trying to give a better overview of this trailer (and I definitely don't think we need to take screenshots to go along with a quaintly defunct analysis)

At the time this trailer was made, Oni was quite young. There was probably no actual gameplay footage that the team felt was decent enough, so this CG trailer was produced by the two main artists for the game, Alex Okita and Chris Hughes, as well as Steve Abeyta. Abeyta revealed in an {{OCF}} thread that "[i]t was my first try at animating since I was hired on as an environment artist." His skills would improve amazingly by the time Oni was released. | |||
Notable elements: | |||
*This was a trailer for the pre-Hardy Oni; as documented [[Oni|here]], the story originally had Konoko as a cyborg before LeBel was brought in as Story & Design Lead. | |||
*As seen around 45 seconds in, Konoko still had what now resemble SLD markings under her eyes (they had the unfortunate effect of making her eyes look huge when shown too quickly). | |||
*Many complex melee moves are utilized by Konoko that were never implemented into the game, although at least one such move actually was used: the Lariat (at 0:58). | |||
*Various pre-Lorraine concept art can be seen flashing across the screen. | |||
*An older "Oni" logo was being used at this time, as seen at 0:10. | |||

Since so little was known at the time about Oni, and Oni itself was yet to be revamped, this is more interesting for historical purposes than it is informative. | ||
