Am I the only one who hates videogame teaser trailers?  Why not skip the crap I don't care about and show me what it looks like to play the actual game?

Oh no, you are most definitely not.  This is one of the more detestable trends to have surfaced this past generation.  And though western publishers seem be the bigger culprits (Dead Island, Last of Us, etc...come to mind), Japanese publishers are complicit too (RE 6, for example...what have we seen of this game?)

I blame this sort of hollywood-ization of games.    It seems that with smartphone gaming eating away at low-budget games, the higher budget games are really higher budget, and shoot for these high production value, expensive, hollywood cinematic experiences.  It's no mistake that a lot of these devs, along with E3 itself, are in Los Angeles or the surrounding areas (Blizzard, Activision, Sony Santa Monica, etc. etc.).    And as a result of this, we're seeing the way that games are being marketed resembling more and more the way that movies are marketed, with teaser trailers, big "opening" release dates, big name voice actors, basing games on existing franchises (or "IP's").  I mean, we've got game "trilogies" now.  Oh, facepalm. 

I know a lot of people, including Nintendo fans, people on staff here, and the RFN guys want Nintendo to get with the times and adopt a lot of the practices that western publishers take.  Some of those practices, such as better online infrastructure (which I don't give a crap about), DLC (ditto), and patches (sure), it would be nice if Nintendo took up.  But the last thing I want to see is something like an epic Super Mario trilogy or even focus on LORE (what a dumb word, and a dumb concept for games) for Zelda. 

Let's not forget Square and the Final Fantasy series.

I really don't have high hopes for this game, as that teaser trailer looked pretty terrible.  It looked like a Marvel Ultimate Alliance game with the Avengers tacked-on.  Still, we'll see how the gameplay looks.

Oh, and I would also add that Storm and most of the X-men are not actually Avengers.  Only Wolverine is.  Marvel Nerd Forever!

Cheap cash in on a popular franchise? Sign me up!  :cool;

will this have ultimate alliance style gameplay?

A lot. Even the reveal trailer had gameplay in it.

But she was an Avenger, she just chose to side with the X-Men in AvX.

Looking at the Kinect footage, it looks like this is a fighting game. The Kinect controls seem awful.
