It was not good.
What did it for me was the pausing for dramatic effect >_< oh man, I need to play Mass Effect 3 so I can experience good voice acting I guess I'll have to settle for playing Dawn of War right now.

I don't like that sort of cinematic style, assumes responses that I would not give.
Additionally, the acting was stilted, strained and the enunciation felt forced. Ideas & stuff EVE - the game of sand castles, either building them or kicking them down. -á Status: Taking a break |

Forum Harlot wrote:I watched it again and managed to stay focused (as opposed to drift of out of boredom)... First and foremost, why is this actress so angry? I mean, it sounds like she's utterly pissed for some reason, especially when she says "it's always disorientating the first time" it sounds like I've done horrible. I'm just waiting for her to bring out a whip to punish me, but instead it just continues a rather awkward monologue.
Perhaps...its because she's jealous? She may be just a low-pay tech in a facility that panders to the 0.0000000000001% of the entire population who can ascend to functional immortality.
I thought it was an appropriate behavior of someone who processes these 'eggers' by the dozens everyday, knowing she can never join our ranks, and that the only thing keeping her from sabotaging the operation is the knowledge that she'll be fired and never work again.
I liked the video, whats needed before this would be a revamp of the original video showing Eve history (see link below, sorry having trouble embedding the link). Then this vid, followed by the CDIA orientation vid. These 3 need to be played in this sequence and featured as such in the new (and awesome) Eve website.

I don't know. I somehow get the feeling that nothing about pods is GÇ£low-payGÇ¥ GÇö capsuleers are too rich to care about the rounding errors that a normal person's paycheck amount to and demand perfect service, so why would the facilities skimp on pay and (by extension) quality?
Then again, it could just be GÇ£low-payGÇ¥ relatively speaking, which would cause a double effect: she's immensely well paid compared to the common man and has a high-status job, which yields the arrogance that comes with that, but she GÇ£onlyGÇ¥ makes three fortunes a day, compared to the lazy and malingering bosses and higher-ups who earn fourteen fortunes and all they're doing is skipping the office for a full day space-golf, which causes resentment for how under-appreciated her work is.

Ditto here.
You have to cut the ops team some slack, trolling the player base with made up downtime estimates is the only fun they get around here.-á(CCP Nullarbor) |

The premise was cool, but the actress was tragically born without a personality.
WELL PILOT WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR BEEP BOOP "TAUNT" WITH NO INFLECTION
Sort of reminded me of Queen Amidala's monotone CHANNTHALOR BLAH THE FEDERATION TREATY TREATY BLAH or those low budget live action Command and Conquer briefings, where said actors were CLEARLY doing a favor for the developers. |

I don't think CCP knows how to tell a story. You want to hook people with a trailer; You want to be intrigued to the point that they want to be a part of the action. I've seen some of that in previous EVE trailers, this one, not so much. Woman is cute, but, I want to see a storyline that makes me want to join in, I want to see cool battles that make me want to be part of the battle too.
EVE really is an epic game, but for some reason CCP has no idea how to talk about it. CCP: start a contest. Let your players create their own trailers, pick the best one, use it, gift the winner with a titan or something. Also, consider starting a web series; SAG new media contracts are pretty cheap, and there are a lot of good actors that play ;) |

Does the new video remind anyone else of the cutscenes from Dune 2000 & Emperor: battle for Dune? |

We should not rag on the actor so much. They have to do things the way they are told and look the way they are made up to look.
I would like to say I took a second look at the video, but it's excruciating to watch. The memory of "what are you waiting for" is fresh enough that if I see it a second time something is going to get broken.

At least this video has a new voice. Some of the other prior videos (incursion and dominion to start) had the same voice being recycled excessively. ***CSM Interstellar Debate - Mining Profession*** ***CSM Interstellar Debate - Combat PvP*** |

The only thing more awkward than the acting in this video is the collective social skills of the user base. - CQ isn't a refuge, it's a cage. |

I like the video , i think it isn't intented as a full trailer , but just a short trailer and/or introduction for new pilots logging in for the first time , together with the pilot introduction video
it is short enough and the last sentence was powerful enough for that
'what are you waiting for ' so this is permanence |

Now that you mention it, this would be prime material for a commercial spot.

I'm afraid that if I bash it, that means I would have put more effort into it than CCP did.
