Some people still aren't anle to believe the fact that the technology of AW could be real at that time. But everything you saw in the trailer is already made in reallife as something smaller or as a prototype. Even the spider tank (similar to the CLAW) already exists as a mechanical donkey. Make it somewhat stronger, put a cannon on its back and tadaa -> spider tank.

Mech suits exist, gekko gloves exist, hover technology exists, VTOLs exist, metascreen exists, it's just that the normal person doesn't see it in the news and stuff.
