We now have the culmination of last week’s tease-of-a-teaser. Here is the Gamescom 2011 trailer for Might and Magic Heroes VI, establishing the game’s appropriately epic struggle. We’ve got brother against sister, glowing undead and giant insectoid witches, even the Wilhelm scream.
I confess, I find the practice of teasing a future tease frustrating, and I’m not quite sure why the video game hype machine is so fond of this. It befuddles me. The actual “trailer” in question however, is not befuddling, but quite rousing, in an inspiring, high fantasy manner. But again. Using a tease to tease another tease. It’s a problem.
