They were atmospheric but didn't seem loud or monotonous enough to get annoying like they do in other games (Space Engineers).

With every minute passing the game gets more advanced and more finished, but that is not the point of a greenlight game.

The quality of the video is unsatisfactory compared to the original (Youtube recompresses the video) and we keep seeing more and more tiny little errors in the trailer - things like bad timing of honking when the train leaves the sorter, too close zooming now and there, one of the biters being rendered "inside the worm", clash sound on the bridge played a bit too early. So we monitored the reactions rather anxiously.

FACTORIO TRAILER SCANDAL

On May 1st, developers of a small indie "game" presented their "efforts," acquiring a large wave of criticism.

"It was going well for the first 20 seconds so I bought the game at that point," one watcher admits, "but then the camera zoomed in too much and I wasn't sure if I had made a good decision. But then I saw... That space bug, it clipped right through some sort of hole in the ground and that was it. I sent them an e-mail requesting refund on the spot, but they didn't reply for a long time. I was patient. I waited. In fact, I waited till the bugs crossed the bridge and got ran over by a train that honked late. That left me speechless. Not only they ignored me, they even lacked the decency to make the train honk a second earlier on top of their earlier mistakes! I had to close trailer that instant and start writing a formal letter. I'll see them on court and I pray to God they won't get away with mistreating their customers like this."
