Been thinking on this a bit ...
The basic story is still there with a few minor changes, and the only change in AUJ which bugged me was Azog being alive and chasing Thorin. Heck, if it had been Bolg chasing him, I would have liked it better, and it would have made made more sense to me and kept Bolg as a recurring villain all the way to the BO5A.
DOS seems from the trailer to be lighter on the chase and have more of the actual book events taking place. Albeit with some of PJ's changes, but the nuts and bolts of it will be there for the most part.
I think in stretching it to 3 films he had to add some drama ie Azog's pursuit, which hopefully won't encompass most of DOS.
thought's comments ...???

An Unexpected actuall had a LOT of the book in place. If you took out the oft erroneous addenda, it would be a pretty accurate representation of the first third of the novel.
I agree with you ENTIRELY about Azog and about Bolg. I really hope Azog doesn't go any further than film two, except in potential flashback. It is getting to the point where I become angry when I see him, but not because he is a creep (though he is), just because it gets to feel like having a brazen contradiction rubbed in your face.
Go Home Azog, you're dead!

It's early of course but yes I hope Azog is gone in film 2 and that he graphically looked better in this trailer than he did in AUJ the movie. I know it's a teaser trailer and it's early but it was less jarring to me to see him because i felt the graphics were better.

The first part i the Shire was so perfect to me that it even had the critics crying of boredom and length!!!! The good morning convo, three trolls, goblins, stone giants, Eagles, GOLLUM!!!!
I have never been fond of elves and I can't wait to get past the Barrel/Azog/Elves over the top scene (though I'm sure it will be a cool and exciting scene). The reason DoS will be much different is because of the Gandalf and DG stuff. It will be different feeling from the book(in a good way imo but still different). Other than that you are correct it appears. Beorn, Mirkwood, spiders, Thranduil, Barrels, Bard, Laketown and SCHMMMMAUUUGGGG. I think the Laketown politics will be greatly amped and feel unfamiliar.
I have basically accepted Azog and try to enjoy him so I am very much intrigued now as to how he will play out. I think he can have a fitting end if they kill him rather soon. Beorn just crushing him early in DoS would be quite symbolic to many. If your point is that the whole Azog chase thing will be over than yes DoS will be 1000x better. We will get him in the barrel scene(I am assuming) and than that will be it for chasing I think. He will go to DG or Gundabad after his second big failure I predict
