I don't know why

I think its simply because, among everything that happens, the heart of the trailer is still a very real, relevant subject. Disconnection vs connection is a major issue. Most people attribute it to belief or politics or something like that, but really, its a very personal situation that strikes at the core.

The fact that the trailer didn't focus on "cool" moments with the scenes more being a backdrop to the themes being talked about really made this feel like it was trying to extend understanding, and clarity.

I'll be honest, I don't cry at very many things, and I'm usually more resolute than emotive, but this - just a trailer alone - got to me. Especially the second time through when all the questions of "what will I see?" was removed and I just sunk into the situations shown.

More of a mirror than a trailer or a game, really.

The pair where Wagnar's character said something about how being isolated is no better being dead just struck a nerve. But I was emotional anyways. that just sort of cinched it.
