Alot has happened since it was made... It really doesnt cover what EVE is at al. Also it is terrible anyway.

I still prefer the original one the depicts the earliest days of EVE.

Original was the best one \o/
The current one is just "Here, you can do what you like but there are others who can do that too, go shoot stuff."

Remake the original with the new art assets and at a higher resolution.

How are you supposed to figure out what the hell's going on without an intro movie like the first one?

"Humans pwned Earth, went into space, found a giant wormhole, flew through, colonized the space beyond (dubbing it "New Eden), built huge infrastructures based on a route back to Earth, EVE Gate collapsed, humans royally screwed, declined into despair and near-extinction, rose from the ashes with four major empires. Oh, and you're a capsuleer, so you're basically a god. HAVE FUN!"

It explained everything we needed to know (though I'm sure I missed a few details P).

What it misses follows:

Factional warfare!
Sansha incursions!
New wormholes! - sleepers
Anything jovian!
Any sort of info on how capsuleers have affected the game so far!!
Drones/drone region opening
Planetary interaction
Dust514

These are just SOME of some major storyline changes thatcare left totally unmentioned. It is very frustrating that if u want to know any real history about the game u have to ask the few very old players who probably cant remember
!

Yes i am. Also opinion and nostalgia change the facts. As it is the intro only covers half of eves history if that!

I enjoy the current voice over, but I would also love to see more high detailed internet spacehips.

My favourite EVE videos have all been unofficial ones, like Day of Darkness II, Clear Skies and the RnK insights tbh. The CCP 'fluff' videos were okay but never represented the reality of what happened in the game and were mostly just lying advertisements.

That would make the intro movie 14 hours long.

The old intro movie was good because it… you know… introduced you to the world. It explained where it's all coming from. The current movie just says “oh hai, yer' awesome” without any kind of introduction. All of the above could probably be made into nice historical archive movies, but it's far too in-depth and inside-baseball to be a good introduction.

…maybe if CCP plugged flash back into the IGB and gave it a very strict predefined list of URL where it would activate and then pointed it at their youtube feed.

The current intro video sucks. I would much rather see the original one revamped with a little touch up from the art department. They seem to be doing all the heavy lifting for CCP these days. (<3 missiles)

While we're on the subject, rehire Stevie Ward for some voice overs. She could even just do a voice over for a two hour long mining operation and it would end up being awesome.
