I seem to have missed the subtle notation on screen that this video was made with in game footage like many of the old, old videos...

It's a trailer lol.

You don't like anything, do you?

Many of the older Eve trailers were just sooo much better in terms of "goosebumps" though. CCP used to have some of the best trailers around tbh. This one seems to be standard trailer material (though not bad by any measure), but maybe I'm just bitter.


The only Trailer that gave me that goosebumpy feeling was (I think) Revelations II. The part at the End where the narrator said "we are the enemies of the gods."

That was awesome. Smile

This one was cool tho, I really liked it. Big smile

I love this trailer. In fact, I would argue it's their best yet, bar none. No silly narration VO like Retribution and Odyssey, and it is quite suspenseful, ending in a scene that makes me wonder... will these Ghost exploration sites actually explode and pod people? Because I can't wait for the forum tears on that one if that's the case.


Doubt it. (Though a two-stage explosion that first took your ship, then podded you if you didn't get out right quick, would indeed flood the forums in tears.) It's just shorthand for "the explosions are really violent." They don't bother illustrating pods for the same reason they don't bother explaining that ships have shields *and* armor *and* hull. The important thing is that the pirates are dangerous and failure to hack the tower has serious consequences.

After all, the new intro movie for EVE implies that Executioners are shield-tanked.


Isn't everything shield tanked these days...

Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction...

Im disappointed in general about trailer, however Rubicon got awesome features.

VIsual aspect like combat- 3d models- structures in space 9/10
Carbon character acting in Matrix style, where people talk and move hands near hologram display, while this look modern its cheap and got low impact - 5/10
Message at end to new players- "play now" ruined whole trailer for me.

Come on, here realy needs to say "play now"

A good trailer pull people to game without these words.

If it bleed we can kill it.

Yes. And it's the same worried-empire-guy.

That's just you extrapolating from the fanfest vision presentation. They don't really look like anything, and are supposed to be of deployables and implants if anything. Blink

Yes probably, hype train is on my brain. But still, the first blueprint really looks like a stargate body ( all circle and glowing and ****), and the second what goes around it. It would make sense in lore too: pirates want to construct stargate to **** empires up.

Anyway,nice trailer.

Nope, they'd just try to tax the hell out of them and quarantine everyone who tries to go back to earh for at least 2 years just so nobody ever tries to return.

And maybe they'd even find a way to shoot all those unwanted criminals, heinous music downloaders amd pedophiles to mars.

Takes a lot of time and money to design new high-quality character models. Especially if they're only to be used for several seconds of one video.

It is sad that the only place where we will see avatar action for the next ten years will be in the trailers.

How about we go back to the simple "This trailer use in-game footage" until a time when avatar gameplay will be introduced properly?

Rubicon trailer would've been more fitting for black prophecy than eve. Last couple of trailers have been really bad, I was barely able to make myself watch oddysey trailer and this one wasn't much better. I might just be bitter but this is quite a step down from the trailers of old.

CCP Falcon...

If i had a message to the character animation team or whoever
is responsible for the facial expressions and display of personality
of virtual characters, would you relay it to them?

I'm on phone now, which makes it a PITA and i'd be writing it later on on my notebook.

It's not your typical bullshit people write, but actually about realism of facial expressions
and how people display their personality through them. As people pick this up subconsciously,
having more realistic virtual characters leads to a far more satisfying experience.

I know my ****, let me help improve yours. I'm not saying i'm a modeller or animator, btw.
I am as much not an animator as your animators aren't ... whatever i do.


Cheers.

I remember when they started doing live-action cinematic trailers for Halo, but I don't remember players complaining that the game looked nothing like that... oh, that's right, because they were cinematic trailers, and you're not supposed to expect anything from them except a giddy sense of anticipation.


EVE for some reason attracts a special breed of complainer lol. Everything must be perfect and fit their particular notion.

Special, but not unique I should say, the EVE forum community reminds me greatly of the Battletech/Mechwarrior (and no Mechwarrior online) community as well as a few other niche game/IP communities.

So the CONCORD guy is like 'Stay the f* out, there will be consequences.' But the only consequences are the pirates' response, there are no consequences from the empires.

If you really are aiming to sow dissension between capsuleers and the empires, you should grant a suspect flag to all capsuleers on grid when a ghost site explodes in empire space. CONCORD's sensor arrays (presumably the same ones that keep Local running) would notice the energy anomaly and punish the capsuleer for disobeying the mandate.


You missed the ending to this trailer that was strangely cut from the final edit. After the shot of the capsuleer woman's corpse, you see a visualization of data travelling through multiple fluid routers until it reaches a medical facility. Pan to a clone of the woman that lies still on a medical table. Then pan to a nearby computer terminal that reads:


"Capsuleer clone animation sequence started.

Neural scan data successfully received.

Neural scan data input sequence.... interrupted.

Capsuleer clone animation sequence aborted."


Pan down to a hand at the keyboard, then up to the Concord official's face.

He turns and walks out.

As if that ever happened.
Never jn the history of mankind has marketing failed to deliver to the expectations it created.
Never ever has marketing been tied to psychogy and tricked people into believing stuff
that's neither there or going to happen and never ever was it the whole point of marketing
to make people buy stuff.

Obviously it's all not just a shell. People aren't being manipulated. Marketing never does that.
Marketing also doesn't fund psychologists or neurologists to learn how to even better manipulate
the people into believing what marketing wants them to believe and

Always. Absolutely always people notice the manipulation attempts that turn the into mindless zombies
who just parrot whatever the hype wants them to believe.

And obviously i have no clue about this at all.

Eve-O is about spaceships. Except when making promotional trailers.

Why do I even bother...


Well, nice piece of work anyhow.

It's impressive in terms of cinematics, and how it talks about some of the main points of this new expansion: capsuleers breaking from the empires, Ghost Sites, SoE faction ships.

Although I can't ignore others' comments about the older trailers being... kind of... better. Not saying this one is bad at all, but the other ones somehow catched the spirit of EVE more precisely: the sandbox, the enormous universe, the somehow 'dark sci-fi' it is, the cold and uncaring vacuum of space. These new trailers are very refreshing, but I'd like to see a slight comeback to the old days in a future trailer; somehow lees people and more technology and space.
