Factorio trailers sucks (sopuli.xyz)

First of, Iam a long time Factorio player, played over 1k hours and looking forward to space age!

But a friend just showed me the satisfactory 1.0 release trailer. I have never had time to played it, for various reasons. And wow it looked fun, and incredibly!

So that reminded me of Factorios trailers... And my god, does it looking boring as hell. Even the new space age trailers, it's just showing the space platform, and the other trailer on the steam page is a spidertron walking around on Fulgora...

Why is it, that Factorio trailers is soo boring? It's show nothing of the gameplay or anything. Not sure where iam going with this post, was just kinda surprising to me that the trailers sucked so much compared to satisfactory

You might be right, that 3D does make it easier to make good looking trailers.

But iam not talking about Factorio vs satisfactory gameplay.

Iam talking strictly about the trailers, so much is happening is the 1.0 trailer and it looks fun.

Where as Factorio space age dlc have 2 videos. One is just showing the space platform. And the other is the spidertron running around, showing a already build base. And I was thinking if I showed this video to a friend that had not played Factorio before, it's just doesn't look very appealing compared to the satisfactory trailer

Something more comprehensive would be nice, and I bet that will happen closer to release. Assets are still being developed after all!

The 1.0 release trailer was pretty goo, but I can see how a trailer with a few more cuts could cover a lot more ground. The single-take style is reminiscent of game demos (which is how they're made too!), but it is a tad limiting.

Totally agree, I really hope they do something new for space age and potentially 2.0 if they want to market that at the same time as their dlc release
