Archadam The Scope	Posted - 2009.02.15 05:58:00 - [61] This vid kicks the ********** out of the EVE official vids in my anti-humble opinion. Linky... I don't care about the corp/alliance but awesome vid...
Qordel Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2009.02.15 06:14:00 - [62] Originally by: Archadam This vid kicks the ******** out of the EVE official vids in my anti-humble opinion. Linky... I don't care about the corp/alliance but awesome vid... I just watched the new one from CCP and have to say that while it's kind of nice, it is hardly an intro. It didn't introduce anything. It showed some slow moving ships with very little action going on and mentioned how you can be a fighter or business person or corp leader, etc... And that's it. Nothing about races or factions or back story or slavery or anything. Oh and mentioning that we're immortal (which I have still never figured out - if you're immortal, how many centuries are you going to run a business or go around shooting people before you're bored off your **ing ass and decide none of it is worth your time? And if you put all your demi-god powers into business, why would a ship and a capsule still be your primary focus of life?). It isn't a terrible effort, but if CCP is not going to bother really telling any story, then why not just package up one of the other fantastic videos players have made recently and put a few of them out, instead? They'd certainly get the blood pumping and tell just as much (or more) of the damn story. --
Archadam The Scope	Posted - 2009.02.15 06:25:00 - [63] Indeed..there's the measured onslaught of the PL, wanton killings by BOZO, the annhilation of roids by macro'ers, and the bloodbath that's the present Delve, which the vids seem to miss =P Ofc, I'm just hoping to see these guys make amazing vids themselves as the fight rages on. I can't imagine an attractive vid focusing on the dude in his Mach mining ice....mining ice....mining ice..... Or even a gate camp at, say, PF-346, waiting...waiting....waiting...waiting...OH **** IT'S A IBIS ATTACK ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111
Laszlo Ozawa	Posted - 2009.02.15 06:27:00 - [64] Edited by: Laszlo Ozawa on 15/02/2009 06:27:49 the new intro is an uninspiring bit of muck, hastily thrown together from bits and pieces of expansion trailers released over the past year. it feels disjointed, and gives very little idea as to the setting or the recent history of the universe the players inhabit. simply put, it doesn't do the game the slightest bit of justice.

Not to mention, doesn't two minutes seem to be rather short? It's a huge MMO with a world and system more complex than any other out there and the entire introduction is about as long as a commercial? Why are they so afraid to put a ten minute video out there that includes some important background info and still has time to tease you with some epic scale and battles and action? The intro should be much more substantial and then on top of that there should be more regular content put out in that format rather than merely a 60 second trailer for each pending expansion. --

Seriously, this is one game with much depth and outrageousness that other MMOs would never dream of. ;) (Points to carcass of BOB) There's the market wars, and gate camps, and empire wars, as well as RP drama. Many many layers to EVE that needs to be expressed to do this game any justice.
Burukt Vri'ra Locus Industries	Posted - 2009.02.15 06:48:00 - [67] Cool. I think it's great up until the "dare to be bold, pilot." I think it could've used some passing reference to the years of capsuleer / demi-god existence, but otherwise gets the point across. --- Burukt "The Eh Team" Vri'ra Locus Industries Amarr Militia Got shot down by a Moros, loved every second
Laszlo Ozawa	Posted - 2009.02.15 07:12:00 - [68] first of all, cue this piece of music. pretty decent for narrating history of the capsuleer age in summary. contemplations on human nature and conflict transposed over vast capital ship graveyards with scorched insignias of old alliances visible on their hulls. eve is ..a decidedly dystopian setting, permeated with pathos, despair and an oppressing dread of the unknown.. and this must be represented somehow ..

Archadam The Scope	Posted - 2009.02.15 09:27:00 - [70] Bottom line: CCP can do far better to interest non-EVE players that happen to see a vid from the game. That's that. Got my friend that made me bleed from martial arts to join :D Us Japs get a bad rap from the 'truth' out there in the West. Speaking of which, seems to be whispered out there, about much of my Brothers in arms' like my Japs, hated, but benevolent in Asia.

