Rooster Teeth has made it an annual tradition of giving PAX East attendees a glimpse into the future by unveiling the next season of hit machinima series Red vs. Blue. Last year, they showed the first four episodes of Season 8, which Bernie Burns appreciated me calling "the most impressive single episode of the show I've ever seen."

Their 2011 preview wasn't quite as impressive, as they showed only a trailer, not a full episode or four. But Season 9 nonetheless promises to be as awesome as Season 8, as fans can now see for themselves, with today's online release of said trailer. It starts off seeming to pick up where last season left off, but soon, things start seeming amiss…

What do you think? Is Rooster Teeth going in the right direction by taking Red vs. Blue backward?
