Finally, Some Good Trailers - Delayed Input with Kyle Bosman

[@Bobio]

That Partitio bit was amazing. If he's not breathing down your neck throughout the whole adventure, who can really call it an adventure?

[@QB.113]

Kyle, I respect you so much for owning up to your embarrassing mistake on Call of Duty and demonstrating you have learned the error of your ways. L&R.

[@DapperDevNull]

I can't believe there was so much talk of "Oh I remember that" moments and even a mention of Back to the Future II, and yet Kyle didn't utter the words "Doc Brown Spider Monster" even once

[@st0mpz_G]

He's off enjoying his new / recent viewership, while meanwhile us old vets have to reminisce over scraps in the comments 😉

[@MrDannyWright]

The scene from the God of War trailer is Hati & Skoll, two wolves who individually pursue the moon and the sun across the sky. Traditionally they catch their respective prey at Ragnarok, but it looks like the opposite is happening here. The celestial bodies have already stopped, and Hati and Skoll get them moving again.

[@onixtalks]

As bad as the line was for Particio, I am legitimately interested in his character motivations and where his arc will take that story.

[@sonicstage1]

Great choice of cat.

[@geminusleonem9365]

As soon as he mentioned the God of War moment I knew it was the wolf going after the sun.

[@DerDudeVll]

oh yeah, I remember that part

I like the Zelda trailer, but I think it would be a lot better if Marth was helping Link open that big door.

[@MrYuntu]

The Octopath trailer made me realize how ingrained its main theme is in my head already, because a couple seconds in and the rendition of it this time starts ... instant realization we about to get Octopath 2.

[@muffinszation]

Kyle, I’m disappointed that you didn’t use the car honk once the wolf started howling in the Ragnarok trailer. The honk community will remember this.

[@KeRaySh]

That last second made me lose it. Also this week: No burger eating shame. Just way too much leftover naan.

[@crfstaley]

It seems like the critical consensus on GOW Ragnarok has gone way up since that trailer (well deserved) which is odd because I have no idea how people thought that game would be anything less than incredible

[@MrDannyWright]

The first game had lots of problems and annoyed me at times, but they're so good at making trailers that I got sucked in for Ragnarok.

[@MasDouc]

Nobody didn't think the game would be good but they also didn't have a reason to be excited until now

[@celfhelp]

the majority of that 'discourse' was (literal) kids/bots on SNS talking about "reused assets", then we all saw how "reused assets" played out with Elden Ring most people have been looking forward to Ragnarok since the first game released, it's just that online algorithms have evolved to near exclusively push really dumb shit

[@Ayoul]

@@MasDouc Really? That first gameplay trailer seemed to impress people. It looked super polished even though it was quite early.

[@WeeWeeJumbo]

i think actual critics have withheld commentary because it's boring to say "the next one will probably be even better than the first!" i know the stinky gaming forumite subspecies have been calling it 'DLC' because it was built with the same tools and features some of the same characters

Me 2 years ago: “what happened to Kyle’s sense of joy?” Me today: “there it is.”

[@Ahrecks0]

When Kyle said “Zelda just letting us know they’re alright” I immediately started thinking about Metroid and sweating.

“Don’t look Partitio!’’ Thank you, I needed that.

[@StarFanaticCraft]

you got me with that horn Kyle. I burst out laughing

[@Alex_Logan22]

Nah, the recalling weapons clashing with each other twice back to back is the most iconic/memorable moment no one will forget and everyone will talk about, since it’s the big high that the trailer leaves you with, leaving you with immense hype.

[@MAXISORAWIGGLES]

Disagree, I just asked my girlfriend what she thought the most memorable moment of the trailer was and she said the wolf moment because it was the longest part

[@Simar94]

recalling weapons?

[@Largentina.]

Yeah you're definitely not an editor, writer or director. That much is extremely obvious. Glad you liked the hammer and the axe crashing into each other though. But let the big boys talk for now and go play with your Legos.

[@Alex_Logan22]

@@MAXISORAWIGGLES Well yea, that makes sense for girlfriends. For guys, especially avid gamers, its the clashes.

