Hey, I'm not saying the game looks bad, but the trailers are terrible. I already knew I could use a bike and grapple onto a helicopter, but trying to make a trailer out of it doesn't make me all giddy.

The trailers are awesome because they don't take themselves seriously. At least I hope so.

And here I thought the upgrade was to strap a motorbike directly onto a helicopter or soemthing.

But why blow up the gas station? Now the nice citizens you're trying to liberate can't buy fuel for their cars. :(

@prencher: I don't know everything about the game, I saw in other trailers about the grapple hook. 
 
What I'm saying is, instead of trying to make an awesome trailer out of one hijack, they should have showed other things with it, other way he could have hijacked the helicopter. 
 
I still think the game looks good, so stop trying to prove my opinion wrong.

These trailers are aggravatingly misleading.  I keep watching them expecting something cool and they don't show anything to get excited about.  The last one set up an awesome wreck and then yanked it away at the last second, this one promises vehicle upgrades and simply shows him changing vehicles.  I want them to either show stuff we haven't seen in the first game or something creative.  Get the guy who played the dev diaries to do the trailers.

I don't get it.
 
EDIT: OHHH. It's an "Up"grade. Not an actual upgrade, but an "Up"grade. Now I see.

@HatKing:  I'm right there with you HatKing, I'm not a fan of these trailers, but this one was better than the last one. Also, the dev diaries did all of the work to get a pre-order out of me... plus a $15 credit from an online retailer located somewhere in the Amazons was icing on the cake.

that ramp seems like its only purpose is to launch you to the helicopter...which probably just hangs there?

WTF, none of that made any sense whatsoever. 
 
1. Blowing up the gas station doesn't help nor hinder getting an "up" grade. 
2. That bridge is completely unimportant too. 
3. Why would there be a random ramp there?!

Dude, I have absolutely no idea what to think of this game.  With that kinda-sweet Amazon preorder deal, it's tempting... 
 
At least there's a demo...tomorrow?  Right ?

Nice little trailer there. Probably the best one of these trailers since it uses a little play on words.

I think it was very much called for in this case. These trailers are indeed the best. You simply appear to be broken. Fret not, you will come around in time. :D

I really hope they include/release a create mode a la Crackdown's Key's to the City.  There are few things I enjoy more in a sandbox game than creating insane scenarios using enough explosive canisters to break the game engine.

I have a friend who did that thing right there once.  I was filming it but accidentally forgot to remove the lens cap.  You'll have to take my word on it.

Conveniently placed heli, and interesting how he was suspended like a stone after grappling.
 
I'm curious to see the swinging physics in this, because that just looked weird. Also, that scream was ridiculous.

 I checked out the demo last night. I wasn't attracted by these videos, but after playing it I'm more interested, may even pick it up. But first I have to get through the rest of the pile which is march.
