yup.

Put the lore back in, though... Seriously.

Yes, all they need to do is quickly mention what the 4 factions are and it will be perfect.

Maybe this, yes, but on the other hand, the empires get an introduction in the character creation section — spreading the infodump has its own merits.

Of course yes. And of course it needs 15 more seconds explaining how amarrians used to love matarrs.

Yes!

This video introduces storyline again to EVE universe. Current "storyline intro" is filled with weird mambo jambo.

Agreed. With a few sprinkles of lore on top it'd be perfect.

Make it so.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

I agree on it but few things peek me out, I'll copy pasta it from elsewhere;

1 ) Why isn't the capsuleer floating around in ectoplasm hooked up with tubes floating in a pod? It seems like she's just sitting there like a fighter pilot.

2) Where is Caroline Dalton? (Aura)

3) Explaining who the 4 nations are could be a bit better.

That's about it, trailer was great though.

Simple: It's a trailer, a summary, a general intro, not a comprehensive encyclopedia. New players will get more info as they start to dive into the game.

The old intro really helped set the mindset for starring the game, the current into is terribly bland.

The origins trailer is like the original intro turned to 11, so yes it would make a much better intro.

In hindsight my post should have had more psssshhhh

It wasn't really explaning who what or what the 4 races are, and the trailer information is inconsistant in what capsuleers are according to the fluff, they can explain it without making it too long, although length isn't really a problem for me.

@CCP Sisyphus

Also bring back Caroline Dalton! (Same women who did the intros before)

Eh it doesn't TALK about the races, but it does a good job visually conveying them in a short span of time. Add to that the racial intro screens at character creation and it covers it nicely. I think in terms of pacing this way is better. I mean I wouldn't object to more info, but this new intro flows NICELY.
