Tobin Shalim Warped Mining Strip Mining Club	Posted - 2009.02.14 09:05:00 - [1] Edited by: Tobin Shalim on 14/02/2009 09:05:44 Edited by: Tobin Shalim on 14/02/2009 09:05:25 Yes, blatant ripoff of the background login screen but it's 4am and I'm out of original thoughts. Took the intro video, encoded into xvid video format, and uploaded to eve-files. Link: http://dl.eve-files.com/media/0902/Apocrypha_intro.avi Enjoy. p.s. The video quality is not my doing, that's how it comes from the original file. Looks sweet CCP, good job and give your art guys a beer.

Tyr Vaantau Amarr Disorder.	Posted - 2009.02.14 09:29:00 - [4] I like it but I think the old one was cool too...
Destination SkillQueue Are We There Yet	Posted - 2009.02.14 09:29:00 - [5] I think it is a nice addition to the game. New players need to be hit on the head with this kind of direct and blunt message. You are a special breed of man, but there are thousands like you who you will have to compete with. It also emphasizes, that you need to be active and take risks, if you want to achieve things in the game. It's has less(almost none) backstory then the previous one, but prepares you better for the universe you are actually going to be playing in.
Meiyang Lee Gallente Azteca Transportation Unlimited Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2009.02.14 09:31:00 - [6] Edited by: Meiyang Lee on 14/02/2009 09:31:02 Sums up EVE fairly well in my opinion, I like it. The old intro was very nice too, but this does tell you a bit about the game you're getting into which is something the old one did not.
jam6549 Paladines	Posted - 2009.02.14 09:32:00 - [7] didnt like it, previous was far far better imo!
Tyr Vaantau Amarr Disorder.	Posted - 2009.02.14 09:46:00 - [8] The music was nice too, kinda reminds me of Blade Runner.

Zeba Minmatar Honourable East India Trading Company	Posted - 2009.02.14 10:06:00 - [10] Nice intro and introduces you to the core elements of eve success right at the start. The ending however seems a bit too abrupt. Maybe another line or two of dialog with a harder ending phrase? Dare to be bold pilot. Forge your own path to greatness. 'Slow empahsis on these last three words' Your. Destiny.. Awaits... 'eyeball/wormhole finally fades out' Yay! Got meh sig back! ♥ Weatherman

Arthur Frayn V.O.F.L IRON CORE H E L I C O N	Posted - 2009.02.14 10:08:00 - [11] Absolutely no hints of things to come. Same old "You're playing a kickass game. Go you!" pontification. -- Eventus stultorum magister.
Irida Mershkov Gallente Noir.	Posted - 2009.02.14 10:27:00 - [12] Edited by: Irida Mershkov on 14/02/2009 10:28:43 Edit: Doh, thought it said trailer, not introduction, in that case, I like it actually, I just hope you have an option of watching a backstory of all of the races like in the first intro. that video was really awesome the first time I booted up EVE.
Sheriff Jones Amarr Clinical Experiment	Posted - 2009.02.14 10:34:00 - [13] Hihi, haha....i love it, but i also love that cough PEople say WOW is crap because "everyone is a hero, not in EVE!"...yeah..no...we're just demigods and immortals ANyhoo, two thumbs up, very nice, darker, more fitting. Could've used more battle hectic, but, then again we all know EVE battles are hardly "races".
Triss S'Jet Gallente	Posted - 2009.02.14 11:18:00 - [14] The new intro is meh... I expected some awesome 30 second action to kick in at the end, intro should be 30 action packed seconds longer! Actually I would like to see both old and new movies as one huge intro, first one telling how it all began, and the second showing how it all looks now, and what paths you can choose.
Doctor Penguin Amarr Shadow Command Tenth Legion	Posted - 2009.02.14 11:24:00 - [15] I think that it would have been better to end with a podding. But of course, everything has it's risks... Arrrrrrghhhh! Fadeout
Kira Novia	Posted - 2009.02.14 11:33:00 - [16] Personally, this intro-movie sucks compared to the old one. At least the old one had a storyline to it. This, this one sucks.
Grek Forto THE IRIS United Freemen Alliance	Posted - 2009.02.14 12:17:00 - [17] Though it was kinda nice it doesn't compare to the old one...
Amerilia	Posted - 2009.02.14 12:17:00 - [18] Hopefully they make it possible to view both intros. Otherwise the newbies will have even less clues about the backstory.
lofty29 Aliastra	Posted - 2009.02.14 12:19:00 - [19] Originally by: Kira Novia Personally, this intro-movie sucks compared to the old one. At least the old one had a storyline to it. This, this one sucks. But it gives you the basis of what the game is actually about, unlike the old one which was obviously just an afterthought. 族---族 Latest Video : Relentless
HankMurphy Minmatar Pelennor Enterprises	Posted - 2009.02.14 12:20:00 - [20] its a nice clip. but not really 'intro' material to a game like the last one i think if someone were to click 'create' on a new character this would be an appropriate video before they enter station view with ship and aurora the old video is much more suitable for game intro ---------- "This is Chopper Dave's made for TV movie, Blades Of Vengeance. See, he's a chopper pilot by day, but by night he fights crime as a werewolf... YEAH!"