[@Alex_Logan22]

@@Largentina. The editor, writer and director doesn't make these decisions over what they think will be the most memorable 🤦‍♂️ Way to pivot the topic to something completely irrelevant/unrelated, since the writer could easily disagree with the director or editor. Both of these moments are huge and necessary to sell the game, which one is more memorable is completely subjective. I never downplayed the wolves. People argue the same thing over whether Tony's sacrifice or Cap's hammer wielding was more memorable, they both are.

[@rodtrin]

Kyle sold me on Octopath Traveler 2 lol

[@neojd]

Don’t be fooled Kyle. Partitio is clearly Brand Manager.

[@SonOfOdenX]

This GOW scene gives me goosebumps (in a veeery good way) e ve ry single time I see it!

[@wc999]

[@nognaught]

One of the best yet!

[@caramac7636]

Before today, I had never felt even the slightest interest in Octopath Traveler, but Percutio changed all that. I must know more.

[@0FFICERPROBLEM]

Yeah this Patricia character really has me intrigued

[@allanwhittle4603]

That scene is skol and hati chasing the sun and the moon. When they catch and eat the sun and moon its the trigger for ragnarok starting. It was such an epic scene

[@danny123451]

The most exciting things to me this week were the Yakuza announcments.

[@doma3554]

Holy cow, I never noticed until now that Kuvshinov Ilya supports Kyle's Patreon.

[@julienrenaud4646]

I know I am part of the problem but I would absolutely open a door and high five with Marth.

[@gamingwithdummies3960]

Loved this. Another great episode!

[@y2kyle89]

I thought the God of War moment was going to be when the character said "God of War." I went "that's the name of the series!"

[@lukemoonwalker8444]

I also think the positioning of these trailers compared to their release also influences how much can be shown, the GoW trailer is likely the last trailer before launch, Zelda is likely getting one more trailer at TGA and another one in early 2023, you want the best trailer to hit closest to release, so right now the name of the game is what we get on top of the release date.

[@ric3poversace477]

Did you see the cat jump??🥰🥰

[@WeeWeeJumbo]

i'm still surprised that Octopath 1 never made it to PlayStation

[@ST0PF0RTH]

I love you. Never stop making videos.

[@ariwl1]

Zelda just has a borderline-unfair advantage here. It's been without question Nintendo's most anticipated game of the last three years and admittedly there are many Zelda-heads out there, myself very much included, who were sold on the game the moment we knew it existed. But if by some miracle there were gamers out there that didn't know what Zelda was and you showed them all the trailers fresh, I couldn't blame them if they didn't see what the appeal was. But since BotW is Nintendo's most widely acclaimed game in recent history, they have the freedom to drip feed info about it since they know we'll wait for it. Since we have a little over half a year until the game arrives, I suspect we'll get two more trailers before then. One will probably show more gameplay and updated features, and the last one will be the final story/launch trailer to get people hyped just like the first game had. Really the sequel is riding the tsunami of the first game, and Nintendo's taking full advantage of that clout.

[@Avrazael]

That's what makes me worry that ToTK is just gonna be more of the same of botw. It's just riding the hype of that game.

[@ariwl1]

@@Avrazael I know the feeling. How do you make the same world appealing again? Are weapons still going to work the same? So many questions...

[@fabiofabiobio]

I'm on a Huber-esque media blackout for Ragnarok so, with the amount of footage I had to skip just now, this episode truly did achieve Sakurai-like brevity for once. Congrats, Bosman, you did it. Or I did it to you, I guess. You're welcome idk

[@ultimadrago]

Kyle is so right about the lackluster Fire Emblem trailer. God of War's and Tekken's was awesome though!

[@forrestbarnes6035]

Brilliant

[@MannequinSmiles]

Partitio knows that better gear is for the greater good of ending poverty.

[@miscsloan8834]

It's weird seeing old reviews of Back to the future, critics really hated Chritopher Lloyd's performance.

[@Daniel93D]

Missed opportunity for adding a honk to the 16 seconds of the trailer

[@LSCMrSandman]

As soon as you said Octopath Traveller 2 I knew exactly what it was gonna be about soooooo…. Good Trailer?

