I guess it's a sign of... something, when a MMO developer no longer sells its game nor its lore in its advertising.

This said, maybe someone really wants that EVE TV show. Having the actors submerged in pod goo and experiencing a interface directly cast on their brains could probe both expensive and not very video-able. It's easier and cheaper if they just breathe air and see pwetty lightz in front of them in a ordinary HUD.

Of course, that beheads the lore, splits its craneum in half, removes the brains with a fork, poops in the empy craneum, staples the halves together again and plays football with it... but who cares? The hydrostatic pod and its neural interface only are a piece of lore 10 years old. And they stand on the way of EVE: the TV show.

Nice trailer. But imo the "causality," "butterfly effect," and dominion trailers where superior both in terms of impact (or "goosebumps") and in terms of accurately representing eve. This one is typical sci-fi fare with an Eve skin.

But nice trailer all the same.

I've been playing EVE too long, I'm setting the thinking "ouch, he's gonna have a hard time scooping those sentries" lol.

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.



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.


Maybe you're playing the wrong game...

Did you notice that there appeared to be nothing but space behind them? Take a closer look, ask yourself how that can possibly be, then sit back and think if maybe there's another explanation.

I must say I prefer the old trailers that concentared fully on ships in space instead of the capsuleers themselves.

Still, it's a very visually pleasing trailer.

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.

So....ghost sites are out there and if you try to loot one it blows up in your face? Is this what comes after loot spew?

Suddenly, world in Rubicon trailer looks more like X-Rebirth gameplay rather than EVE. Yet another cake.

Not on a par with the epic trailers of a few years ago.

Quantum Rise, Dominion...

Also I was under the assumption that the Ghost Sites were a part of the lore around Rubicon but not the main deal.

We want the tech the pirates have been developing, CONCORD & the Empires say "nope", we go and take it anyway. Fits the whole theme of defying the empires & there being no going back from that pretty well, I'd say.

Nice timing with the release of X-rebirth. One could almost say it is a coincidence Smile

I think my favourite part was the sentry drone deployment. That looked awesome to me.

I was surprised by the female voice. I was expecting something tougher because of her look, like Michelle Rodriguez or similar.

Maybe I missed it, but I was really expecting to hear the low-shield klaxon as the guy got shot-up.

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?

They are. When you are in a pod there is no air in you. You lungs, esophagus, sinuses, and airway are full of fluid. So there is nothing to bubble, its all clear fluid.

No going back from...what exactly? Something I still don't get. We get some additional anchorable structures. K, cool. We get some additional anoms, and those new anoms give stuff to manufacture additional implants. K, cool.

Not trying to nitpick or criticize, but I've seen the "no going back" tossed around a lot by CCP and others, and it doesn't seem to have any in game relevance. So, does anyone know what no going back actual refers to in terms of game play or features? Or did CCP just decide to toss slogans at us?

I had thought the chain of causation went the other way, probably because of the order information was released.

Capsuleers start pushing out of CONCORD's reach, dropping POCOs and the like, getting an upper hand on the empires. This spooks the pirate factions, who then try to carry out experiments to give them an edge over the capsuleers. We find these and this scares the hell out of CONCORD.
