The game itself actually look that good, except that you might not see your hands move like that.

What I proposed doesn't deteriorate this mystery at all. If anything my idea would generate more questions than a random action scene that then becomes the center-piece of the trailer. Showing the city before and after, or simply showing more of the dessicated city with the creepy ambience it was establishing would make us question "what happened here?" and things about the mystery of the
environment, which is why the game, like SS2, is so intriguing in the first place. And which is more compelling than whatever questions the fight scene might have raised.
The second half of the trailer basically catered to the FPS crowd, is the way I see it.
