Somebody asks this every expansion...

Based on previous experience, it will be published on the day of expansion deployment, so you can watch it during the extended downtime.

I only hope it won't be something as easily forgettable as Odyssey trailer.

Just imagine it, it's easy .. it will be awesome looking fleets warping to each other, battling it out, closeups and dialogue that make you tingle and say YES! THAT'S AWESOME! Maybe there will be a scene showing a bounty hunter walking in a station looking for his mark and taking him out when he finds him and you'll e like OMG THAT'S SO COOL ....

... then the trailer ends and you return to spreadsheets online.

It's coming soon(tm).

One week after release

That would be fine, actually... since we're getting winter expansion in mid November anyway

edit: In the meantime, you can watch a player made Rubicon trailer here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vO8Pk-Rq4W8

It's in the works... of course.

Let me be the first to say: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHH_MHd0c94

That drone bay is totally the best part.

That drone bay is totally the best part.

Ignoring the connection to the game, that trailer is a work of art in itself. Taking the game into account, it's even better. The conceptualization of how drones are deployed is beautiful, even if it may never be something we see. Though personally I find the drone bays in our ships much too small to make sentry drones so expendable. The trailer would lead one to believe that they are as cheap and plentiful as ammo.

Seems a lot like pirate ships won't be the only ones we'll have to contend with at ghost sites. The empires are pretty fidgety as well it would appear.

The graphics/VFX/animation team did a great job.

Whilst I would not disagree that it was a very well made video.. I still much prefer trailers which are made using actually in game footage, these for me have a much bigger impact.

As a person watching a trailer with the out look of maybe trying Eve, Trailers such as Crucible have a lot more impact as that is what you get when you play unlike this latest trailer where you will nothing like it when playing.

True. It would be pretty amazing if we had some of the things portrayed in the video. The massive spaceports/cities that you could fly around and all that.

I guess it's a sign of... something, when a MMO developer no longer sells its game nor its lore in its advertising.

This said, maybe someone really wants that EVE TV show. Having the actors submerged in pod goo and experiencing a interface directly cast on their brains could probe both expensive and not very video-able. It's easier and cheaper if they just breathe air and see pwetty lightz in front of them in a ordinary HUD.

Of course, that beheads the lore, splits its craneum in half, removes the brains with a fork, poops in the empy craneum, staples the halves together again and plays football with it... but who cares? The hydrostatic pod and its neural interface only are a piece of lore 10 years old. And they stand on the way of EVE: the TV show.

It's a trailer lol.

You don't like anything, do you?

Not on a par with the epic trailers of a few years ago.

Quantum Rise, Dominion...

Also I was under the assumption that the Ghost Sites were a part of the lore around Rubicon but not the main deal.

Suddenly, world in Rubicon trailer looks more like X-Rebirth gameplay rather than EVE. Yet another cake.

Why are they not bubbling pod goo thru their nostrils? Are there some kind of new implants that we don't know yet? Similar to the DUST players have?

We want the tech the pirates have been developing, CONCORD & the Empires say "nope", we go and take it anyway. Fits the whole theme of defying the empires & there being no going back from that pretty well, I'd say.

I had thought the chain of causation went the other way, probably because of the order information was released.

Capsuleers start pushing out of CONCORD's reach, dropping POCOs and the like, getting an upper hand on the empires. This spooks the pirate factions, who then try to carry out experiments to give them an edge over the capsuleers. We find these and this scares the hell out of CONCORD.

Maybe so. Key takeaway, though, is CONCORD going "No you can't have that" and capsuleers going "**** YOU DAD I'LL DO WHAT I WANT!"

One thing for sure about this expansion, it will be yet another kick in the teeth for the single player

So....ghost sites are out there and if you try to loot one it blows up in your face? Is this what comes after loot spew?

One thing for sure about this expansion, it will be yet another kick in the teeth for the single player

This is a big patch....not an expansion. Just like Odyssey, just like Retribution, just like Inferno, just like Crucible.

Wait, there is singleplayer in EVE? Where?

Nice timing with the release of X-rebirth. One could almost say it is a coincidence

Something tells me you really don't know about the lore much. Which is scary considering you're supposed to be a CSM.


-_-

Shouldn't that mean that CONCORD and the empires would scan for these contraband items on ships entering their space and confiscate them, just like drugs? Giving you a sec status hit as well?

People using these items would be criminals and should be free to be shot down for the non-traitorous pod pilots, CONCORD and the Empires.

Does any part of this story line include things for people who do not want to betray the empires?

