That's not easy to say without having played the game. For example it wasn't clear how many puzzle solutions were in their Culture Shock trailer until you saw them in context.
I saw it about a week ago, so maybe it's changed since then (although I doubt it), but it didn't give many puzzles away. It *will* spoil some environments, though, so if you prefer total surprise, I'd avoid all trailers
I think the Gametap trailer for Abe Lincoln Must Die was pretty good, it didn't reveal Abe Lincoln and it had a sorta-fake puzzle (Sam continuously shooting the mailbox).

But then they gave it away on the Infocard...
So it was moot, unfortunately.
Speaking of which, can Telltale try to make sure there are no spoilers on GameTap's infocards, either?
Looks like Episode 5 is indeed set in virtual reality, duh, but I can't tell what the plot is. What I can say is that if you're tired of rehashing everything over and over again this Episode will give you significant relief. It also features a wooden sword.

I emailed them as soon as I saw that. We had sent over a list of things not to reveal, with Lincoln's role in the game being one of them, but there was some confusion about whether that meant not to reveal it in the trailer, or not to reveal it at all. Anyway, they felt bad about it and were very apologetic for the mix-up.
I did see the text that will be going into the info card for episode 5 ahead of time and didn't have any problems with it. We have also been working closely with GameTap to try to prevent spoilers in trailers and other materials (Telltale signed off on the ep4 and ep5 trailers long before they went into GameTap's client). By the time episode 6 rolls around, we'll have this process down pat!
Quick, intern Nick, make us a shiny new trailer. I liked your last one... that should be incentive enough to make us a new one, right? And keep it as spoiler free as the last one. And make me a pie. Mmmm... pie.

Does it look anything like Virtual Boy graphics, or am I aiming too high?
Uhm... Well, has anyone here ever played System Shock 2? Imagine the training session. Basically the world is half real and half neon wireframes with cycadellic colors. It's kind of like Tron or something.
I also saw Hugh bliss with a large hat, like a sombraro Mexican hat or something. Most of the locations I saw were based on the originals, but like I said they are very different now.
Some of them also looked possibly new. I couldn't find any plot clues, but since Sam had a wooden sword, it's possible you do virtual battle with something.
Tell you what, I'll try to capture some screenshots of it. It's really hard to get it to play, so I'll try for just 3 screenshots. I'll enlarge them a bit and try to put a spoiler cover over them too.

It's about two freelance detectives trying to unravel a mystery about hypnotism in the USA.
You had it coming!
That's about all we've been given.
1. Open Sam & Max Episode 4
2. Click Play
3. Open and close the infocard until the video displayed shows the trailer.

EDIT: Does "down pat" mean what I think it means?
Oh, and please?
(Soon, though... soon)
this week?
Yes please! ^^
(obligatory extra letters)
Looks like Tuesday.

You can't spoiler pictures in this forum. Sorry.
Feel free to voice yourself at this thread
Can someone with mod powers please mark this thread as spoilers? There's no way to hide images with spoiler tags...
All these from one run-through of a trailer. All hail the powers of screencapture programs!
