The problem with the current intro video, If you are not familiar with the story line of EVE, it leaves you guessing and wonderinga bit.
The original intro video (IMO) not only tells you more about the history of EVE, but in doing so it also lays more of a path for you in the game. The Original video actually gave you a reason why New Eden is even here. The new video pretty much says "Here is this big universe for no reason, have fun not knowing wtf you are doing" .. The current intro looks just like any other MMO intro. A lot of stuff in eve is actually going that way.
The old video gave you a better sense of what EVE is all about. What the game is all about, which in my mind, gives me a better idea of what I want to do with myself in game.

i agree, the old video explained so much more and lays the foundation for each race. At the minute you are thrust into EVE and have no idea the back story of each race or of the universe.

Yea, I didnt exactly mean bring back the exact video, but the "Quality" of the video. A REAL INTRODUCTION TO EVE, not just a "Hey, look at this bog complicated place, have fun..."
The Intro video is THE FIRST THING new players see when they get here. It is the first thing that should put that seed on inspiration into their head about what they want to do here. Not confuse and intimidate them My post was probably full of typos. I don;t care... |

A new version of the original perhaps? Several of the visuals in the original would jar with v3GÇÖd assets. But beyond that IGÇÖd agree, GÇ£a world outgrownGÇ¥ was awesome and it says something that itGÇÖs been years since I last saw it and I still remember it - whereas I canGÇÖt say I remember even seeing the current one, although I must have because I remember the client resetting to show it when they brought it out.

The new video has ZERO STORYLINE. Its horrible. Its beyond horrible.'
The Funny part: The new video is LESS New-Player-Friendly than the old one, yet the new video was 'supposed' to be a re-vamp of the intro to make it more new-payer-friendly
they made it TL;DR friendly, and as such made the into to EVE a little MORE confusing to new players My post was probably full of typos. I don;t care... |

I agree completely. The original intro video really pulled me into the game as soon as I started. I would love to see a revamped version, using a similar script, with production value akin to the fanfest cinematic trailer.
The old intro really does a great job of setting the stage for what type of world the player is getting themselves into, and what sort of mentality they should have to succeed. The current video is informative and let's you know you'll be in space, but not much beyond that. |

New video : "Hi, this is EVE. Its big and It's in Space. Good luck"
Old Video: "Hey, this is eve. We are here because we came looking for prosperity in a new world. Prosperity by any means. The universe is a cold and dark place that is not your friend. Be brave and cunning and you will prosper." My post was probably full of typos. I don;t care... |

The Raise the Flag fan videos are pretty sweet as well and they are along the same vein

as far as i remember the intro video for each patch has somethin to do with that new patch so if you aint seen the old ones then you don't know what's goin on though a video to walk you through it all from begining till now with the arrival into eve and story from then till now would be rather ace :) |

nope, you're thinking of the trailers. OP (and everyone else) is talking about the opening videos to the game that you watch like once. |

They should really stick the old intro into the character creator. Like the front page that goes over all four races. but they won't because they are dumb.
why do I know they are dumb? because I've been saying the same thing for years, and nothing ever happens. It's like new players need to be sent a link by us friends to see the old intro so they can pick a race to play. so stupid! |

I agree a new intro using the old voice and narrative would be great and very appropriate.
Not sure why it was ever changed.

I always tell people I try to convince into playing EVE online to watch the old intro video. CCP should focus much more on the rich lore behind EVE Online imho. |

The old one actually explained the history of what brought us all to this current situation. The new intro is shiny but boring. I love the art-style used in the old intro and it actually tied in beautifully with the art and chronicles which CCP used to lovingly publish.
I would like to see the original intro return but furthermore would love to see the return of fortnightly chronicles like we used to have. They covered the gamut of goings on in the eve world at a macro-level and their absence has really lead to a lack of meaning for many peoples motivation.

The old intro did a much better job of introducing the premise of EVE to new players than the current one. I feel like replacing the current, ****** into with a revised version of the original intro would make the first time a player loads up the client much more impactful and informative.
I also feel like the storyline and backstory content is still too separate from the game itself. Maybe there should be a chronicles UI icon or something, the games story might not be super relevant to most players, but it is actually fairly interesting and having to read web pages completely external to the game to learn about it isn't particularly convenient or immerse. |

Yep, same here. CCP should really look into this. Time to bring back some of the old glory. Who needs television when you have EVE? EVE drama, best drama. |

According to CCP, it changed to 'Enhance' the new player experience.
I'm not sure how it did that. Like I said before, I think the original video was much more informative as to what EVE is all about. My post was probably full of typos. I don;t care... |
