EVE General Discussion

Both are valid, depends on what region you're from.

Side note, actress sounded like speaking isn't something she normally does. Forced accent?

Pretty actress, but delivery was too stiff. She sounds like she's trying to talk to a deaf person who can't hear her.

Also, the "first person view" really needed to feel more "wobbly" - like a person looking around, not just a camera pointed just at her. I know why they didn't do this though - green screening a moving camera and doing the camera motion to match is a royal ***** to do. You need to get a good compositor that can do that easily.

If you did more camera motion it would have felt like a more interactive experience rather than simply staring at her deliver her lines.

I hope she's not the new EVE mascot overall - as much as the eye candy is nice, it's not quite "EVE".

I'm sure this is a foray into a few different experiments, and my props to the hard work put into this - but you need to go farther.


This is a great site for compositing work you should look at : http://spyfilms.com/

Funny one i just saw :

Note how the monster is composited with the background motion. You need that with her on the 3d background.

I really liked that trailer.

The woman looked like Claudia Black.

Damn she is hot!

So... what could possibly be wrong with using people to advertise a game where the only people you can see it's yourself and the only thing you can do with your avatar is sitting in a couch?

I really liked it, I think a lot more stuff like this could generate some good general interest and get more gamers playing. The bit about new players being able to specialise and take part with vets was good, if not entirely true :)

FIX UR FRUCKING POST EATIGN FRUMS AND THEEN I WLIL POTS AGAING.

IT DOSNT HVE SENCE TO USE CRRETC GRAMAR SPEELING WELL TOUGHT SENTNCSE WHEN UR FRUCKING FRUMS ATE MI POSTS

POASTING ***** FROM NOW ON

Atrocious dialogue
Cheap acting
Canned Motion Graphics

Guys,

if you can't write dialogue, don't.
if you can't afford quality actors, don't use cheap ones.
if you keep using the same motion graphics, they will wear thin.

Your last trailer was a brief return to form - wtf were you smoking to drop this on us? Did we offend you in some way? Was it something we said?

If I recall correctly, the response to the last trailer was fantastic and has already clocked up over half a million hits on YouTube. Did someone in marketing look at those stats and say it isn't good enough? And that you need to spend more money to make the difference? Who is running the marketing team now anyway? Who has made these decisions?

I just cannot believe that you guys all sat around, watched this together and believed it was good enough to post. It's bad enough that you have been filming the developer videos as if they're episodes of CSI, with shaky-cams, fake vignettes and forced bokeh.

Now we have to contend with this tripe?

Stop trying to do something you cannot and get back to in-house tools + hard beats, because all you are doing is proving that you are unnecessary OPEX figures, drawing money from where it is needed; development.

How much did this video cost?
How much did the actress cost?
How much did the camera cost?
Did you actually pay someone to write that dialogue?
Can you get the money back?

Whoever pulled the strings on this video - call me and justify your decisions.

You guys have my number and my email address, and you know where I live - screw it, say the word and I'll buy a first class ticket to Iceland and wax lyrical for three days straight with no bathroom breaks if you want me to - this is terrible guys, just terrible.

And what makes all of this even worse is this:

You have some exceptional talent in the marketing video department - You are better than this, by a factor of thousands.

WEIRD-a$$ trailer for sure.

Nothing wrong with the actress or the setting, but.............
All of FIFTEEN seconds of Gameplay are featured. WT Heck were they thinking ?

Anyone stumbling on it will NOT be encouraged to play. MAYBE if they click the link to the second vid which is much better....but it's hard to get a good second First Impression.

so am i the only one who actually like the video? makes me wish CCP made all thier chronicles into videos...

This but it wasn't a trailer it was a introduction thingy.
