Just watched all the old trailers..

and I have to say i do miss the Scope News shorts.. about story line aspects.

But did have a lol at a couple.. There is one where a Abaddon (I am presuming the Amarr queen's) one shots a titan and a field of supers..
And a Null sec battle.. Where is US players Vs Ruski made me think of the current Null war

The Abaddon was the one time Empress Jamyl Sarum took to the field of battle and pretty much slaughtered a Minmatar fleet that had been forged for invading the Empire. The act led her to power. The weapon she used was a Terran super weapon that causes a ship's shields to implode on itself. This explains how (damaged) Amarrian vessels remain after the weapon's use (like old doomsday weapons that attack the grid) but all the Minmatar ships ended up getting torn apart.

This event is covered within the absolutely awesome book (that I highly recommend to everyone): EVE - Empyrean Age

If there's a book that truly covers the holy crapness of EVE, it is that one. Easy read too and don't slow down for a moment.

Man that's an exciting looking game. What's it called?

Judging by the look - X-Rebirth. I hope those EgoSoft guys will create MMO game some day.

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.


That makes no sense at all, why wouldn't the empires want us to go and destroy pirate sites?


They do NOT want us looting the pirate technology. At all. CONCORD want any technology that helps capsuleers move faster to be destroyed.

Empyrean Age had way too much deus ex machina going on in it, it was really aggrivating and I'd hesitate to call it "absolutely awesome" as a result.

First off; trailer looks amazing!

Second, does anyone else feel that the general 'feel' of the trailer has become a bit less 'Eve' and a bit more 'Star Wars'?
I'm thinking especially of things like the camera movement and angles. Less 'cold and distant' and more 'in your face and close to the action'.
It doesn't really fit my personal perspective on the Eve atmosphere.
The addition of actual people in the trailers hasn't been around for very long yet, and it definitely changes the way the videos feel, but if it were me directing it I'd not zoom in quite as much, to create a more 'calculated and calm immortal pod pilot' than a 'caught in the heat of the moment immortal pod pilot'.
Immortals aren't so afraid to die after all.


Don't know why EVE can't be a cold, harsh world without being in our face and close to the action at the same time. EVE is not Star Wars, but when big ships line up to do battle, the result is probably going to be much the same regardless of the milieu. And pod pilots, immortal or not, are still human. I don't know why they wouldn't be afraid to die. In fact, I would imagine the experience of dying would be far more traumatic for a capsuleer than anyone else since they would know it's happened. For anyone else, death is the end, so there is no trauma, but for a pod pilot, each time it happens, it would wear on them.

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.


well I think the views of the pilots are more of a virtual projection that they experience- like how we see our UI, that's what they "see" and experience.

I remember when they started doing live-action cinematic trailers for Halo, but I don't remember players complaining that the game looked nothing like that... oh, that's right, because they were cinematic trailers, and you're not supposed to expect anything from them except a giddy sense of anticipation.

I love this trailer. In fact, I would argue it's their best yet, bar none. No silly narration VO like Retribution and Odyssey, and it is quite suspenseful, ending in a scene that makes me wonder... will these Ghost exploration sites actually explode and pod people? Because I can't wait for the forum tears on that one if that's the case.

I have EVE tunnel vision, and although there are a few games that manage to sneak through it like the new Xcom expansion and, of course, GTA 5, someone's gonna need to tell me what the hype is about X-Rebirth.

Just watched the trailer on Steam. Looks interesting, but like any new releases I'll wait a few weeks before I spend $50 on it to see what kinda bugs need to be worked out first.

Doubt it. (Though a two-stage explosion that first took your ship, then podded you if you didn't get out right quick, would indeed flood the forums in tears.) It's just shorthand for "the explosions are really violent." They don't bother illustrating pods for the same reason they don't bother explaining that ships have shields *and* armor *and* hull. The important thing is that the pirates are dangerous and failure to hack the tower has serious consequences.

After all, the new intro movie for EVE implies that Executioners are shield-tanked.

This trailer was pretty poor. Not even remotely entertaining.

First, it's about PvE, which is the most boring content in the game.

Second, it's about new niche sites, that will either be too rare or too common, and I guess will constitute less than 2% of all PvE by market ISK value.

This is how lame these expansions (patches) are. There is no "there, there". A freaking video about hisec pocos would have probably been more interesting.

That's a cool trailer, but I think it belongs in "Out Of Pod Experience". We should probably keep things EVE-related in GD.

But it was nice of CCP to make a trailer that has more to do with Star Citizen than it does EvE.

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

Yes, this was very generous of CCP. Hats off. Speaking of, I might buy X Rebirth tonight. I watched the trailer, and it looks like EVE without the community. Which, in a lot of ways seems perfect to me.
