Same opinion, OB trailer was much better :'(

I'm afraid this one will fail to impress potential new players

Sadly, I'll have to agree :(
Open beta trailer was insane, it took half video for me to download the game client. This release trailer - from new player perspective - doesn't really give reasons to do that. It doesn't introduce PoEs best features at all. That fireball + skillgem X part made me drool back then.

Great Job Guys! Im SOOOO Proud of you guys and everything that you have accomplished! Only the best of luck to all of you! CANT FUCKING WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When the Russian language in the game?

Desync.

Who is the blonde bitch?

Too bad I can't watch it. I refuse to remove a company like GT from my Adblock whitelist for anything. Why couldn't you host the vid the same way you've hosed every other vid you've released?

Anything to save/make a buck???

LOL... you can do a temp unblock for the trailer video page only... and then reinstate the block when done. That's what I did.

....Yeah, I'm going to have to jump on the bandwagon and say that the Open Beta trailer was probably better. But unlike the myriad of posts with one or two lines simply stating that, I'm going to throw up a wall of text explaining why.

First off, the Open Beta trailer wasn't focused on any one class. Most of the vocals were Dominus, the big bad mofo who exiled us in the first place, which was rather appropriate considering that the exile facing him could have been any of the six. The release trailer is rather focused on the Scion coping with exile - the storyline of an entire seventh of the protagonists you can play as.

Second, the release trailer is rather lacking in decent gameplay footage. Sure, there's a few seconds of guys hitting things, but it wasn't for long enough to show how deep the game can really be. Instead, the few seconds of gameplay footage we get only show off how the graphics aren't all that great.

Finally, and most importantly, there's a complete and utter lack of discussion of the actual features of the game. If I were to ask someone who hadn't played the game before what the point of the game is after showing them the trailer, I honestly don't know what they'd say - but they most likely wouldn't say that it's supposed to be a loot-em-up with a metric ton of build diversity; especially since so much screen time is spent looking at the Scion's (admittedly well modeled) backside.

You guys have made a great game; advertise it as the game you've made it to be. Don't be afraid to brag about the passive skill labyrinth or the crapload of gems available for build customization; ESPECIALLY not in your trailer - the video that's supposed to describe what makes people want to play.
