A sword holster that is a gun that shoots swords but still also shoots bullets.

That was my review.

So a female version of a combination of Squall from Final Fantasy 8 and Yuna from Final Fantasy 10-2 teams up with a version of Vergil from DMC3...

Very entertaining. Rubi is still my favorite, however.

I liked the visuals but the sound wasn't as good as last time. The music wasn't as good as the last 2 and the voice acting wasn't fantastic.

In the words of a certain well-known critic who occupies our site: It could only be more awesome if it had tits and was on fire.

Danm ninja I was gonna made a thread on it! Oh well.

Anyway Black wasn't what I was expecting. I thought she would had a whip (althought I kind of right that she still used a string/ range like weapon) but I did knew she would have a partner since she's based from Beauty and the Beast. In saying so I did not expect her to be Japanese related nor to have a ridiculous and over the top weapon! I mean White weapon wasn't as extravagant compared to Red in a good way.

Also the voices was somewhat fine, Black is fine but not the guy (the say he said "perfect" sound like he said it too hard).

The music is ok but I thnik the past two were better (I probably have to listen to it more).

Now I wonder when Yellow trailer will be uploaded.

Well they can make some cool looking fight scenes but I feel like this series (from the trailers anyway) is missing charm or character somewhat. The voice acting isn't bad but it doesn't really seem to fit and overall the production feels like its kind of lacking something, I can't really put my finger on what. I understand that these trailers are just to hype people up with over the top fight scenes, but I'm finding it quite difficult to develop any interest in this show from them. It doesn't help that I don't like the animation style at all either.

Well at least you noticed beforehand. I spent ten minutes writing a rant and came back from posting it to find this one already up :p

OT:

Not bad, but not my favourite. Ending wasn't very fleshed out and hopefully the voice acting improves over the series.

My entire rant, compressed to two sentences. Hm.

Edit: The full rant, for those who wish to read it

This trailer, to me, seems a bit rushed. While not bad in the strictest terms, some of the animations outside of the fight scenes, and even some within the fight scenes, seemed a bit stiff and unnatural. Lip synching was a bit off. Not horribly, but enough to look weird whenever characters were talking. Which brings me to my first point: the voice acting. While there has been much worse VA in past media (*coughresidentevilcough*), it wasn't exceptionally good here, either. The characters did a lot of "oversaying" their lines, if that makes sense. Though, conveniently enough, Blake's "Don't be so dramatic" came off pretty naturally.

The ending is another minor complaint I have. It seemed to go by mostly without explanation. It was all-but-obvious that Blake cut off the car because of her partner's lack of empathy for the train's crew, but it was pretty underwhelming. I think it's because there was nothing that developed before the robot attacked. There was obviously a conflict between the two characters, but it wasn't fleshed out at all. It was the perfect opportunity for character development, It leaves too much unsaid. Was it completely out of character for this guy not to care for other people? Or was it perhaps the final straw after a long time of him having this attitude? Maybe they had a deal that Blake would co-operate with the raid only if no one was harmed? The lack of closure took a lot of weight away from Blake's actions at the end of the trailer.

Despite everything I just said, I'm still tempted to like this trailer. I've liked the others so far, and it's good that they're trying some different ways to show some more character in these trailers. It's definitely not my favourite, though. And I sincerely hope there's some better voice acting once the show gets up and running for real or it might just put me off the whole series.

So, how are they gonna make these crazy cinematics into actual gameplay? Anyone can make nice action scenes, but they have yet to show gameplay footage. I can't see myself getting hyped over this until they do.

Also, the voice acting was pretty meh.

It was a trailer for an upcoming Roosterteeth series, not a game. Sadly.

And the voice acting was pretty meh.

Meh, I think R and W did it a lot better. I wasn't a fan of the dialogue in terms of voice acting or script, and I was rather frustrated by the combat if only because it felt like they were making decisions about it during the fight rather than truly planning it out. "It's a cleaver! Strike that, it's a sword inside a sword! Which can be thrown on a ribbon! And turns into a gun! Which can be shot at a distance by pulling the ribbon!" At least Red and White gave a little forewarning that something was about to change.

It's a trailer for video series. Thus the fact that they do nice action cinematics is good.

True. That was some House of the Dead level of voice acting. OK, not the worst what HotD had to offer but it was just...the best of it, which was really meh.

And who was Black supposed to be modelled after? I'll admit, so far, I've only watched the trailers so maybe I did the wrong assumption, but the previous two seemed to be based on fairytale hero(ine)s but I can't figure Black out.

The voice acting needs work, but I could see it improve before release and as the series continues. The writing at Roosterteeth for RvB and their other shorts has been steadily improving.

I like how they have been slowly introducing, different aspects of the show with each new trailer. The first one was simply action with little context, the second gave the character a voice(possibly?) as well as additional context to what is going on. This 3rd one contained actual dialogue(though again it is a bit sketchy at the moment) and more story in general.

Also now with 100% more pants.

10/10 would slash.

OT:

looked nice.
did not sound nice.

the voice acting needs work and the rock-y music was just grating.

Still interested, though.

Ah, that makes more sense. Now I kind of wish it was a game.

Is it just me or did this seem more like "Adam's Trailer" than "Black's Trailer"?

I swear it seemed as though Adam was taking most of the spotlight and out-classing Blake (I still think that's weird name for a woman btw).

Voice acting and the rest of the audio still needs work, and this is my least favorite of the three so far.

I'm not sure if the script was the worst part, or the delivery. I mean...ow.

On the flip side, I think I actually liked the action in this one the best. And I liked the bladegun. It's like a gunblade...but the opposite.