Norian Lonark Gallente Black Thorne Corporation Black Thorne Alliance	Posted - 2009.02.14 14:19:00 - [21] As a video its ok, but as an intro, I liked the old one better.
Ottersmacker 24th Imperial Crusade	Posted - 2009.02.14 14:44:00 - [22] Originally by: HankMurphy i think if someone were to click 'create' on a new character this would be an appropriate video before they enter station view this :) although the strange (yet symbolically compelling) selection of shots that go with the narration are somewhat questionable (a rifter symbolizes power, the amarr are shown as antagonists and the drake embodies.. immortality?)
AkRoYeR Amarr	Posted - 2009.02.14 14:47:00 - [23] Well...mah..for an expansion meant to bring in more new players it seems rather uninformative.
Genya Arikaido	Posted - 2009.02.14 14:49:00 - [24] OMG, this new intro is just crap. Where'd the backstory go? Just FAIL, CCP. FAIL. Help me move to Iceland!
Zeba Minmatar Honourable East India Trading Company	Posted - 2009.02.14 14:50:00 - [25] Edited by: Zeba on 14/02/2009 14:50:56 Originally by: Ottersmacker Originally by: HankMurphy i think if someone were to click 'create' on a new character this would be an appropriate video before they enter station view this :) although the strange (yet symbolically compelling) selection of shots that go with the narration are somewhat questionable (a rifter symbolizes power, the amarr are shown as antagonists and the drake embodies.. immortality?) Heh, right as it gets to the part talking about patience the scene shows a mining yield chart and Domi moast probably fitted out for a 0.0 mining op. Yay! Got meh sig back! ♥ Weatherman
Nikita Alterana Gallente The-Kissaki	Posted - 2009.02.14 15:01:00 - [26] Edited by: Nikita Alterana on 14/02/2009 15:02:17 constructive feedback for CCP: things I liked: the inital transition from the eye to the planet was very pretty the message was direct, blunt, and summed up the game the intro footage was nice Things I disliked: no backstory the whole eye thing was a bit meh, it was alright at first, but then you went BACK to it at the end. most of the footage didn't really flow, I've seen player videos, namely this one where the videos flow much better just lacks the 'epicness' of the previous intro removes the best line in the intro: "We have a destiny to meet, and the courage of our pilots will show us the path, on the strength of your wings the fate of empires and the hopes of worlds will be decided. Take control of the destiny that is rightfully yours." Suggestions: First off, fix the transitions in the intro, they were pretty bad compared to the other videos/trailers, they just don't flow second, scrap the eye on the end, replace it with the galactic zoom to the eve logo seen in the empress's coronation video third, start with the history, making the eye fade into a view of the Earth from space, then run through an upgraded, and enhanced version of the history, the history is VERY important, it sets the tone for the game, it orients players to the various factions and parts of the world, and it establishes the eve universe as a whole. YOU CANNOT TAKE IT OUT. fourth, transition directy into the existing new stuff, telling pilots what to do, finishing ona slower more epic galactic zoom image to the eve logo, while aura is saying "Be bold pilot, take control of your destiny, take control of your future, on the strength of your wings the fate of empires and the hopes of worlds will be decided." at that point the screen abruptly goes black and aura says finally. "Now wake up pilot." __________________________________________________ I was Amarr before they were the FOTM and I'll be Amarr after it! I'm also training Minmatar Capitals! And I eat Lions!
4rc4ng3L Gallente C R Y O	Posted - 2009.02.14 15:03:00 - [27] Man, that looks like SUCH a cool game :p ------------------------------------------ - To Jumanji, or not to Jumanji...... -
AlleyKat Gallente Sharks With Frickin' Laser Beams	Posted - 2009.02.14 15:04:00 - [28] I hate it. Where's the creativity? Where's the forethought? Why was this created in such a rush? On a side note, the quality of the playback is dreadful - and I'm not talking about the youtube upload, I'm talking when you watch it through the eve client - it's really poor and pixelated. I have no clues what codecs you can and can't use for the intro, but this is shockingly terrible and will not stand up to scrutiny. Poor effort all round. Hold your heads in shame. AK EVE-ONLINE VIDEO-MAKING TUTORIALS
Lost Hamster Serenity and Hungarian Operational Team	Posted - 2009.02.14 15:06:00 - [29] Hmm.. the original video is much better. This movie is good for a trailer, but definitely not as an intro. The original intro really told you what is the background for this game. And this? Nothing.. And the quality? Just crap. CCP please put back the original intro! ps: and forget bink video, or if you want to keep it, then triple the video size!
Kinuko	Posted - 2009.02.14 15:10:00 - [30] New intro movie is extremely bad, hopefully they will return back to original one. Voice was trying to be dramatic but simply it came out to be very cheesy. Also I really didn't like writing, it was also cheesy. Original one had more sci-fi feeling to it also both voice and writing was quite good. The new one reminds me of NGE SWG movies about iconic classes, very cheesy and created for very young players =(.
