Antro trailer - https://youtu.be/wjgHmfYvA6g?si=DgqE4EDU6643M7eo
00:00:20 - Running with rhythm, the promotional materials description, and what drill music is
00:03:35 - Don’t stop listening, catching El Salvador, and just a nice guy delivering for FedEx
00:06:47 - Translated rap tracks, atmospherically appropriate, and pushing buttons to the beat
00:10:53 - Needed a little more polish, getting gassed, platform puzzles, and closing the show
The Precinct trailer - https://youtu.be/FjZVlnMJhRI?si=SLvjRFV1XOweiTc5
00:14:28 - The origin of Cop Rock and other facts, Bob Iger is responsible, and reverse GTA
00:19:40 - Officer Norah, a memorable quote, gaining experience, and many negative spaces
00:22:06 - The daily gameplay loop, helicopter segments, and calling in backup officer support
00:25:39 - A decent variety of crimes to stop, the gangs of Averno, and advancing the narrative
00:28:03 - Informants hung out to dry, random safes in the city, street racing, and a bland story
00:30:06 - What a sandbox is/isn’t, non-linear progression, and overlap with open world games
00:35:57 - An arcade-like experience, Frank Bullitt, licensed 80s music, and if you like cops…
Revenge of the Savage Planet trailers - https://youtu.be/P2YZ1jvDrjI?si=4fyzX_WkSgwn2JqG and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOmRqeMtY4A
00:38:35 - Not talking about our own planet, a sequel, and the promotional material description
00:41:39 - Norah has many questions, the cartoon comedy, and a pile of bodies in the desert
00:45:16 - Throwing lava, orange goo, perpetual trailer deaths, and anti-consumerism adverts
00:49:27 - Entertained to death, a Google game development incident, and trouble with Stadia
00:52:46 - Enjoyable platform-style exploration, experiment bait, and using hoses and lassos
00:54:14 - The trailer told Norah nothing about the game, another trailer, and other mechanics
00:56:32 - Trailer composition preferences, minimalist base decoration, and Ben’s final verdict
