Makes me want to log in and lose a ship each time I watch it.

Let's see...


No rendered people - check
No rendered scenes - check
No fake formations or "dragon fleet" - check
No stories that completely invalidate fleet battles "I was there" - check

The trailer is fantastic. Eve Never Fades remains the pinnicle and every trailer should aspire to be like it. This one comes fairly close.

Eve Never Fades
Revelations 1
Crucible


These are the 3 best that CCP has made.

In all fairness Loxy has made some amazing ******* videos before he joined CCP. All you newer players need to search yourube for any vids with a barcode and "Loxyrider," and you will see.

I was expecting a trailer fail when I noticed it wasn't released until a day after the expansion. It was okay, but I was really hoping for more Dominion like trailers, like every other trailer scene at least Dominion.

All warfare is based on deception and logistics. Battles and soldiers are secondary priorities.

But the Dragon Fleet was epic.

Burn them all!

See, it's a matter of taste.

Go back to the Dominion style trailers and you will see even more upset that it was not a gameplay video (myself included).

TBH it goes back to trailers like EVE never fades - and I would guess that's precisely the aim.

The very flashy trailers look shiney but I had been missing the "Actual gameplay footage" which used to be a hallmark of EVE Trailers.


My thoughts exactly.

EVE Never Fades was the first trailer I watched when I started playing EVE, not sure if I watched trailer first or started playing first but whatever. Point is it was /good/. The music was stellar and evocative, the range of visuals covering everything from new features (ships), actual combat and shots of market windows, stations and a great overview of the game.

This crucible expansion (while short) had the Never Fades soul in it, covering new features, shiny combat, and even a warp drive effect! What kind of trailer shows a warp drive effect! Crucible does Big smile

The music was just icing on the cake, of course I like Dominion as much as the next guy but this was proper EVE this time, not just theoretical EVE but actual EVE.

The trailer showed in game footage shot by players. As opposed to some cinematic sweep that we never see in game, it showed the game looking gorgeous (which attracts new people) and lists all the changes to bring back those who quit because of multiple reasons.


They went broadspectrum and delivered a taste of the game inside, not some FMV sequence that isn't accurate to gameplay.



And if you don't like the music, each to their own. I wub the dub.

When your gut instincts tell you something is wrong, trust them. When your heart tells you something is right, ignore it, check with your brain first. Accept nothing, challenge everything.

It was well done in a youtube/mtv rock video way.

For me personally, not my style. But it gets it's message across by being short and to the point with fast action, fast cuts and fast music.

If I were a new player checking it out for the first time, I would be interested in signing up for a trial. And at the end of the day, that is exactly what CCP is trying to do with it.

But give me a movie over a rock video next time. Keep us old folks happy.
