Same. That was a hard wince (as was the conspiracy theory archaeology), he's just made too many bad choices with Bethsoft games.
Game... I'm not sure. The trailer had a lot of 'recreating specific scenes from the various movies' and not a lot of detail. I'm sure that was a marketing gimmick, but it makes me wonder if there will be more than 'memberberries to the game itself.
Efficiency is the highest virtue.

Another thing that's making me a little apprehensive are the devs involved, who made the newer Wolfenstein games. Now, the first one, New Order, is an amazing grindhouse experience, with excellent set piece fights and pacing it all just right, whereas the sequel, New Colossus, while it had its moments (getting a milkshake in Roswell's and the movie audition), ultimately felt more of a mess with poor pacing and overly long fights to me, plus an ending that came out of nowhere when it felt like we were still due a boss fight or something along those lines.
So, on the one hand, these guys doing an Indy game is awesome, because making games about killing nazi's is something they're damned good at, but the pacing of the second game..

I'm interested, but, yeah, it doesn't really show us much. Well, at the very least, it makes me want to play through Fate of Atlantis again.

Well, this looks like AI generated voice. Which instantly has my hackles up. Why do we insist on mod edit - removed! Can you stop it already with the inflammatory language?

GW:"Space marines got too many options to balance, therefore we decided to legends HH units." Players: "why?!? Now we finally got decent plastic kits and you cut them?" Chaos marines players: "Since when are Daemonengines 30k models and why do i have NO droppods now?" GW" MONEY.... erm i meant TOO MANY OPTIONS (to resell your army to you again by disalowing former units)! Do you want specific tyranid fighiting Primaris? Even a new sabotage lieutnant!"