Miyamoto Uroki Caldari Katsu Response Unit	Posted - 2009.02.15 09:48:00 - [71] Originally by: Lost Hamster 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.. True. CCP, where did the story go? We dont want epeen ego pushing, I as a new player wanted to know where we came from, what happened with the Eve Gate etc. Give us back a modified old intro.
Omu Negru Caldari Ethereal Dawn	Posted - 2009.02.15 09:53:00 - [72] This intro is crap. "you are the best" "but you are not alone" blablabla blablabla. stupid clishe no imagination copyed images from older trailers. no story no content, no nothing. Im disappointed.
Math'ra Hiede Amarr Vigilia Valeria Expeditionary Forces	Posted - 2009.02.15 10:20:00 - [73] I don't like this new intro. It gives you the wrong Idea, it says everyone is special and some sort of god. And I don't think that fits with the EVE I know. If you want to be a god, go work. Your not born into the role of demi-god immortal being. meh, decent visuals, but the idea it portrays is something I don't like
AlleyKat Gallente Sharks With Frickin' Laser Beams	Posted - 2009.02.15 10:27:00 - [74] Originally by: Kyoko Sakoda I believe this has to do with Bink resampling for your screen resolution which is larger than the 720p video. It might be using nearest-neighbor interpolation which gives you the blocky visual and generally poor quality. No, I downloaded RAD Video tools and played the file directly from the client directory into it's own Window @ 1280x720, it's still dreadful quality. AK EVE-ONLINE VIDEO-MAKING TUTORIALS
Archadam The Scope	Posted - 2009.02.15 10:30:00 - [75] Originally by: Kyoko Sakoda Originally by: AlleyKat 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 believe this has to do with Bink resampling for your screen resolution which is larger than the 720p video. It might be using nearest-neighbor interpolation which gives you the blocky visual and generally poor quality. Kyoko san great to see you around. No, we've never met. However, I utterly admire your work. -Arch. --- Us Japs get a bad rap from the 'truth' out there in the West.

Karentaki Gallente Oberon Incorporated Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2009.02.15 10:31:00 - [76] Yeah, I have to agree, this video isn't very good. As other people have said, CCP should just go all out and make a 10 minute video giving the full backstory and some information about the world players are entering. In fact, even the old intro with new graphics and some clips of big alliance battles would be great. Quote: EVE is like a sandbox with landmines. Deal with it.
Rellik B00n	Posted - 2009.02.15 10:32:00 - [77] Yes. Im sure the many thousands of players that like me go: hits connect entering game..... "Oh ffs intro movie ;/" hits left mouse/right mouse/escape key get me to the game already! The only videos Ive sat and watched since i started playing PC games (on a 386 ) are the ones that you cant quit out of, and even then i tend to use the opportunity to get some nicotine/a drink. get over it

In fact, even the old intro with new graphics and some clips of big alliance battles would be great. Dead Space put out an entire full length animated movie covering all of the events leading up to where the videogame begins. It's not even an MMO. And they did this before the game had been released and reached a level of significant popularity and respect. Imagine how much more value something with that level of detail and effort would have in an MMO like this where it would be relevant not merely for one launch of one game, but for the duration of EVE-Online, period (unless they significantly change the back story some day). And if major changes occur, they can add to it with smaller episodes. Not saying it should be animated (not like the R-rated Dead Space was at least), but it could be done with CGI like anything else. And since Ambulation is going to be such a big deal, how about when they talk about slavory or the empress or something, we actually SEE these people? We may not be able to set foot on planets or walk around stations now, but surely the media they present the story in outside of the game itself can contain more than just ships representing these headless voices in EVE's history. --

Seriously though, just because there are people out there who play a game like Braid and say "whoop! whoop! there ain't no point ta dis game! whoop whoop! it's just crazay and ****!" doesn't mean everyone strips the meaning and depth out of every experience. Some people like role playing. Some like knowing the story behind the game. Some like to wach movies all the way through or read a book all the way through. Nothing is stopping people like you from going all brainless and twitchy the moment anything that doesn't involve pulling a trigger comes on screen. --

Nothing is stopping people like you from going all brainless and twitchy the moment anything that doesn't involve pulling a trigger comes on screen. Simple, make the backstory part of the intro optional to watch, you can start it up in the client or something, if they're interested in the backstory, they can look for it, the new intro summarizes to the the player basically what they can do in the game, without making them read a guide.

An Anarchyyt Gallente Battlestars GoonSwarm	Posted - 2009.02.15 18:11:00 - [81] I'd like to point out this video should actually be the intro. Anything else is unacceptable. Originally by: CCP Wrangler Second, a gentile is a non jewish person
