Official Path of Exile Release Trailer

Trailer was, you know, okay I guess. But ergh, that last screen. Leaving us on a shot of a woman with flowing blonde hair and almost-nonexistent armour that of course includes a very open front. It reminds me of - no, not strong enough: it's more or less identical to what I see on ads for every single other free-to-play fantasy game from Facebook and browser games through iOS and up, and it's honestly the first time that I've ever mentally categorised Path of Exile with the rest of that incredibly tacky F2P world, even for a moment.

Hey, maybe the marketing works, I don't know. And I'm really looking forward to 1.0, and think the game and the team deserves a tonne of praise for what they've created so far. Nevertheless, I still felt the need to sign in for the first time in months just to say you made me want to throw up a bit.


This is basically exactly what I thought. It does come across as rather cliche and not all that dark; she looks a bit like a Final Fantasy character in the poster, which isn't what I'm used to comparing PoE to. Hopefully she won't seem so cliche in game; she could be awesome in fact, but the marketing doesn't make it seem so.

Also, the trailer makes it seem like she's the main character. I was under the impression there isn't one as PoE is centered on the idea of "the exile," which could be anyone. I think the portrayal of the game here could possibly confuse new players as to what they're going to get.

I'm still looking forward to the game's release as well though, but I am a bit disappointed at this.

I haven't played the game for a while now, but as others have mentioned, this trailer is more of a new class release trailer, nothing more. It doesn't showcase the game and its content like the open beta trailer does.

I think GGG could have worked from the open beta trailer, creating something similar providing different footage and additional information based on the newer version of the game being released.

you're soooo sad :(

you should buy an OB supporter pack! I hear they have a bunch of really good stuff that Gold CB packs didn't have! You'd love it :)
I'm super high and all right now but HOLY SH**T that was a BADASS trailer!!

I am a poor freezingly cold soul
So far from where
I intended to go
My opinion will be not satisfying as others, since i have to say, that trailer was like this is "some game" and not "The game" that it actually is...
OK, GGG. I like the trailer, but I like the game. If I were an outsider looking in, as others have said, the trailer needs work. If you can, put something together from the Open Beta Trailer and the game play footage from the GameSpot video interview you just did. Your goal is to attract new players I don't think your current trailer is going to give you the best result.

Edit... I just re-watched the Open Beta trailer. Seriously, update the Open Beta Trailer for release.

It doesn't bring any attention to the awesome things this game has, for example: passive tree, gem-system, upcoming content (gems, class), 4 month ladder system, that could spark "now that's neat" in one's mind.

Quite disappointed with the "trailer".

Also the new character is from noble circle, and such "open" cleavage is the last thing that comes to my mind. Personally I'd prefer more elegantly delivered "cleavage", if such is needed. "Cheap" was a first thought after seeing it.

Nope. It's just the generic Inception music clone, which everyone is still so fond of copying off of...

EDIT: Also the trailer is timed exclusive to GT atm and will be uploaded to youtube later, much like how the OB trailer was too...

Great trailer, 1.0 looks like a complete win. I'm sad to see boobs selling the game though. No more OTT boobs in PoE please.
