Information Dead State Teaser Video Revealed

Tags: Dead State; DoubleBear Productions

In this week's update, the DoubleBear team has put up an official teaser video - I was about to say "teaser trailer," but apparently it isn't a trailer yet (?), just a small vid to give you a taste of things to come:

​

Feel free to leave your feedback here or on the official forum.

I was just going to post this. :D

SO looking forward to this. Probably getting ready for the KS thing. <3

 

[Untermensch]

What's the point of these videos that show no gameplay?

Still, really excited about this.

 

[Stabwound]

I'm looking forward to this game, but that video was extremely pointless.

Because it's kind of a big deal for what has been hailed as the new, trendy vapourware, to say "look! WE HAVE A WORKING ENGINE!".

 

[RedScum]

Pretty useless video, still want it like a madman.

 

[EG]

Needs more scanlines so that it does not appear simply striped. And why are the numbers above that lovely, lovely filter?

. . . I still desire this game, though.

WTF? This is not a ‘teaser’ video, more like a ‘run, run away as fast as you can’ video. Amateurish, derivative, and a couple of seconds of supposedly gameplay. WOW, I hope they will not use it for Kickstarter. And if you check in their own forum, they are all like “oh yeah, great video, good job…” Just bad…

 

[Zed]

Would service announcements be written in Courier?

EG I think it's supposed to be a TV set and those numbers are the channels.

 

[Azalin]

Not a bad video but I don't think this is enough to convince me they are out of the vapourware stage and give my money to a kickstarter

EG I think it's supposed to be a TV set and those numbers are the channels.

Then they'd be governed by the same pattern as the screen, not in the foreground. A better argument is they were trying to make it look like a VHS recording, played on a flat panel, but I very much doubt it. That is to say, I'm being anal for the sake of being anal, rather than focus on the video's contents.

This gives me Tortured Hearts vibes.

 

[Mozgoëbstvo]

Golly gee whiz, kids, hold on to yer muthaflippin' stockings. He clearly said there's more to come, it's quite obvious they'll post something more meaty for Kickstarter.
Keep calm and stop trolling.

 

[InspectorRumpole]

What's the point in releasing this crap. It sucks and looks amateurish.

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

Not sure how this video is supposed to make me any more interested than I was before.

 

[Elhoim]

The full trailer will be done by Felipepepe, who did the AoD trailer.

 

[General Maxson]

Yeah, this does look amateurish, hope they make a good kickstarter presentation, as I'm always interested in turn based crpg games with contemporary or futuristic setting (read firearms)...

 

[Mozgoëbstvo]

The full trailer will be done by Felipepepe, who did the AoD trailer.

But he needs at least a demo to do so, alas.

 

[Infinitron]

felipepepe: At this rate, you'll soon have a second career as a professional indie game trailer creator!

This. Trailer looked like shit though.

I wound't mind, it's way more fun than doing corporate videos & ads, besides it pays loads of money brofists.

 

[Executer]

Felt more like trolling than teasing. Looking forward to the trailer though.

 

[FeelTheRads]

Pretty much like a Bethesda "teaser for trailer". Except this one has crappy fonts.

 

[Humanity has risen!]

The environment looks very artificial, empty and odd to me.

 

[Aldebaran]

Technically, this is exactly what a teaser trailer is supposed to be. Show next to nothing, but spread the word about the subject. At least, that is historically what a teaser trailer is in the movie business. Now the term usually just means the trailer that ruins most of the movie before the trailer that ruins the whole movie.

Whether or not this is a well made teaser trailer is another question. Personally, I am not a big fan of it. It definitely looks like it was slapped together very quickly.

 

[Mozgoëbstvo]

It just doesn't seem like they are progressing all that much for the time it's been. I'd really want to see at least some kind of gameplay by now. They have the basic assets so there's no reason not to unless it's just not working, as seems to be the case.

I think you can start worrying only if the next two-three video updates don't show more.
