I agree that it did seem like a tribute to Jackie, in the last NCW. Really caught me off guard. The tone kinda felt like it fit the world, and wasn't overly sentimental or saccharine. It also seemed like a confirmation, for me, because they did other stuff like: show V's lower body, more footage of driving, a peek at character creator, showed an attractive guy, etc - stuff people had been discussing, idk. I think I'd rather know a guy like Jackie is going to die beforehand. Maybe it's not spoiled it if it's inevitable and a key element to how things play out. And it did make an epic trailer before we knew more of Jackie. He may play into the story a lot more despite his death, through his earlier connections, or deeds. Can't wait to play and find out.
