I find live action trailers so pointless, I wish companies would stop making them.

To be honest the difference isn't that big between this and a cinematic trailer(ala Shogun2 for example), they both have something to do with the setting but it's not necessarily going to be representative of the game itself. They could have shown more of the "War" aspect in the liveaction but meh.

Whoa, Artifex now? I've got connections now

Anyway, yeah, making of doc about a live action trailer doesnt' really interest me much, just thought it might someone here.

Dont think a gameplay video will come out for some while yet

Interesting to see the process though. Plus, I didn't know that the two were twins until they said it in the video.

I found the live action trailer very interesting, and a good salad for the main course R2TW will be. Defiantly put me in the mood.
Also the fact that CA spent lots of money (probably in the thousands) to make a live action trailer is a good reminder of their confidence in R2TW.
I'm obviously looking forward to some gameplay vids though.

What I didn't like was the gesture of kissing the ring. I would've preferred much more the older senator clasping hands(in a broutherly way) or putting his hand on the shoulder of the young one(whose mentor he has been) and then the young moving his gaze just a little to the side, a second before the hands of the legionaries grasp the old one to remove him. If this doesn't scream betrayal, I don't know what will

As for the scene with one brother killing the other, I remembered an excerpt from a description of the battle of Pharsalus by Dio where relatives and neighbours found themselves on opposing sides and "sent messages home through their very slayers".
