I won a 12-month CC subscription a while back and was waiting for this to drop before activating it.

I know I'm Mr Cynical, but seriously - can anyone watch this trailer without bursting out laughing?



That shot at 1'34...

EDIT, I'll behave after this, I promise. I know why that shot is a trigger for me, it's from a British sketch show called The Fast Show. One of the most celebrated sequences is Jazz Club, and presenter Louis Balfour's looks to camera - especially at the end - are uncannily similar.



PS - the names of the jazz players are always great for Brits. Theydon Bois, here on guitar, is in fact a small town in Essex near the M25 motorway.

Yeah the trailer is more than a bit kitsch, the Blade Runner font got me.

It will be interesting to have a deep dive in to it. I'll download it on the day of release and then play with it the next night.

I like the sounds - I just don't know if I would ever need them.
