    Someone reversed the trailer. Judging by its quick rise to popularity, I'm assuming a lot of you want to see this:

    Kinda loses the magic when it's put into "reverse". I prefer the original (and great) trailer.

    Yeah, something's lost. Or some things.

    I agree with the above, Something's weird. I guess there are some sort of techniques you use when you make something in reverse.

    Now that I think about it. It needs to be cut. The original footage had forward footage which is now in reverse. Just cut it so the whole thing flows forward. I'm sure someone is working on that now.

    I didn't find it weird, it fit fairly well. Even the music works out. 
     
    I read up quickly on the game off the GB wiki. It doesn't look like you'll be playing as/with the people in the trailer, which is kind of odd. They made an entire trailer about this one family's struggle, and they wont' be in the final game. I'm betting, however, the end result of all of this, the hotel room, will be a sort of Easter egg, if you can find it.

    I thought it was a good piece of cinema to begin with. Showed you a narrative from 2 ends and then told you why you should care.

    In typical "gamers don't get it" fashion, someone removes the potent moment of the trailer (that is, the beginning with the dead girl and the end with the dad reaching for her) in order to better establish a timeline. Gamers really are some autistic motherfuckers.

    Unless this is the last 3 minutes of the game. Which would be messed up.
