World of Tanks Beta Teaser Trailer (PC) - GameSpot Video (http://asia.gamespot.com/pc/action/worldoftanks/video/6268700/world-of-tanks-beta-teaser-trailer?tag=related_video%3Btitle%3B1)

Is anyone as confused as me after watching that video?
*scratches head*

[Flab-Ender]

Ummmmmmmm? Severely confused now.

[Jayhmmz]

I just don't get it. The sound of a helicopter... race cars... then HOLY **** RUSSIAN AND GERMAN TANKS!

[Flab-Ender]

I KNOW! It doesn't make sense.

You look at the beta?

[Ilyich Valken]

Uh... what? That made... zero sense.

[Jayhmmz]

I KNOW! It doesn't make sense.

You look at the beta?

I don't think I want to, in case my head explodes or something :/ It's just too random, I have no idea what they were thinking with that. I'm just wondering whether the cars are actually gunna be put into the game, or whether it's just some sort of crazy selling point... I don't know! Ahhhh!

[Flab-Ender]

Any idea who it's made by? Or if it's even real lol?

[Jayhmmz]

Wargaming.net apparently... ?? I don't know.

[Flab-Ender]

It looks soooo.......fake haha. I don't know what else to say. Cheesy maybe.

[Jayhmmz]

It doesn't look too great either :/ I mean, I've seen better graphics on racing games on the original Xbox.

[Flab-Ender]

I know! When the cars first showed up it looked like they were just sliding around, not really rolling haha.

As well as that, the textures are horrible!! Eurgh!

[Flab-Ender]

Ya......but I cause you can't really dog on it too much.

First off, it may not even be real, second, it's on its beta haha.

[Jayhmmz]

They beta make it good... OHHHH see what I did there!? Oh I went there.
Anyway, I hope it's a joke... because it looks like a joke!

Wow, just wow.......

haha this video is full of "lolwut"

in case there are any of you who are still/actually confused - the cars aren't a part of the game; the actual game is a massively multiplayer online 3D tank battle game. The trailer here is just a spoof to make you think "oh it's a street racing game or something cool" and then it's like "NOPE LOL TANK SAYS HELLO"

Also, yes, those graphics and animations are atrocious. Even the untrained eye cries watching that video XD

Thank you for the enlightenment :D
Well, it's pretty clear that this game is going to fail on visuals, potentially game play and the obvious fact that it's getting made to be an MMO... I mean again, lulwut!?

Lol I figured as much. So it's no good?

[Jayhmmz]

It definitely does not sound good! I'm staying well away from this one, personally.

[Jaykub]

Whoever made this needs to check into rehab.

[Jayhmmz]

Haha, indeed. The whole thought and theory behind it is just... waffles!
Actually no, this isn't waffles, it would be doing waffles an injustice for me to waffle this game - this game is sprouts!

It looks like they took 3 ****ty games and made it into one :huh:

[Jayhmmz]

Lmao. It does actually look like a retarded version of Need for Speed, All Points Bulletin and Company of Heroes. It's an insult to those games! Well, apart from APB 'cause let's face it, that fell on it ass!

[Diligence109]

[Jayhmmz]

You can go wrong if they're in a **** game. This game will be ****.

[ROFLBRYCE]

When I first found out about it, it sounded pretty cool. Seeing a trailer now, just looks...like I won't be buying it any time soon, haha.

You saw it before that trailer?

[Jaykub]

You saw it before that trailer?

He probably just read about or something I'm guessing.

[Exentenzed]

Dude... Wait, what?

Im still stuck on where as there is ANY point at all to that video.
You know, except showing off their horrible graphics.

Well, I can't see anything more than that either :P
If a game looks horrendous then I will not be buying it, regardless of game play (which also looks gash.)

[Lanzer]

I've been playing World of Tanks since the beta. Even then it was a solid game. Sure once you play for awhile you will find some things to bark at, however if you like the sound of having an intense fast paced tank battle this game is seriously worth considering.

The game is free to download and play. If you feel the need, you could purchase gold but it by no means a hindrance to you.

It is by far one of the best battle games I've come across. If you are thinking it is too good to be true for a free game, it truly isn't.

I could write a wall of text to try and explain the Russian developers odd advertisement videos, however I feel a video of the intense warfare I participate in daily would say far more than I ever could.

Enjoy watching the heavy tanks destroy each other. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-GSp6UHQcI)
