It's OK but really the whole 80's spoof thing is done to death now. Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon had a VHS trailer with effects so similar I'm wondering if Namco didn't just lift that intro. The launch trailer for that same game had none of the pseudo-artefacting but I think they nailed the actual feel of shitty direct to video action movie trailers in all aspects (voice overs, music, structure, editing...). The DS3 take on that is too overtly tongue in cheek.

Compare and judge !

Nemesis is a legit decent little action romp / distinguished mentally-challenged Blade Runner version by Albert Pyun BTW.
The Virtual Combat trailer voiceover is even way worse on the french version. "The future of martial arts will never be the same ever... now !"

Ah good old albert pyun, master garbage maker. There'll always be space in my heart for Cyborg and Nemesis though.
