Certainly a part I enjoyed seeing in action quite a bit. Shocked

Personally, I didn't find it anywhere as impressive as some of the older trailers (Butterfly Effect, Dominion, ...) Sad They show much better what EVE is about. The Rubicon one is just eye candy, and not that good at that. The purpose of older trailers was to attract more people (new and unsubscribed) to EVE. This one is just a showoff.

However, I get an eerie feeling that this is just a prelude to something big. I bet that the blueprints downloaded by the scanning ship are a bit of a spoiler for things to come.

Really cool trailer, much better than Odyssey's/Retribution; really wants me to play this game.

Sad thing is though, I can't fly my spaceship through big space structures, banking and turning to evade incoming fire or as posted above, see my drone bay up close. Make that an expansion please?

Why are they not bubbling pod goo thru their nostrils? Are there some kind of new implants that we don't know yet? Similar to the DUST players have?

Ignoring the connection to the game, that trailer is a work of art in itself. Taking the game into account, it's even better. The conceptualization of how drones are deployed is beautiful, even if it may never be something we see. Though personally I find the drone bays in our ships much too small to make sentry drones so expendable. The trailer would lead one to believe that they are as cheap and plentiful as ammo.

Seems a lot like pirate ships won't be the only ones we'll have to contend with at ghost sites. The empires are pretty fidgety as well it would appear.

The graphics/VFX/animation team did a great job.

Damn, nice trailer! Really gets the whole 'screw the empires' vibe going Big smile

But yeah, what happened to our beloved pod goo? Is Walking in Ships a thing in development now? Huh? HUH?! Shocked (Of course it isn't, don't be silly...)

Whilst I would not disagree that it was a very well made video.. I still much prefer trailers which are made using actually in game footage, these for me have a much bigger impact.

As a person watching a trailer with the out look of maybe trying Eve, Trailers such as Crucible have a lot more impact as that is what you get when you play unlike this latest trailer where you will nothing like it when playing.

I kind of cringed when I saw the characters talk. What happened? Where is the detail in the facial expressions and lip syncing? This feels like it could have just been...better. Previous videos have always had such a level of detail that it would just draw you in and you would think..."They could make a movie out of this!" I did not feel that way this time. Am I the only one?

By the way, this is the second time the girl in the trailer gets her ass blown up (remember the 10 year anniversary trailer where she died in a frigate?). Can we make this a running gag in all trailers to come please? Pirate

True. It would be pretty amazing if we had some of the things portrayed in the video. The massive spaceports/cities that you could fly around and all that.
