As you’ll see from the “Destination PlayStation” (ie a retailer-only [[link]] event) title card, this isn’t an official consumer trailer. Doesn’t mean you can’t watch it, though.
The trailer comes courtesy of MSN Games Brazil, who say they obtained it via a source at Ubisoft. It shows just how different the sequel is to the [[link]] first game, with post-apocalyptic deserts replacing city streets, and stylish road warriors replacing stereotypical Asian gangsters.
Not sure why this was shown at a PlayStation event, but then, it’s far too elaborate to be a fake. Guess Ubisoft were peddling more than PlayStation games at the recent get-together.
As for the clip, it’s like stepping back into a time machine, with the clock [[link]] set to 2006. A time when the Wii was unreleased, there was real potential, there were silly trailers with people acting like it’s The Matrix, and there was a Red Steel clip showing graphics the final product will never manage.
