I get it, this is preproduction stuff. But, wow. From the scene selection, to the fake excitement over the weapons and modes, to the in-game voiceover this has B production written all over it.

I know we've all been spoiled by PC graphics and AAA cinematics and production values, so maybe I'm expecting too much. I went back and watched the teaser from the spring. I know, I know, we're looking at handheld console-level graphics, but that teaser is leaning on a lot of jump cuts and cinematic license to try and mask what sounds like George Lucas level dialog and Sega era effects.

I really enjoyed (at least the beginning of) the original Asgard's Wrath and thought it'd be cool to have a stand alone version, but its going to have to be a lot better that...whatever that was. And a shit-ton better if it's coming out at a $60 price point.
