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.

Well. To put it this way. If you had the chance to make or break hundreds of millions of isk if not more as one of the first to find these sites (granted if you market trade well or WH run correctly etc blah blah a hundo or two is just pocket change but there are many out there that still dabble in the tens and hundreds as regular isk flow in the wallet) wouldn't you have an adrenaline rush kick in a bit?

Hell, the thought of losing an expensive ship in game at all to another player freaks people out sometimes and even in an intense PVP situation i, personally, still get an adrenaline kick at times.

Even in a game people get adrenaline rushes and emotional outbursts.

Just because you're immortal doesn't mean you're not human with human actions and reflexes. It just means you're willing to risk it to achieve something normal mortals wouldn't at risk of death. After that explosion (and apparently podding?) you'd wake up in your medbay pissed the hell off right?



As to the trailer vs expansion, the only thing i look foward to is mobile on grid cyno jammers and new faction ships if i ever choose to train amarr and leave the rust bucket race. Although the smoother UI would be excellent.

Then again, it's a trailer designed to draw attention. Even looking outside in to the EVE Universe the trailer showing a developing story + action pewpew will stick a few and have more try it.

While the trailer did have its typical trailer silliness (come on, all trailers have some BS to them. I mean, take a look at the epic Skyrim one and then look up the vids with attacking chickens or rolling cabbages from a mountain.) it was also rather awesome.

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.

The actual expansion has more stuff in it, they're just demonstrating the new ships and ghost sites since they're the focal point of the story. It also has the CONCORD guy, Mr. Prick, I really hope at some point in EVE's history we'll get to show him that he's not really in the best position to 'enforce compliance'. Yulai by 2014! Nobody tells us what to do, nooobooody!!!Smile

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.

Here, sanity... niiiice sanity, come to daddy... okay, that's a good sanity... THWONK! GOT the bastard.

It would make a lot more of sense if they spent 2 seconds of running time zooming into the ship... the pod... the vase inside the pod... the capusleer's head... fade to black to suggest you're entering the pilot's mind... then display the artistic license HUD bit.

Because, if even seasoned players with some lore background can be fooled to think that the pilots merely sit in a glorified cockpit, what will think someone who's never heard of the hydrostatic capsule?

(Let alone, what may think a new player who has seen the trailer, creates his first character in pure awe, loads the CQ and walks to the Door to stretch his newly acquired legs...)

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.

I like the trailer, as I liked the other ones... it hasn't much to do with game, but it's nice. Blink

AFAIK they had those damage models working, however they were extremely resource heavy. They were working on reducing that and making it usable ingame, but this was probably a couple of years ago.

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

^this. It's like, common knowledge guys, just how far do you plan on embarrassing the EVE playerbase?

There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency.

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 :)

Okay, so for some reason the opera browser insists on 360p being the only option,
while Internet Explorer 11 determines that to be a lie.

... Really?

The Trailer I watched was in 1080p. Tho Youtube foced me to click twice before I got the good resolution, I was properly enraged.

EDIT: Dang, somebody Falcon beat me to it... Shouldn't have pesky work let me distract from importand GD duty. Ugh

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Nope. I use only Opera and the trailer works fine on 1080p. Must be something wrong on your side.

The option is there, but youtube gets very unhappy if you try to actually access the file… 720 is available as normal, though. P
