Absolutely.

I remember when I first started playing 2 years ago and I was really disappointed with the intro movie. This seems much more relevant to the game world as a whole and really shows off the possibilities. An expanded version with more info about the various factions and perhaps a mention of pirate factions would make this an encapsulating introduction.

A decently made cinematic that actually gives people an idea about either the background of the EVE universe or what it is that a Capsuleer does is vastly more appropriate.

It's not even a very good trailer. EVE has a plethora of other, better trailers that are well made, good looking and about spaceships.

It's rather interesting how decisive CCP's creations can be.

I was talking specifically about the Caldari prime trailer that one guy linked, not the odyssey trailer, which is better.

for everyone who has watched this trailer, i have a question, is the new trailer better than our intro? would this trailer be better at delivering the message what eve is as our current intro currently does?

personally i believe it is, it does a way better job at explaining the backstory. the way cloning/'dieing' works. It does a great job at showing the war between the factions (honestly wtihout naming them but thats not really important for an intro, ppl will learn the names on the character creation screen). Furthermore it shows action, it shows the connection to dust and gets ppl interested into that too.

so what do you guys think, whats your opinion? should or could this replace our trailer? maybe with a few additions?

Yes

EDIT: Had to add some specificity via a quote there.



LMFAO sorry, I was watching the eve trailers playlist and when I finished watching the origins trailer it auto played this one so as I was making this reply in another thread it was starting the next video in the play list and I cntrl Ced as I paused the vid. Yes indeed you are correct :P I do not want that as a intro video...I want THIS EVE Universe Origins

PLEASE do - makes for a much better intro for new players, and is more of the current "EVE theme"

I agree, there are some scenes in the intro video for DUST that are EVE Online content as well; however, as you said it is the same universe. They SHOULD be connected like that so that new EVE players are aware of the existence of DUST and new DUST players aware of the existence of EVE. I think the Origins video does a nice job of providing equal content so both games are represented well and a great backstory with much better graphics then the original intro vid XP

Unanimous? Should you not base your decisions on more than what 10 players of the 50k subscriber base says? Don't get me wrong, It's a good Idea but I wouldn't call It unanimous as far as the entire playerbase is concerned (as early as you did anyway). Kind of like reading the first 10 votes of an election that all chose the same person and saying "we will go with this guy because it's what everyone clearly wants".

Yeah... anyway... I'm going to bed.