(edit: unless you literally mean players who are not married, in which case I don't understand your point.)

Yeah, but any of those "patches" were easily better than incarna, tyrannis, or dominion.

When an image finally appeared, it caught the administrator off guard. The capsuleer was clearly of Amarr descent, with high cheekbones and a clean-shaven scalp, but beyond the most obvious features, little of his face could be discerned. Most of his head was obscured by cybernetic implants: curved, metallic attachments that spread around his skull at every angle, completely concealing his eyes, nose, and mouth. Power and information cables stretched from each implant to somewhere off camera on either side, making it seem like he was suspended in a spider web instead of seated comfortably in a starship in orbit high above the planet.



It was only a simulacrum, an image that this person chose to portray of themselves, but it thoroughly unnerved Yvesk.

only a simulacrum

Tyrannis at least had PI....a rather major mechanic most indeed.

I'm not judging quality at all. I'm judging actual new content as present or not.


These last 5 I listed above just add a ship or two here and there, and change the mechanics of how things already extant in the game are done.

No going back from...what exactly?

That makes no sense at all, why wouldn't the empires want us to go and destroy pirate sites?

so pod fluid is a thing of the past?

or just crative freedom in the trailer

These sites are giving the first access to 'warp engineering technology' in the form of Ascendency implants.

We're heading toward player-generated wormholes/stargates/exploration&colonization. In a lore sense, letting Capsuleers run off into the darkness into Gods-know-what (what if the Sleepers are the least of our worries? What if there's worse out there, and it will start attacking?) without imperial control is terrifying.

Imagine, for instance, that corporations or non-profits were developing the ability to colonize the moon or even Mars-- in a permanent way. Wouldn't national governments go, "uh. No. Nonono. WE do it. Go away."

But why would they order us not to destroy pirate sites? It makes more sense for the empires to reward us for handing in any thing we might find.

The trailer gives a more artistic view that's easier for people to understand and paints an image of what the capsuleer sees in terms of a user interface. Pod fluid is still a thing, yes

Hence the reason the capsuleers see stuff like "Warp Drive Active" across their HUD, the same as players do

If you need to ask that then you need to take a basic poly-sci class coupled with a few history lessons.

Mr Epeen

Wow the scene where the sentry drones popped out of the ship and fired was amazing.

How about showing us the pod fluid and adding some hard sci fi to the mix

How about showing us the pod fluid and adding some hard sci fi to the mix CCP never needed to go all artistic with their trailers before, in game footage was good enough to sell eve in the past, why the sudden and disappointing change?

You know, this kind of reminds of the Star Citizen movies

The art direction CCP chooses to take with their game is their choice, and theirs alone.

I'm pretty sure showing a pod with green goo isn't the best way to attract new subscribers, and most of the current subscribers won't exactly swoon over the presence of green goo either.


So the Eve movie reminds you of the Star Citizen movie. Okay..... Does it also remind you of the Star Wars movies?

They need to compete or die. Hence, they are making videos that remind people of someone elses videos.

Or at least as exciting.

Remind me when we are going to be able to see the insides of our capsules again?

I actually kinda wish that with SC release the people who want to play SC instead of EVE will move on to SC and stop trying to turn EVE into SC.

Personally I don't think EVE should be like SC, but I just think the videos showing capsuleers in cockpits like SC are funny when there will never ever be an in game cockpit. Its kind of false advertisment in a way.

There should be a disclaimer somewhere that says: "*Must use imagination to see inside capsule."

Seriously why not show an in engine demonstration of this activity... Or is it not exciting enough when you go and actually play it in game?

Man that's an exciting looking game. What's it called?

I would like to remind you that Eve was the original Star Citizen before elements of the FIS crowd hijacked community anger over a botched expansion called incarna, a leaked CCP menu entitled 'greed is good' and the mention of gold ammo being on sale in the nex store. The resulting furore turned CCP into a market follower when prior to this it was the market leader in SCI FI mmo's.

Just watched all the old trailers..

and I have to say i do miss the Scope News shorts.. about story line aspects.

But did have a lol at a couple.. There is one where a Abaddon (I am presuming the Amarr queen's) one shots a titan and a field of supers..
And a Null sec battle.. Where is US players Vs Ruski made me think of the current Null war

Man that's an exciting looking game. What's it called?

That makes no sense at all, why wouldn't the empires want us to go and destroy pirate sites?