Sheeeesh back to the future 2 catching strays

[@benfranklincatappleshark]

Dang, that carhorn felt shoe-horned in here this week But the Partitio bit is SO ON POINT. I would love that type of dynamic in a game. Reminds me of the guy in Elden Ring that steals a bit of your collected souls everytime you die. That irked players enough to hunt down and kill him, but if at the end of every battle Partitio was like "donate our loot to the school children?", I'd do it every time.

[@KevinJennissen]

Maybe I'm way off here, but it feels like mostly Japanese (particularly anime-style) games do the "absolute nonsense dialogue during trailers" thing.

[@lonewolf3314]

A good movie trailer i have seen recently is Vikram Vedha, an Indian upcoming movie this September. The music, the lines spoken by the characters in the movie, the narrator for the trailer (or maybe even the movie) and even the lyrics of the song, everything fits so perfectly the scenes shown, everything is top notch, and i am afraid to watch the movie, fearing it would be something less that was already shown, if the whole movie is like this it would be a movie of the year or even the decade. That is why i am pleased just with the trailer and wont be watching the movie. A note of importance the trailer for the movie is uploaded 8th of September, the movie comes out 30th of September, and the trailer already has around 48 million views. I would like to read your opinion on the movie, or even if you show it on some of your streams it would be quite good. I am sure looking forward to it.

[@Erfan_Gg1]

I love your show!

[@charoleawood]

I bet that bird raft will be had toward the beginning of the game. I'm not even sure the player will be deploying the object themselves.

[@Stealitnot]

The Zelda trailer is good despite being basic because those few scenes of traversal embody what the game is. BotW is not a cinematic game like GoW. This trailer's purpose in particular is just title and date reveal so we did get excess, but also moderation. Best of these three imo.

[@Aetilus]

[@kenrulei09]

i mean god of war is out real soon (and i'm excited to play it) but they had to show it, but let's be honest they held off forever to do this, so is zelda totk all that bad? they are still showing things to talk about, and they will deep dive it later probably sooner than god war did with its release right around the corner.

Delayed Input could also be called "The Game Trailer Critique with Kyle Bosman", given how fond he is of expressing his opinion on trailers. Also love how his cat joins in at 0:38. "My hooman is on camera, better get settled."

[@yoshimasterleader]

He could do a new show just critiquing trailers.

[@brentclouse7791]

The Zelda trailer was pretty middling in my opinion. I was expecting this one to be on par with BOTW’s release date / story trailer - the one with the Japanese voices that nearly made me weep when I first saw it. This one was more of Link climbing and gravity rushing or whatever, and I guess the big reveal apart from the title is the bird raft? I might just be a greedy lil boy but I was kinda wanting more.

[@user-kg2ql5sh8u]

It's a nothing trailer

[@Simar94]

The BotW release date trailer was 1.5 months before the release of the game. TotK is still 8 months out. I'm sure there will be better trailers closer to release and I'm actually glad they aren't showing too much.

[@brentclouse7791]

@@Simar94 That's a good point. Late 2022 (Game Awards maybe?) or early 2023 we can probably expect a story-focused trailer.

[@danielsnyman8501]

@@Simar94 Actually I think the fairer comparison here would be the name reveal trailer for breath of the wild that happen at E3 2016, 9 months before the game released. That trailer was leagues better than this trailer and we even got a look at gameplay at E3. This trailer really is as Kyle says, just a nothing trailer. Doesn't move the needle of interest for no one not already interested and I don't think the context makes up for it. It's just bad.

No, I’ll say it; the Zelda trailer was bad. They still haven’t justified how this is it’s own full game. You get the sky islands, buddy which seem like they’re basically just a replacement for shrines, but not much else. It does just look like a DLC chapter so far, especially since they’re reusing the same map. How has the world changed, and why should I care about exploring it again? Did you add in a lot of new enemies? Is combat more or less the same? It’s also very lackluster for a title reveal. Just 30 seconds of gameplay that doesn’t introduce anything new. Even the trailer last year felt more substantial.
