XBox 360 - Wii - PSP

Remember kids, crack is whack!

I think they've got the 'can not die' flag on characters in the tutorial, just like they have in the Praetorian tutorial. Your HP drops to zero but you keep going.

I am more interested in the tutorial, I finally get t see the entire Phalanx out and about actually doing something.

On a side note: Why does Praetorian BaB look black while the Primal BaB looks like a Jose Canseco clone?! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jose_Canseco
Marauder has more ambient light in his shots and in generally in a shinier locale?

They could be one of the other Carnival factions. At the Comic Con panel (there's a video link someone posted in the Reveals thread), they mentioned that there are two other Carnival splinter factions in addition to the CoL: The Carnivals of War and Vengeance.

Yes, that's why I couldn't tell which it was. But a gameplay scene where you fight a giant monster as it crawls out of the ground is different from a cutscene where one crawls out of the ground and then you switch to fighting mode where it stands there and plays generic attack animations like everything else.

It gives me a strong indication that there isn't going to be a "summon self" power in the set like a lot of people are hoping. If that were in there, it's the exact kind of thing you put into a trailer to get that "wow" effect.