The Abaddon was the one time Empress Jamyl Sarum took to the field of battle and pretty much slaughtered a Minmatar fleet that had been forged for invading the Empire. The act led her to power. The weapon she used was a Terran super weapon that causes a ship's shields to implode on itself. This explains how (damaged) Amarrian vessels remain after the weapon's use (like old doomsday weapons that attack the grid) but all the Minmatar ships ended up getting torn apart.

This event is covered within the absolutely awesome book (that I highly recommend to everyone): EVE - Empyrean Age

If there's a book that truly covers the holy crapness of EVE, it is that one. Easy read too and don't slow down for a moment.

You reminded me... X-Rebirth in 10 hours!

First off; trailer looks amazing!

Second, does anyone else feel that the general 'feel' of the trailer has become a bit less 'Eve' and a bit more 'Star Wars'?
I'm thinking especially of things like the camera movement and angles. Less 'cold and distant' and more 'in your face and close to the action'.
It doesn't really fit my personal perspective on the Eve atmosphere.
The addition of actual people in the trailers hasn't been around for very long yet, and it definitely changes the way the videos feel, but if it were me directing it I'd not zoom in quite as much, to create a more 'calculated and calm immortal pod pilot' than a 'caught in the heat of the moment immortal pod pilot'.
Immortals aren't so afraid to die after all.

Hell yes. I plan on setting my skillqueues for something pretty long over the weekend. And I already told my wife to watch out for my "zone out" when I have both earbuds in.

.... someone's gonna need to tell me what the hype is about X-Rebirth.

Surely you're joking.

I love this trailer. In fact, I would argue it's their best yet, bar none. No silly narration VO like Retribution and Odyssey, and it is quite suspenseful, ending in a scene that makes me wonder... will these Ghost exploration sites actually explode and pod people? Because I can't wait for the forum tears on that one if that's the case.

A freaking video about hisec pocos would have probably been more interesting.

That's a cool trailer, but I think it belongs in "Out Of Pod Experience". We should probably keep things EVE-related in GD.

But it was nice of CCP to make a trailer that has more to do with Star Citizen than it does EvE.

I liked the trailer in general.

However, does this mean that from now on the frozen corpses will not be nude anymore? That must be some damn heavily armored bra to survive explosive decompression and flash frozing to the bone ;)

As far as showing pod pilots out of the pod - like fiddling with flight controls with hands - I'm not quite sure I like it. Sure its nice looking and all but it does not seem to go that well with the back-story.

Awesome trailer, as always ;) At some point and time tho, i would like to see some of those effects in eve that are shown in the trailer. Like dmg models, would be really awesome! Or ships that are almost destroyed just spining out of control through space before they blow up. Real collisions, that actually cause damage!

Imagine crashing your BS or Dread into a titen and all that with nice damage models.

Since neither explosive decompression or flash-freezing to the bone actually happens, it doesn't need to be that armoured.

Many of the older Eve trailers were just sooo much better in terms of "goosebumps" though. CCP used to have some of the best trailers around tbh. This one seems to be standard trailer material (though not bad by any measure), but maybe I'm just bitter.

Doubt it. (Though a two-stage explosion that first took your ship, then podded you if you didn't get out right quick, would indeed flood the forums in tears.) It's just shorthand for "the explosions are really violent." They don't bother illustrating pods for the same reason they don't bother explaining that ships have shields *and* armor *and* hull. The important thing is that the pirates are dangerous and failure to hack the tower has serious consequences.

After all, the new intro movie for EVE implies that Executioners are shield-tanked.

is the girl in this trailer the same as the girl in the navy slicer in eve origin trainer ?

But is it me or does these blueprints seems to be stargate parts?

hat's just you extrapolating from the fanfest vision presentation. They don't really look like anything, and are supposed to be of deployables and implants if anything. Blink

Imagine, for instance, that corporations or non-profits were developing the ability to colonize the moon or even Mars-- in a permanent way. Wouldn't national governments go, "uh. No. Nonono. WE do it. Go away."

That would be fine, actually... since we're getting winter expansion in mid November anyway

edit: In the meantime, you can watch a player made Rubicon trailer here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vO8Pk-Rq4W8

You know, this kind of reminds me of the Star Citizen movies, except in Star Citizen they aren't pre-rendered movies.

That and you can actually look around in your spaceship in Star Citizen at actual huds.

I remember when they started doing live-action cinematic trailers for Halo, but I don't remember players complaining that the game looked nothing like that... oh, that's right, because they were cinematic trailers, and you're not supposed to expect anything from them except a giddy sense of anticipation.

So the CONCORD guy is like 'Stay the f* out, there will be consequences.' But the only consequences are the pirates' response, there are no consequences from the empires.

