And here we go again. Last year, when EA unveiled SSX: Deadly Descents, the Internet descended on them in a rather deadly decent into all sorts of nasty name-calling and threats based on the trailer that showed the new installment was headed in a more action flick direction, something many die-hard SSX fans didn't want at all. Now, Namco Bandai is facing the same sort of crankiness based on a trailer that also doesn't even show any gameplay at all. Worse, some of the comments directed toward the game's dev team are at best, ignorant and at worst, more than a tiny bit racist.
"DESTROY ALL FANBOYS!" 
Glad to see some common sense in the interwebs. I agree with what you wrote about the game and would like to point out that the guys at Bugbear didn't have anything to do with this CGI teaser. It's so depressing to see people crucifying a game based on a damn teaser video with no actual game footage in it. Cheers!

Ah – I'd forgotten to mention that trailer wasn't done by Bugbear (many CG trailers for games are outsourced to studios that specialize in them). Still, some of the negative comments I've read about it were a bit mean spirited and off-base from those who want to find anything/everything to complain about here before they've seen a single second of gameplay or even a screen shot.
I have the feeling a few words will be eaten by some of those posters once we start seeing how the actual game is turning out.
Of course, as much as I'm looking forward to this one, it would also be nice to see a current-gen version of Glimmeratti show up on either a console or handheld at some point in the future (NGP/3DS, hint, hint)…
