It amazes me that they put together a trailer that looks substantially worse than the actual game. They could have at least shown a ship making a jump to another system because it looks incredible especially how you exit hyperspace. Their E3 trailer 6 months ago was fantastic. http://youtu.be/ISR4ebdGlOk

Even fan trailers look better, and theirs are all in-game footage. http://youtu.be/5jTRbmUzc8o

“brings the hype”
What? That was very underwhelming.
No gameplay footage, looked like a combat action game. 2/10

In reply to Psionicinversion. What? A game isn't exactly as represented in a cinematic trailer?! Oh the horror. Someone phone the trailer police!

The hangars – Check
The Ships – Check
The Weapons – Check
The Station – Check
Mining – Check
Scooping cargo – Check
Bounty hunting – Check
Supercruise – Check

I could go on…

There are only two things that isn’t accurate about this video (besides it obviously is offline rendered CGI).

1. The pilots walking around – This isn’t in the game…yet.

2. Increased pace of the gameplay with some artistic license to how the ships fly so they can fit it into an exciting 2 minute trailer (just like any other gametrailer out there does). All the activities shown there can indeed be done in the game, but just at a slower pace.