If you really are aiming to sow dissension between capsuleers and the empires, you should grant a suspect flag to all capsuleers on grid when a ghost site explodes in empire space. CONCORD's sensor arrays (presumably the same ones that keep Local running) would notice the energy anomaly and punish the capsuleer for disobeying the mandate.

I'm going to cry absolute tears of joy from laughing so hard when Star citizen disappoints you and you type.

You missed the ending to this trailer that was strangely cut from the final edit. After the shot of the capsuleer woman's corpse, you see a visualization of data travelling through multiple fluid routers until it reaches a medical facility. Pan to a clone of the woman that lies still on a medical table. Then pan to a nearby computer terminal that reads:


"Capsuleer clone animation sequence started.

Neural scan data successfully received.

Neural scan data input sequence.... interrupted.

Capsuleer clone animation sequence aborted."


Pan down to a hand at the keyboard, then up to the Concord official's face.

He turns and walks out.

One thing for sure about this expansion, it will be yet another kick in the teeth for the single player

It doesn't beat the Tyrannis one, nothing really does - with the freeze shots of a battle and opening words "I don't care for violence, but it is often a necessary evil" (and the closing sequence with Rifters flying through the battlefield, kind of showing the 'hey, may be a young pilot but this could be you! Flying your Rifter in a massive battle!'). But it's good none the less.

It also features beautiful shots of Machariels and nice artillery effects. That just looked so damn cool.

This trailer is your classic CGI bait and switch.

What kind of public is CCP trying to cater to?
Because people who are attracted by that type of gameplay won't wait long before quitting the game, after discovering that it has nothing to do with dogfighting.
And then they'll start spreading their "omg spreadsheets sooo boring" crap all over the internet.

Just watched the trailer on Steam. Looks interesting, but like any new releases I'll wait a few weeks before I spend $50 on it to see what kinda bugs need to be worked out first.

CCP has no integrity. never has, never will.

Locking threads and deleting posts that you don't like shows poor form CCP. You are a multimillion dollar multinational company FFS stop acting so sensitive to the truth and facts.

That there over-produced CGI trailer is a lot of glitz and glamor for an economic simulator.

It does look purty, though. Yep. That there trailer sure does have a purty mouth.

I would like to point out that after giving this 'X-Rebirth game a whirl, I feel I have wasted my money. Complete trash.

So you tried it for 20 minutes and didn't like it? Your opinion just oozes credibility...

Oh come on, that is absolute garbage and you know it. I've been gaming for over 20 years mate and I have never encountered a gaming developer with more core integrity than CCP, but I've met so many different kinds of people that I can detect epic overreactions to such trivial little faults a mile away. Let me know when CCP start making day-one DLC that turns out to be required content for the game to function, when they start charging for expansions, and when they start advertising them and overhyping them on million-dollar television advertisements instead of spending that money on game content, let me know when they start releasing annual remakes of the same game with different map packs, then, maybe then, we can talk about integrity. Until then, just go crawl back into whatever cotton-wool padded first world basement you live in and skulk in the corner that you came from, or get some exposure to the real world.

I still say that as far as cinematic trailers are concerned, Star Wars the Old Republic are by far the best.

Sure the game is total crap and is an shining example of what is wrong with most MMO developed today but the trailers were EPIC :)

is the girl in this trailer the same as the girl in the navy slicer in eve origin trainer ?

I remember when CCP took great pride in showcasing trailers that used in-game graphics and footage. Long gone are the days CCP actually produces a trailer that even remotely resembles in-game experience.

Literally nothing from the trailer is possible in-game..

On a game related note.. I'm super pumped for the new structures.

That shot of the rack of sentries in the drone bay was pretty cool.

The way CCP seagull is going it won't be long before they start saying this about eve online.

It's unfortunate that Rubicon is so lacking that many people are choosing to spend money to check out X-Rebirth as opposed to buying PLEX in order to grab the latest content in Eve.

I agree, but forget X-Rebirth...

There is that other huge white balloon of an elephant that has gained, so far in excess of, $27+ million from what appears to be desperate people looking for something else. I wonder what? What is it they are looking for? What's worth $27+million and growing? A dream, a vision...?

Image, that instead of that white elephant, it had all been PLEXed into EVE! Imagine the possibilities... $27 million more and growing!

Heck, EVE already exists and has been around for just over a decade and with good reason!!! Make it even greater!

Sad to see so many negative views about where this game is purportedly heading... Sad to see massive 'player-based' funding/pledging going into something that, as yet, does not exist! Why..?
