EVE General Discussion

I'd like to see ads that take a real world perspective of ingame events e.g;

Visual:
Woman in office being shouted at.

Voiceover:
"In trouble for being a bastard to your office mates again?"

Fade to scene:

Office desk & PC Mac in flames, girly man crying.

Voiceover:
"You're doing it wrong!"

Scene shuffle:
Stuffs blowing up *tears*

Voiceover:
Eve-online blahblahblah

that pretty much sums it up

Are you serious? A Gila. A GILA! Why not just put a Celetis or a Griffin instead, just put all the ugly ships, nobody cares about the cool looking ships like Abaddon's or Scorpions

Terrible dice is terrible. Also, I can't imagine why you have a 20 side dice in your house

Id like to see a bunch of nerdy guys talk about and show off their expensive pants.

ok ok ill bite and pitch another idea.


Ok going from pvp and the tears that come from it.


Picture a low sec system say Amamake.

All the sudden you see a ship fly by weapons a blazing explosions damage and stuff going on.

Then one of the ships blows up and you see the winner scram the pod and demand a ransom from the pod.

Insert generic whine and rant about cheating and how the person that won lives in their moms basement etc.

Cue coms static and zoom into the ship that won the fight and is issuing the ransom. So see a hot eve female drinking a bottle of quafe ultra.

*transition similar to eve is real but in reverse character to real life person*

Now you see a real woman that looks like her avatar drinking a bottle of booze and has a head set on.

She say over eve voice, and to kind of quote the famous Mynxee from an interview done years ago.
CRY MORE! Not only did you get your ass kicked, you got your ass kicked by a girl.

Then transition back to the in game avatar zoom out of the ship back to the pod to watch it get blown up into goo with a nice corpse flying around.

*sigh*

Not even by a long shot Dorian. Off the top of my head the FIFA world cup finals and the opening and closing ceremonies of the summer Olympics are far more widely viewed (by nearly an order of magnitude!) than the superbowl. I'd not be surprised if the RWC started to get close to the mark too - heaven knows things are getting interesting.


In any case - for the commercial here is an idea:


A shot from the captain's quarters, of a toon watching on that big screen we got there - add boobs and quafe to the image. Put in a fool in a Fedo costume for laughs. On the side of the screen all kinds of warnings are flashing about.

Lasts five seconds toon switches on comms and simply states - engage.

Shifts over to suicidal destruction of epic proportions on the ice fields of EVE. Concord overwhelmed, macks blown up all over the place. Cursing and howling. Lots of tears flowing.

Back to the CQ - now we are seeing figures of profit as value of ICE sky rockets. Charts and all that jazz. Guy gets up to meet up with.

Closing statement - Something canny about EVE being your universe, your sandbox, yours to manipulate and make off what you will.


Inspired by real events too :p

@ cyniac - LOL man that's so true about eve.

To the ones saying a video gamer commercial during a football game is a bad idea, Cataclysm had a commercial during the Cowboys vs Vikings game last year. And Blizzard appears to be doing rather well for themselves.

On the topic of the commercial content:
Commercial starts off with a dead capsuleer floating in space, much like one of the pevious trailers. Gun fire all around it as the camera slowly zooms out to reveal a huge battle between Mini and Amarr ships. The whole time, Gary Jules' redition of Mad World is playing.

Then slow fade into the EVE logo: Slogan.

Yes to this ^^ (are you in advertising?)
Slogan idea : Whatever Play you call, Eve has it.
