Yes indeedie! As most regulars know I play a lot of Elite Dangerous and I love the game, buuuuuttttt they made some very shiny, snappy trailers that had absolutely nothing to do with how the game played. In fact they were quite misleading (for quite read very...). It annoyed as they really didn't need to do it.

I honestly don't think LT has the budget to make a slick cinematic trailer that doesn't show actual gameplay. Sure, there could be some post-processing and some slick video editing, but it would all be actual gameplay footage. Yes, the trailer could stage what will happen to ensure the trailer is interesting, but that still means what you see in the trailer is entirely possible to encounter in the game.

With assets provided by Josh I'm sure a good animator in the community could whip up some visuals. :P

In my fantasy world, LT would have a trailer rivaling the epicness of EVE's expansion trailers. They are pretty cool.

How about the trailer of LT from PAX in January?
I've lost the link now, can someone possibly re-post please?

With the right music, this could be a good intro to LT :)

I would disagree. :D That shows only a tiny slice of everything Limit Theory has to offer - just the combat! And not even real combat at that - and not even fleet combat. It's just a bunch of ships shooting at each other. :D
